Re: lam_dynamic_image (on-the-fly article image resizing and display)
thanks for the info gocom! unfortunately i’m still unable to move the contents of image.php straight into the plugin code and have it work. i can’t seem to call the function via the url (something like siteurl.com/?image=whatever etc) nor can i get it to use the attributes straight from the lam_article_image (or lam_image) tag $atts rather than using gps/$_REQUEST arrays via the url. bah! i’ll have to stick with the way it is for now until i learn/understand more.

Re: lam_dynamic_image (on-the-fly article image resizing and display)
This looks like just the kind of thing I need! However, it’s not working for me. I checked with my hosting, and they say GD 2 is installed, but all I get is an empty page.
This works, and I see the full-size image:
http://www.culinaria.se/images/image.php?image=24.jpg
but this gives nothing:
http://www.culinaria.se/images/image.php?image=24.jpg&width=490
Any idea what might be causing this?

Re: lam_dynamic_image (on-the-fly article image resizing and display)
Ok now I’m really confused. The plugin seems to be working for some images, but not all.
Maybe there’s something about the image itself that stops it from being resized – a limit to how big the original can be maybe? Of course my authors are uploading photos the way they come out of the camera, so they can be quite huge.
Weirdness…

but this gives nothing:
When you say ‘nothing’ do you mean your expected image is missing — or the whole page is totally blank?

Shows up as a broken image on the page. red x.
The url I posted is a direct link to the image.php, so that shows a blank page.

Harri
over in this thread you said…
Now I’m trying to use your lam_dynamic_image instead, but that’s not working either, I get internal server error…
Please could you post your textpattern diagnostics (go to the admin > diagnostics tab to see them) for the site that’s giving that error.
Thank you.

thank you for posting that. Further requests…
- at the time the site was giving the 500 Internal Server errors, was it setup as live, testing or debugging in the
admin > preferences > basictab? - If it happened to be set to debugging, could you set it to testing and try again — please let me know if this cures your 500 internal server error problem .

No, it was set to testing all the time. There was no error message on the page, it only showed in my Activity window in Safari.
If I set to debugging, all hell breaks loose because of other plugins.

Re: lam_dynamic_image (on-the-fly article image resizing and display)
thats odd. i just tested it using that giant 24.jpg on my test server using 490 as width and it worked fine. my first guess would be a memory issue since resizing images via php takes a bit of horsepower (especially when you reach larger images). i’ll try to see what happens on my other hosts i can toy around with.

Re: lam_dynamic_image (on-the-fly article image resizing and display)
just tried another test http://iblastoffmedia.com/articles/test-resize-again
and it worked fine. with same attributes using that 24.jpg and width of 490. hmm this doesn’t help you or me. i’ll keep digging.

Re: lam_dynamic_image (on-the-fly article image resizing and display)
well i finally got it to not work and thats when i reset the memory_limit in php.ini to 8M (i typically use 32M as i remember some other php apps required higher than 8). if you have such control over your host try changing your memory_limit and see if that makes a difference. to see what you currently have alloted just use a simple phpinfo check to see what memory_limit is currently set to. not sure if this is the issue applicable to you but might as well start crossing things off the list.
i’ll see if i can add some sort of memory check in the plugin.
