Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
I attempted to install this as a txp_image.php replacement but had a few problems. I am using rc1 installed on a Mac (10.3), although I do not know what build as I simply retrieved via http.
First, the instructions indicate that if one wants to use ImageMagick, one is to go to line 370 and set the value for $im to 1. For me, line 370 did not seem to have any bearing all. I noted that within the first 20 lines (line 13) there was a place where RT_IMAGICK was set to zero. I reset that variable to 1, as it was also called on line 388 – in the line: <pre>$funct = mdp_im_or_gd(RT_IMAGICK);</pre>
I got was a blank screen when attempting to access the ‘images’ area of txp admin.
Next, I reset the altered value back to zero but the same blank screen occurred.
As for as I know I followed the installation instructions properly: I renamed the original as txp_image.php.original, copied the text of the replacement and pasted into a new file (via pico), named the new file txp_image.php. Did I miss something?
While I would love to be able to track this down myself, I am not sure how. Any thoughts on what is wrong or what I may need to do to track this down?
BTW – I have no idea if GD is installed, but as I self-installed ImageMagick I wonder if I made a mistake there. Any clue on what I should do to check that?

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
i just intalled the plugin/hack and it works fine on my txp 1.0rc1 except that i can’t change the width of thumbnails, they all come out 150px wide.
i changed “<code>define(‘RT_TW’,300);</code>” in txp_image.php from 150 to 300 but nothing happened.
any ideas why?

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
Fullmonty – your fix does get 1.0rc1 working with imagemagik, but I have noticed that not all aspects of thumbnail sizing work… If you put in absolute dimensions it tends to ignore them and make up its own. If you specify a square (eg 75 × 75) then it works perfectly.
Hopefully this hack will be included in a future release of TXP or hopefully (insert sheepish grin) greenrift might release a new version…

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
hi. I have installed version 0.5 on local server setup with XAMPP and 1.0RC1.
I see the checkboxes for resize and thumbnail (checked) and no error messages, but neither works. I don’t see the thumbnail in the images list, and resize doesn’t work.
Anything I am doing incorrectly? Does anything more need to be installed for the hack to work?
Thanks

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
Helllo,
I’m using your hack and have to tell you its fantastic!! However, I’ve got a few problems. I’m using Textpattern 1.0rc1 and when I try to upload images above 300k I get this error…
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3460 bytes) in /DISK2/WWW2/creativesplash.info/knl/textpattern/include/txp_image.php on line 505
Any idea whats going on?
update:
Well apparently the images get listed (but are not resized and thumbnailed). The following are my settings..
define(‘RT_IMAGICK’,0)
define(‘RT_RESIZE’,640);
define(‘RT_TW’,150);
define(‘RT_TH’,150); //

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
Oh Oh Oh pick me…I have a question.
After fighting with 1and1 forever I finally got IM installed, but I am trying to figure out if there is a way to direct txp_image.php to the absolute path to my IM libraries. It is imposible to install in the root/htdocs of the actual server, however it is installed in the root of my 4000mb space. I installed <a href=“http://gallery.menalto.com”/>Gallery</a> and found a nice thread for getting IM installed and working for that… But now how do I tie it in with txp and your txp_image.php replacement?
Thanks!

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
Thumbnails don’t work, since RC3. Image directory permissions problem.
I get a message saying I should change settings or /images to 777 which is what I have done. Image upload works fine when I revert to the default image.php include.
Anyone have any ideas?

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
Have any of you tested using this with RC3 later than rev200? I mean, RC3 in late february wasn’t that rock steady ;)

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
Major issue:
for some reason, when installed this comes up with:
Warning: cannot write to image directory
/images.
Please change file permissions to 777.
It seems to be due to the fact that using $doc_root in the script isn’t getting the $doc_root on my server…
Possibly due to this? // 1.0 removed $doc_root variable from config, but we’ll // leave it here for a bit until plugins catch up $txpcfg[‘doc_root’] = $_SERVER[‘DOCUMENT_ROOT’];

Re: mdp_Automatic Thumbnail's
well. I got the hack completed (hope you guys don’t mind).
Was a simple operation of replacing:
$doc_root.$path_from_root.$img_dir.’/’
With:
IMPATH
defined as: define(“IMPATH”,$path_to_site.’/’.$img_dir.’/’);
as per the original…
