I've had the problem of Smart Image Processor PHP 2 not resizing images nor creating thumbnails when the original image is about 700KB or larger - which isn't that big by today's cameras standards. It's not appropriate that I ask & instruct my clients to resize their images before uploading them, which is what I've had to do - that's what I bought this script for.

Luckily I found the answer on this forum posted by Mat P. - thank you Mat - here's the link
wwww.dmxzone.com/forum/topic/43588/

My question is - when are you going to fix this in your script so I don't have to manually edit this each time I use it? After all, this is a paid product and the reason I bought it is to save me the time & trouble of manually editing things like this.

Are you aware of the problem? Do you have a fix planned?

Thanks,

Hello Chi,

The problem can be easily solved if you place server behaviors in a particular order :
1.) PPU;
2.) SIP;
3.) Rest;

Regards,

Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure this will always solve the problem. I always place Pure PHP Upload before Smart Image Processor behaviors but always have the problem.

When you say: The problem can be easily solved if you place server behaviors in a particular order :
1.) PPU;
2.) SIP;
3.) Rest;

Do you mean that PPU & SIP have to be first? At the very top? How about the Recordset?

I would like to include a screen shot of my behaviors, but your add image button isn't working.

An example of a page that's not working has the behaviors in the following order.
1) Recordset
2) Insert Record
3) Pure PHP Upload
4) Image Processor PHP 2.0.5 ($sipp2)

What order should they be in?

Hello Chi,

I haven't put that right - when applying server behaviors on the page you need to follow that order. Also you need to mind where you place a redirection. It must be at the last placed Sip(if more than 1 is applyed on the page).

Regards,

This is pretty silly and dreadful support for an issue that has been long overdue to be fixed.

More than half way through 2010 and this and another issue related to the version check in cGraphicMediator.php file.

Highly recommended the post below to fix the issue, but surely this should have been fixed already? Thank you also to Mat for the example fix of misplaced code.

Wow this looks like a very old issue that still now in 2012 isnt corrected. I am very concerened as I have just purchased the mega collection for PHP and I am having issues with large images say 14 mb from a camera uploading and not being processes to a smaller file size.

This is not good, as I have checked the link provided above and my code is structured in the manner presented.

Any updates or suggestions on this would be great!

Are the files being uploaded to the server?

I think one of your problems may be the fact the file size of each image (14mb) is quite high and possibly why its not necessarily doing the job of re-sizing, its the time it will take the server to process also, especially if you are on a shared hosting space.

Try a test with just one file upload and the re-size process.

Let me know how you get on.

My advice from developing a few estate agent websites, is scale the images to a manageable size and optimise. Then use these as the files that get uploaded. You will save yourself lots of headaches.

I have this running on a dedicated linux box with only one site on it, this site. I bimped up the php.ini to 10000MB and when loading 1 large file by its self its not working. Smaller files work, its just when a large file from say a digital cam is loaded it dies on me.
I also increased the time out to 1000 with no luck.

To get specific, it will upload the image but it wont resize it. for some reason if the image is small it will resize, but if the image is large it just uploads, kinda pointless if you ask me.

Any thoughts?

Hello,

Do you get any

Quote

( ! ) Fatal error

messages?

what exactly in php.ini you set to 10000?
upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, memory_limit need to have proper settings set.

No, no error message. It just uploads the file with out processing it. I have insured that imagemagic is installed as well as gd2 using PHP Info.

It as if the upload works, the DB write works just skips resize on upload. AS you can see I have the latest versioin of PPU and SIP

upload_max_filesize = 1000M
post_max_size = 1000M
memory_limit = 512M

All set above what is needed.

Do you want me to copy and paste my entire PHP.INI?

Hmm no response.

Have you tried to process any images a lot smaller than 14 meg as from your original post. As my previous message, I am still suspecting it is related to the filesize of the images being so large.

Yes, smaller files work. Im very frustrated, because I canot use the flash multifile uploader in this case. I am kinda at a lost, I bought this extension just for this project and now im stuck up a creek. NO FUN!

I actually removed the sipp and just tested with file upload and it looks like multiple files over 3 is where it clunks out. I cannot use flash so I am hosed

ive played around with rediculous settings in PHP.ini. No luck. Grr.

So the issue looks like the 14 meg filesize?

I would weigh up whether the uploading of the images directly from the camera is actually a necessity. If it isn't then batch processing the images off the camera through Photoshop or some other graphics software first to a more manageable size would be your answer.

I came across this situation with an estate agent who wanted to upload directly from his camera a Nikon, before I reminded him that the photos would need to be processed first for printed literature etc. Once he realised this he got hold of some cheap graphics software batch processed the images for print then used them for uploading and rescaling for the website.

You got to weigh up the pros and cons and ease of use for the client.

Unfortunatley this is app is for people who have limited computer knowledge. I am going to have to look at another solution. I think what I will do is upload on file at a time, then process each file while its on the server I guess in the background. I tried using 3MB files but still it chokes if I do more than 4. Thanks for your help. Most Appreciated!

No worries, good luck!

See the changelog

shame that this extensions was poor on documentation..
I just found a solutions..
add this code

if (isset($editFormAction)) {  
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {  
      if (!preg_match('/.jpg/i',"GP_upload=true", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {  
      $editFormAction .= "&GP_upload=true";  
        }  
  } else {  
    $editFormAction .= "?GP_upload=true";  
  }  
}  

before this line :

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"]

to make the form work with spry validation on form submit add this :

< form onsubmit="if (Spry.Widget.Form.validate(this)){<?php echo $ppu->getSubmitCode() ?>;return document.MM_returnValue;} else {return false;}" >

its work like a charm for me on.
pure php upload 3.0.1 and Smart Image Processor 2.1.0

When is this solution going to be implemented with the extension?

if (isset($editFormAction)) {
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
if (!preg_match('/.jpg/i',"GP_upload=true", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "&GP_upload=true";
}
} else {
$editFormAction .= "?GP_upload=true";
}
}

Hi I have been experiencing the same issue.
The file is uploading but it doesn’t want to resize. I am not sure what to do. I have been working at this for the past 2 days and no matter what I do or order it is on, still it doesn’t work.
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Just replace this code

if (isset($editFormAction)) {
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
	  if (!eregi("GP_upload=true", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  	  $editFormAction .= "&GP_upload=true";
		}
  } else {
    $editFormAction .= "?GP_upload=true";
  }
}

with this code below and it works great

if (isset($editFormAction)) {
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
if (!preg_match('/.jpg/i',"GP_upload=true", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$editFormAction .= "&GP_upload=true";
}
} else {
$editFormAction .= "?GP_upload=true";
}
} 

Hi Reinhardt,
Thanks for getting back to me! Unfortunately, I don't have that in my code.

Miro's answer above is not accurate. I've tried every order possible and none of them allow resize. The only way resize works is if I remove the Insert Record behavior. Seriously useless extension if you can't use it with an Insert Record behavior.

Mike

Well, the extension doesn't work on a recordset. I can only get it to work when used with Pure PHP Upload 3 and no Insert Record behavior, or when resizing a folder. Further, and consistent with other posts in this forum, it will not resize anything right out of a digital camera. I can resize a folder as long as the original images are small. I uploaded one from my digital camera that is over 5M and I get a fatal memory error.

Not a very useful extension. Debating whether I'll demand a refund. And if I do, and they won't grant it, then I'll dispute it with PayPal. I just bought this extension a few days ago and it does not work as advertised. The posts in this forum say a lot about the issues with the extension and over the past 3 to 4 years DMXZone has done nothing to fix it.

Has anyone out there found a resizing extension from someone else that actually works?

Thanks,
Mike

All,

I purchased and tested the upload, insert, and resize extension from DWZone-it.com and it works great! It does not have any of the issues reported all over the DMXZone site for their resize extension. The DWZone-it.com extension is available here:
