Mark, Thanks i’m fine Just lots of real Job stuff to be done..

anyway
mr_dimsum 2.1 now has cropping / scaling

P.J.
I wont go into your other request just yet other than to say i will look into them
but i will say about #4 there is a undocumented param for the (single tag) style=”” which you can pass any CSS style=“border:0px;margin:5px;”  something like that. just be wherry of passing any single or double quotes. Also {img_height} and {img_width} will work as well as {width} and {height}

Mark, Thanks i’m fine Just lots of real Job stuff to be done..

Excellent news. Glad to hear that you are okay. Also this is real job stuff anyway isn’t it?

Anyhow glad to see you’re all right.

Best wishes,

Mark

Is there a way to set it as a MAX height or MAX width instead of a definite width and height? Like, if an image is SMALLER than the dimensions defined, it leaves the image alone? Thanks!

I have a feeling it does that already RocketMedia, any one else know?

It actually doesn’t. I had to end up commenting out a portion of the code so it acts as Max Height and Max Width. Works great now.

well it did but in previous request in this forum for upscale i changed it because no one objected to it.
next version i will put in a switch to turn that off

Awesome Great job by the way. Your plug-in definitely saved me many, many, many headaches. I just finished implementing the plug-in into a site that has over 300 images. Great time saver!

Hi,

I tried to use this plugin to crop my images but I keep getting this error.

There are also no cache images rendered (no files in filedir ‘cache’).

Anyone know what to do?

I haven’t been able to give the new update a try, but thanks for looking into my request regarding the non-square cropping (specifiable width and height).. But I have a question in regards to that feature. Does it basically just crop the dimensions beginning from the center, or is there any scaling involved in the process before it is cropped? If I had an image about 2000 x 2000 in diameter, a crop of 200 x 100 would not be optimal, unless the image was first scaled smaller (based on the larger of two, height or width) and than cropped.

Just some thoughts.. Hopefully you can let me know. I’ve been out of EE for the past bit and just getting back into it as I just relocated.

mr_dimsum
it scales the image proportionally then trims the longer of the sides to stay within the supply params depending on your width and height

I have trouble making this plugin work on my server.
I do have GD2 enabled, but I think the problems comes from the version am using:

Phpinfo says:
GD Support   enabled
GD Version   bundled (2.0.28 compatible)

But I managed to get it working on my second Server which has these settings:
GD Support   enabled
GD Version   2.0 or higher

I dont know what a bundled version mean but, looks like it’s preventing imgsizer to work on my server. I even tried olders versions of the plugin but at no avail.

Did any one encounter that problem?

I’m having trouble getting anything to show up. There isn’t even anything being rendered in the source code.

Here’s my code, I hard coded the img src and it still doesn’t work. I wasn’t sure if there was something I might be missing. I have GD2 set and it’s a higher version than what is listed on the plugin code.

I have both the single tag and tag pairs going as well as a relative and absolute link to cover all the bases.

Please let me know if you guys need anymore info for this.
Thanks.

Is there was a way to perform a crop to a specified dimension, without any resizing?

Maybe not a typical request, but for example, I could use it right now for high-res fabric swatches I’m using right now.  I’d like the thumb to essentially crop to the dimensions, in the center or top-left w/o resize

if the plug-in shows nothing at all that means it could not find the image or could not write the sized image to cache…
more than likely a permissions problem try creating a cache folder in the same folder the image is in, and chmod 777

Lumis, you’re AWESOME!! I can’t tell you how happy I am you wrote this plugin! Works like a charm!

I HATE to ask this—and I’m only asking after recently discovering that my client ended up uploading over 200 BMP image files to their site (rather than JPGs or PNGs as I had advised and explained to them… groan… It’s all fixed now, but it took a whole day that could have been better spent!)—is there any chance (or point?) in also supporting the BMP format too?

If not, I totally understand and don’t really care. It’s still a brilliant plugin! *HIGH-FIVE!*

Hi Lumis

Just wanted to use your plugin instead of phpThumb, but I’m running into a problem. Seems that there’s an odd behaviour with the realpath function here

$img_rootpath is false here, thus the plugin is not returning anything.

I’m doing this on a dev server without a domain yet, http://www.example.com/~customer

Might the ~ be a problem?

perfect ! work like a charm ... thank you ....

should we wait to add “Watermark” feature in next versions ?

Lumis, thanks for the reply. I had created the cache folder and set the permissions to 777.

As far as the image path goes, if I just code a plain old <img src> with the same absolute path coded in as I did with the plugin the image shows up in the rendered page. Is this an indication that the path should work with the plugin?
