http://www.matmoo.com/codeigniter/image_moo/ if you check the comments that has already been pointed out 😊 and fixed (Just not uploaded yet). What’s the point of the background image? I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve. Thanks for the positive comments though.

Yeah, I spotted this comment later 😊 sorry bout that..

Well, sometimes, when we have a box of 200x200 pixels, and picture only 200x100..
As for now, we can fill it with the background color, and that’s ok.
but sometimes it would be good to put background instead of a color.

Other solution could be:
to convert an image to PNG, and instead of a color background it would place transparent background. and we just make a <div>./image.png</div>

Where <DIV> would have an image as a background

What do you think about it? maybe there are even more elegant solutions?

Thank you!

A background div would make more sense, otherwise if there is a change to the site design all your images created would be wrong 😊

Good tip 😊
Well, I think I will later search if I can make at least background transparent 😊 so the <DIV> thingy would work

Thank you:)

Cool lib! Thanks very much for sharing 😊

Hello again 😊

on your page, in the manual it is written:

save_pe($prepend="", $append="", $overwrite=FALSE)

but it should be : “save_pa(...”

One little mistake 😊

as for now, no problems at all 😊

Thanks one more time 😊

Updated to 0.9.9 and added shadow facility, updated files on website.

I get this error :

Message: Undefined property: Image_moo::$error

the library is copied in “system/libraries/”
what’s wrong?

Should be system/application/libraries for ci 1.7.2 and /application/libraries for ci 2.

thanks for the quick reply.

I’ve tried putting in the application/library folder also

I’m using codeigniter 1.7.2

Sorry I’m a newbie with codeigniter and programming.
I just load the library in the controller and then, in the view put this code :
$this->image_moo
  ->load(‘DSC01707.JPG’)
  ->resize_crop(100,100)
  ->round(5)
  ->save_dynamic();
it’s correct?

I know that the my image path should be different, is only an example.

i have 8 images and I would to create thumbnail for each one. The name of the images come from a database. I have the array with the name of each image and I would like to create this mini-gallery.

For 1.7.2 you need it in system/application/libraries 😊 Save_dynamic will stream output to the screen not save it anywhere. But otherwise your code is identical to my example. add

if($this->image_moo->errors) print $this->image_moo->display_errors();.

after the call (Make sure you using php5) as it will tell you any errors it encounters.

As for the gallery, assuming you have done the query (active records)

foreach($dbquery->result() as $row)
{
 $this->image_moo->load($row->image_name)->resize_crop(100,100)->round(5)->save_dynamic();
}

However it would be better to create thumbnails when the image is uploaded and save to disk, instead of always resizing the image.

Thanks, now the library works.

The problem is that doesn’t show the thumb and the error is :
could not locate file_name No main image loaded!

the path is correct, is like :

src="<?php echo base_url(); ?>images/data/<?php
                $this->image_moo->load($row->foto)->resize_crop(100,100)->round(5);
                if($this->image_moo->errors) print $this->image_moo->display_errors(); "
            ?>

The folder as all the permissions and I’m on my locahost server.

I will try directly online.

Thanks a lots for helping and share this library.

Your calling a function that generates the image, there is no path needed, just use

src="<?php $this->image_moo->load(base_url()."images/data/".$row->foto)->resize_crop(100,100)->round(5)->save_dynamic()?>"

You can’t really add the error checking in to the img src, I *think* that will work, not the best way to do it. Better off creating a helper function, but even then you should consider not resizing at run time as the amount of additional cpu power required is a lot more.

I need help with my watermarks. I’ve tried watermarking a png but all I get is a black image the size of the png. I was wanting to watermark the png because it is overlayed a jpg with a fade effect, and moves out of the way when the pointer is over the top.

So, I gave up and tried to do the jpg instead. Here’s my code ($image2 is passed in and is ok with the correct path):

$this->image_moo
                ->load($image2)
                ->make_watermark_text("copyright","/applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/project/x.ttf",25,"#000")
                ->watermark(1)
                ->save_dynamic();

and here’s my error

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined property: Image_moo::$watermark_method
Filename: libraries/image_moo.php
Line Number: 829

Can you help?
