Image Resizer and PowerCMS2

Is it possible to use Image Sizer in the following way? Clients currently use PowerCMS2 to upload images to their websites. If these images are large, say 1200x1600 pixles 3MB, then the pictures do appear on the website but even when scaled down to say 120 x 160 pixels the file size of the image is still 3MB. Can Image Resizer be used to allow these PowerCMS2 client uploaded images to be automatically resized?

I ask because some clients find it hard to cope with resizing images prior to updating with PowerCMS and automatic resizing would make everything far easier.

Yes, it can be used for that.

Thanks, that is good news. However, I cannot get it to work and cannot see a help section on it.

I have <?php require_once( "webassist/caching/CachedResize_Image.php" ); ?> at the head of the .php page


Then in the page body

<?php
if(TRUE){ // Begin Cached Resized Image: ImageCacheInstance_1287481215749
ob_start();
?>

<?php include('/home/sites/stuffandsew.co.uk/public_html/cmsupdate/WA_CMS/addtosite.php'); echo WA_getCMSContent($database_PowerCMSConnection, $PowerCMSConnection, 'robert', 'Content', false); ?>

<?php
echo(getCachedResizedImageHTML(ob_get_clean(), "image_cache", "stretch", "", false));
} // End Cached Resized Image: ImageCacheInstance_1287481215749
?>

The webassist folder is uploaded.

The images sent up tthrough PowerCMS2 do not seem to resize. If I add a normal image to the webspage using Dreamweaver then it does resize.

I am obvioussly missing a trick somewhere. Can you point me in the right direction?

That should work. Do you have a sample URL where I can look at it?

The PowerCMS2 - Image Resizer combination is on this sample page

robert2.php

The image although small in physical size is downloading at 658kb

Could it be the way PowerCMS2 is displaying the width and height information?

<img hspace="30" alt="IMG_0803.JPG" align="left" style="width: 90px; height: 162px" src="/cmsupdate/files/IMG_0803.JPG">

Yes... it is because you are using:

style="width 90px; height: 162px"

instead of:

width="90" height="162"

I'll log this as a feature request that we can try to address in the next dot release.

Whilst awaiting your dot release of Image Resizer to address this snag is there anything I can do to make PowerCMS2 and Image Resizer work together now. Is there a way that PowerCMS2 can output the appropriate version of this code to suit the needs of Image Resizer i.e the appropriate version of

<img hspace="30" alt="IMG_0803.JPG" align="left" style="width: 90px; height: 162px" src="/cmsupdate/files/IMG_0803.JPG">

I presume this would be

<img hspace="30" alt="IMG_0803.JPG" align="left" width="90" height="162" src="/cmsupdate/files/IMG_0803.JPG">

Send me an email at ray@webassist.com and I'll send you the update necessary to fix this issue.
