Image Resizer doesn't seem to work with files that contain spaces

11/14/2012 6:03 pm | #1 Ian S

Hi Guys,

I've been scratching my head for a bit as I have a webpage where image resizer is applied to a repeat region.

Some of the images were resizing and cropping as instructed, but some were not.

After a bit of playing around I have discovered that the files that don't resize have spaces in the filenames (the images are user uploaded content so I can't control this).

Is this an issue you know about, or can replicate / fix?

Cheers
Ian

I dont have a fix at this time, but i have logged the issue in our bug base to be corrected in a future update.

to prevent spaces in uploaded file names in the future, you can add the following at line 1 of pages that use the upload behavior:

php:

<?php
if(sizeof($_FILES) > 0) {
    foreach($_FILES as $k => $v) {
        $_FILES[$k] = str_replace(" ", "", $v);
    }
}
?>

Hi Jason,

I see that the latest version of the Image Resizer addresses the spacing issue in file names, and it does seem to be a big improvement but there are still some images that wont resize.

Please see:

shops.php?pageNum_rsshops=1&totalRows_rsshops=25

and look at the images for the shop - Madam Popoff Vintage

Some images with spaces do resize, others don't?

I'll try reuploading the problematic images tomorrow, but just wondered if I was missing something?

Cheers

looking at the source:
<img src="http://www.seemysale.co.uk/public/seemylocalshop/madam popoff shop.jpg" alt="" width="225" border="0">

it looks like the image is hosted on another domain. Only images hosted on your site can be resized.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for getting back to me.

This was one of my very early considerations before I noticed the space issue.

However, all the images on that page are hosted on another domain.

e.g

<img src="../image_cache/site/www.seemysale.co.uk/public/seemylocalshop/crop/P5211465_w75_h60/P5211465_11091117.jpg" alt="" width="75" height="60" border="0"/>

But Image resizer appears to work for them?

Its just the odd few, with spaces, that don't seem to work.

Cheers

you're right i was misspoken, it should work with remotely hosted images.

it seams that the update for spaces doesn't work with images on a remote server, i have reopened the bug so it can be corrected for remotely hosted images with spaces in the name.

Hi Jason,

I posted this earlier but it seems to have disappeared.

Are there any plans to get the image resizer working with SEO friendly URLs? I know there is a jQuery fix on the forum, but would be good if the extension was able to handle them automatically.

Cheers

the solution for this will be to add a base tag to the base with a full link using an href parameter.

for example, if you have a URL:
1

and that is a rewrite to:
news.php?post=1

then add a base tag of:
<base href="http://mysite.com/news.php">

just after the opening <head> tag of the page.
