Image upload problem

Hi, I have an image upload file field in my form which creates a normal size file and a thumbnail, but for some reason the thumbnail isn't being created! It's not working on the update page either.

Basically, I am using the same file name for both images, but one is meant to be inserted into a _thumb folder within the imagesupload folder, so the file isn't being overwritten in any way. The image in the folder _thumb is the one not working.

Here's my code on the page for the upload code:


<?php require_once("../webassist/file_manipulation/helperphp.php"); ?>
<?php
// WA_UploadResult1 Params Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params = array();
// WA_UploadResult1_1 Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_1"] = array(
'UploadFolder' => "../imagesupload/",
'FileName' => "[FileName]",
'DefaultFileName' => "",
'ResizeType' => "2",
'ResizeWidth' => "800",
'ResizeHeight' => "",
'ResizeFillColor' => "" );
// WA_UploadResult1_1 End
// WA_UploadResult1_2 Start
$WA_UploadResult1_Params["WA_UploadResult1_2"] = array(
'UploadFolder' => "../imagesupload/_thumb/",
'FileName' => "[FileName]",
'DefaultFileName' => "",
'ResizeType' => "2",
'ResizeWidth' => "250",
'ResizeHeight' => "",
'ResizeFillColor' => "" );
// WA_UploadResult1_2 End
// WA_UploadResult1 Params End
?>
<?php
WA_DFP_SetupUploadStatusStruct("WA_UploadResult1");
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST"){
WA_DFP_UploadFiles("WA_UploadResult1", "fld_eventIMG", "2", "[NewFileName]_[Increment]", "true", $WA_UploadResult1_Params);
}
?>

If I'm missing any other code let me know. I can also give you access to the remote test site, but I'd need to give you that privately.

Also, don't know if this is part of the problem, but within the Image Upload wizard I am unable to set a width for a second image version when I click the + button. To set the size, I have to choose the width and height option, set my prefs there, then choose width which then registers the settings I want... either that, or I simply edit the arrays above to the settings I need.

What wrong here?

to troubleshoot, make sure that page does not redirect after performing the upload, then add the following code at line 1 to turn on error reporting:

<?php 

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors','on');

?>

then open the bindings panel, and expand the uploaded files global status, add the debug info binding to your page.

post back the results after testing the upload again.

Just done that and there is no error, however, the image upload now seems to be working too! Strange!!

Unless, what I think might've happened is that it wasn't working so I deleted all upload info, then reapplied it, and what happened is it created a file in imagesupload folder called abc123_1.jpg, and in the _thumb folder it created and image called abc123.jpg without the increment.

Is that how the upload works? For each file it needs to write, will it look into each folder it's writing to and then name+increment each file based on the content within the folder rather than based on a global name for all files being created?

If so, I might have set up my site wrong for this. I am using single column within the DB table and adjusting the path from imagesupload/abc123.jpg to imagesupload/_thumb/abc123.jpg

  For each file it needs to write, will it look into each folder it's writing to and then name+increment each file based on the content within the folder rather than based on a global name for all files being created?  

yes, that is correct, the file renaming is on a per file basis.

In actual fact, we don't recommend using the resize option in the Upload anymore since we released image resizer.

It's better to only upload the original sized file, then use Image resizer to create the resized images on a page by page basis.

this way you can decide at a later date that the size you are using is to small, then just change the image settings to have it resized on that page, rather than have to re upload the image.

image resizer is much more flexible.

Having just tried a few tests, it must be an issue with when the two folders are out of sync. I had different increments within the two folders which had got out of sync when I initially had the problem.

Hmmm... this could cause me some problems further down the line couldn't it?

Is image resizer a drain on server resources? Could it be used on responsive sites that resize site structure by CSS to mobile screen sizes without creating too much lag in download time?

it only uses server resources the first time the new image size is created. once the new image is created the first time, it is used by the site for each other time it is called.

image resizer users the size attributes on the image tag, not through css.
