Support thread for the Image Magic contribution

[Guest]

Hi All,

 

I have recently installed imagemagic 1.14, but cannot tell if it works correctly.

 

On some pop-ups I find some images small and some large, cannot get them to be the same.

 

Any ideas,

 

My site is at My Webpage

 

Regards

Yes, your popups will be exactly the same size as the original (small, tall, wee or otherwise)

For those upgrading from Image Magic v1.13, it appears that you can simply replace imagemagic.php and apply the following SQL query to update your database. (Be sure to back it up first.)

 

INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (3278,'Apply security features to registered customers','CFG_REGISTERED_WATERMARKS','Yes','If this option is set to no, all image security features will be disabled when a registered customer is browsing your site',333,4,NULL,'2005-01-06 20:24:30',NULL,'tep_cfg_select_option(array(\'Yes\', \'No\'),');
INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (3279,'Help support the OSC Image Magic Project','','Make a donation', CONCAT('Reward the author & support future releases. Please click the button below to make a donation<p><a href=\"http://www.celtware.com/im/donate.php?ref=',FLOOR(0 + (RAND(UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) * 9999999999999999)),'\"><img src=\"http://www.celtware.com/im/donate.php?ref=img',FLOOR(0 + (RAND(UNIX_TIMESTAMP()) * 9999999999999999)),'\" border=\"0\"></a>'),333,-1,'2005-10-03 03:08:38','1899-12-29','','tep_cfg_readonly(');

My images are showing up broken, they have the imagemagic.php in the url. I get this message when I view only the image in my browser:

 

Warning: imagecreatefrompng(): 'images/dvd/the_matrix.gif' is not a valid PNG file in pathtosite\shop\imagemagic.php on line 234

Notice: Undefined variable: frame in pathtosite\shop\imagemagic.php on line 236

Notice: Undefined variable: bevel in pathtosite\shop\imagemagic.php on line 236

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: imageantialias() in pathtosite\shop\imagemagic.php on line 238

 

What can I do to fix this?

Edited May 19, 2006 by yatahaze

[tomjmul 0]

Following the logic through, it would appear that your version of the GD library does not contain the imagecreatefromgif() function. There are particular versions of GD that removed this function due to licencing reasons - good old compuserve >_<

 

Anyways, unfortunately, the solution to this problem is to:

 

1. Update the GD library if you have control of the server

2. Ask your hosting company to due this for you if not

3. Move hosts if they won't

4. Convert your product images to JPEG format (they work much better anyway)

I think the error reporting setting that I changed fixed the problems with jpegs. I was using an example category from the default osC install which is all gif images. Took me at least an hour and a half looking around this thread for the answer, I got it finally... though I'm not sure about the watermarking stuff, if I turn it on I see no watermark... I probably wont need it anyways.

I bet this is a nice contribution. However when Im having difficulties installing it especially with the Install instructions at

 

Step #6 - In :

/catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php

replace the entire tep_image() function with

 

What I did was delete the whole code snippet where all 4 tep_image() are located and pasted the new code from the install instructions but then when I open up my shop I get a

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_draw_separator() in /home/fhlinux188/t/tpstudios.streamlinenettrial.co.uk/user/htdocs/cart/includes/classes/boxes.php on line 117

 

Do I have to replace all 4 tep_images? Or is it just the first one? Also if I uploaded the old html_output.php I can access the store again but if I upload an image the thumbnail is the same like it was when I didnt had image magic installed. There is no frame around the image nor the size is different. I tried playing with the Image configurations but nothing changed. My current Images settings look like this:

 

Images

 

Name Wert Aktion

Small Image Width 120

Small Image Height

Heading Image Width 120

Heading Image Height 0

Subcategory Image Width 100

Subcategory Image Height 0

Calculate Image Size true

Image Required true

Product Information Image Width 120

Product Information Image Height

Calculate Image Size

 

 

Calculate the size of images?

 

hinzugef?gt am: 17.05.2006

 

I tried using some numbers at the Heights or wrote down zeros but no matter what I do the thumbnails just stay the way I define them as the option "calculate image size" doesnt seem to work here. Also the /thumbnails folder has not been created, I had to do it myself.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

also something I would like to add (didnt find an edit button for my previous post) is that if I go to my shop right now the top banner is showin up only as a red X and below comes the error message I posted above. Also I noticed the link to the banner image had changed to

 

http://www.tpstudios.streamlinenettrial.co...850&h=116&page=

is that a good or bad sign that imagemagic is included? lol

 

Hope that helps to see what the problem is.

 

thanks

Hello everybody.

 

I've noticed a few people mentioning that they could not get the dropdown box for watermarks to work properly (just a blank dropdown). In my configuration, I was able to fix that by:

 

Open catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php

 

Change DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT (2 instances)

To DIR_FS_CATALOG

 

So, that is fixed, but now all my images are broken links :rolleyes:

 

Was having the same problem and this solved it.

That is I have something in my drop down menu.

 

Now I have to find how to make the watermark image show although all are set to YES.

 

Thanks.

 

Also thanks to Tom for the awesome contrib.

 

Cheers, W

well I didnt seem to find the solutin in there but I went to the direct link I posted above for the first time (usually I just went to my cart) and it said permission denied etc..so now I created the thumbnails folder in /cart/ and set permssion to 777 and now it works..atleast it displays the picture I mean. I had created the thumbnail folder at /cart/images/ before..oh well you never learn lol

 

but anyhow when I go to my cart the error message still occurs

 

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_draw_separator() in /home/fhlinux188/t/tpstudios.streamlinenettrial.co.uk/user/htdocs/cart/includes/classes/boxes.php on line 117

 

atleast Im seeing the banner now. I hope when you wrote that the solution has been described many times / can be found in the online instructions it doesnt cover the tep_draw_seperator() error or otherwise I must be blind. Since I wouldnt want to post the code on here as it would flood the whole thread I uploaded text versions of html_output and general file so if anybody could have a look and tell me where the problem is would be appreciated.

well for some weird reason when I restore my Original html_output.php file I can access my shop and all thumbnails are now the way I wanted them (calculated size + frame). Great! Also the shop and everything seems to be working so do I need to modify the html_output file then, even if its working with the Original one?

[mortal 0]

here is an example where cache on server is enabled

 

http://filmkaeden.w2wserver.dk/index.php?cPath=10_42

 

 

the image is created in the thumbnail dir

 

 

and is called

starwars2.jpg.thumb_97x140_347a22a0f7e8608d1287e445c93465d6.jpg

That is the most common problem people have with the contribution, the solution is plastered all over this forum and is in big red bold letters in the readme.

You are only meant to replace the tep_image function, not the tep_seperator etc. Yes your pictures will be showing now that you restored the html_output file, but image magic will not be active

I just went to your site. The problem has to do with the fact that safe mode is switched on in your php.ini file. Either switch it off, ask your webhost to do it for you or move hosts.

 

Tom

[mortal 0]

Thank you very much.

 

its my own dedicated server. do you by any chance know how to set safe_mode to off locally ? i have done it in the php.ini file, and i have tried it in the vhost.conf file. but its not working(i have restarted the apache)

turn the safe_mode_gid setting on in php.ini

Edited May 20, 2006 by tomjmul

[mortal 0]

When you turn it off in php.ini have you verified that it is actually off? To do so go into your osc admin panel and click on tools then server info. In the php section have a look for the safe mode setting. It appears as though it is still on.

 

Also turn the safe_mode_gid setting on in php.ini

 

 

Hi. and thanks again for your help.

 

the safe_mode is set to off globally(have just checket the server info). but not locally, i guess its to allow for inividual settings pr. domain

 

you can see the info here

Hi Tom,

 

Thanks for your effort, nice contribution!

 

In case of a server with locally SAFE MODE ON, could it be a solution to CHOWN the folders and images by the imagemagic.php? Could that work?

I'm sorry, but my knowledge isn't good enough to try this out myself, I don't know, where to put the code.

 

Thanks for your help!
