Richard, it will be false whenever the image has already been resized. Am I missing something?

BUG: if statement can never be true

function resize_image()
…
$imagename = md5($filename . ‘,’ . $width . ‘,’ . $height);
…
if(!file_exists(‘../wp-content/imagescaler’ . $imagename)){
// make image
…
}

Hakan, it looks like imagescaler can’t write to the /wp-content/imagescaler/ directory. Do you have access to the permissions of that directory?

by the way i have download the latest version but it gave me a bunch of errors like this:

Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /var/www/vhosts/sec1tane.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/image-scaler/imagescaler.php on line 60

Thanks

I really liked your plugin but i couldnt make it work. I have some images from other hosts. I host them on Imageshack. So i wanted to have those images to be thumbnailed in the post. But i think this plugin doesnt work in wp 2.3.
Is there a solution for making thumbnails from Imageshack or other host?
I could find for an alterneative for this.
Waiting for your reply.

Thanks
Regards

Hi Paul,

thanks for the addition :)
Btw, there is a shortcut get_option(‘siteurl’) which works just as well, essentially accesses the same cache, but might be more future-proof.

@burnick: I was going to upgrade to WP 2.3 sometime too. The preflight check plugin didn’t mention any problems with ImageScaler. Which ones did you encounter? Maybe I could help getting it to work.

Dominique, thanks, I will do that for the next release.

burnick, I haven’t gotten around to installing 2.3 on my own blog yet because of school/exams. Unless a user figures out the problem and how to fix it, it will be a while until the plugin works for 2.3.

Hi Paul!

First thank you for this great plugin! It fits really well to the needs of a website I’m creating right now. The maximum image size was the (second ;) last thing that was missing.

The very last thing would be to make the plugin work if the blog URL differs from the WordPress URL (see http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory).

The solution seems to me to use the ‘siteurl’ option value instead of the ‘home’ option, i.e. replacing each occurrence of

$wp_object_cache->cache['options']['alloptions']['home']

with

$wp_object_cache->cache['options']['alloptions']['siteurl']

Right now I patched your plugin for my personal use, but it would surely be a nice “official” addition that other users could benefit from, too.

Take care
Dominique
