[3.2][RC] Auto-Resize Images Server-side

Ext not working phpbb 3.2.5

thank you for your report. looking at the phpbb changelogs, i predicted it would stop working.
i haven't fixed it because i haven't upgraded my board yet, but i think i know what the problem is:
IIRC i read that phpbb dropped support for imagemagick, and there is some phpbb config setting that defines where the imagemagick libs/bins are located on the system. i'm guessing that phpbb setting got removed, so i just have to add something equivalent to the ACP panel for my extension so people can define the path to imagemagick. should be an easy fix.

is it urgent? i'll work on it sooner if so.

edit: yes, it looks like they made the change in 3.2.4: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2492206

Yes, Imagemagick was removed. Actually, its a bit quick because big pictures are uploaded to the forum.

In the meantime, you can try this extension of mine: https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... umbnailer/ - written because of the removal of imagemagick direct calls. This is just for creating the thumbs.

As an owner of a forum that revolves around members uploaded images, this extension was a total blessing. It would be a wonderful thing If it could be modified to work with 3.2.5.

Yes, it is!

Could I help in anyway to get this working in phpBB 3.2.7?

Hello
I installed your extension. Path to imagemagick i use /home/www/tmp/ and phpbb agree with it.
After upload image filesize is same. No errors and in log I have this

INFO: [2018-10-25 07:52:51am] mastnacek: krmelec_2.jpg
INFO: image filesize too big; resizing.
INFO: /home/www/tmp/mogrify -resize 200x200\> "files/49_c4f852971b5eeba6eab44a7d7efb9c9a"
INFO: resized from 418695 B to 418695 B
INFO: resize execution time: 0.1436550617218s

Where could be a mistake?

sorry for not getting back to you. i'm not really sure, but if you're still interested in troubleshooting (many months later, i know ), i can try to figure it out with you.

thank you so much for your patience.

i've updated the extension (v1.0.4) to work in phpBB v3.2.4+ (tested in phpBB v3.2.7). see the OP.
you must now manually specify the path to ImageMagick in the extension's settings.

paranoid upgrade approach: disable the extension, click 'Delete data', install the new extension files, and enable it

also, i changed the default IM parameters to include -auto-orient.
see https://imagemagick.org/script/command- ... uto-orient
basically, many images (from cell phones) rely on metadata for orientation. unfortunately, most web browsers have not implemented a way to read this metadata and correctly orient images. in my experience, this means that many images on the web look incorrectly rotated. this imagemagick setting fixes the issue. more info on this phenomenon: http://sethfowler.org/blog/2013/09/13/n ... ientation/

i suspected calling exec would cause this to fail validation, but i tried for CDB anyway. it was rejected

i'll change it to use a PHP extension for ImageMagick instead. there are at least a couple -- Imagick and MagickWand. i'm going with Imagick because it seems to be much more actively maintained.

if anyone really wants, maybe i can continue to maintain an unofficial version on github directly using ImageMagick (like how the extension is now).

This extension is working quite well, thanks! I've had to tweak the settings a bit here and there because people upload such big files but I think I have it optimized now?? 900px width/height restriction and 50000 bytes restriction triggers it.

glad it's working for you.

yes, i think my extension defaults are reasonable, but of course tweak them to your liking.

note that the first step to resizing large images is getting the images uploaded to the server in the first place, and there are a few issues that can get in the way of that: your web server configuration, your PHP configuration, and your phpBB configuration. the default configurations for all of those probably prevent users from uploading large files, so they benefit from adjustment. take a careful look at the install notes in the first post if you haven't already

Is this known to work with v3.2.8?

Thanks.
