Thanks Cent!

I've made some basic changes to the upload code so that you can specify what format you want to convert to from the settings file. I've attached the files changed. Doing a diff on them should make it pretty apparent what I changed. The main thing was taking out the switch statement in image_upload_main.php and replacing it with a more efficient if...else.

I had the same problem but changing GD version number didn't work.

I did find, however, that in the "# Check to see if the image needs to be rescaled." section the "newimage" variable is missing part of its string.

I changed:

PHP Code:

$newimage = new thumbnail($destPath.$destFile); 


to

PHP Code:

$newimage = new thumbnail($destPath.$destFile.$tempExt); 


and it works fine now.

Awesome news, thanks.

I wanted to post a resolution to my problem that was solved with Cent's help.

the problem occurred due to my site being hosted on a shared host, and not in the root directory..as a result the code was looking for images in the wrong locations. I had the thumbnail showing up as a black square and the full image would not load because it was calling the root of my host, not my pligg.

The solution is as

in the setting file, I changed the original code to:

PHP Code:

    define('module_imageupload_basedir', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/pliggroot/"); 


and in the thumbs.php file i changed the original code to

PHP Code:

if ($mypliggbase != "")
{
    $mypliggbase = "/home/content/u/s/e/username/html/pliggroot/";
} else {
    $mypliggbase = "/home/content/u/s/e/username/html/pliggroot/";
} 


Hope this helps the community, and thanks to Cent for a great module and his help for helping me debug this

Cent, love your module. You are the man!

If I can make a suggestion for the evolution of this module; perhaps this module could evolve into a video/picture upload module, i.e. U either upload a video or a picture, perhaps even both, truly making it a 'media' upload module.

I realize that we can link externally to videos on other sites using tags, but I feel that if all media upload features are combined into one module, I would enjoy it because my site members would really benefit from it. I'm sure there are others like me....

Thx again for your stellar module....

Hi Aaronpais,

I was thinking at some point to write a video upload module that would convert videos from quicktime, wmv, real, etc. into a common Flash format. Its actually a lot more complicated for most users as it would require an installation of ffmpeg and the ffmpeg-php extension (for thumbnails). You would need to have root access to your site/server via ssh or telnet and I'm not quite sure how possible it might be. I know there are other alternatives to actually uploading video, transcoding them and showing them out there -- but even those require root access.

It wouldn't be too hard to modify the image upload module into a video one (or a combination of the 2). But videos would be in their native format and a file limit imposed (not hard) for uploaded videos. I've already turned the image upload module into an mp3 module using a embeded flash player (similar to word press) and it works reasonably. Though it suffers from the same problems as image upload. So while I update one, I'll update the other. Once I have it working better, I'll release the mp3 module to the community.

Best,
Cent

[boardsource]

like a lot of people, for some reason i cant get this mod to work. my pligg site isnt saved in the root of my site its saved inside of a folder named videos/

ive done everysingle step and my images just dont seem to upload, ive created an image folder in both the root of my site, and in my pligg directory, chmod them to 644, 755 and 777, but nothing works. i dont even care about thumbs, and have thumbnail creation as false, so it cant be my gd version which i have even changed to 1

im completely stuck

If you guys can't get it to work try and download the latest thickbox and imge upload modules from the 9.5 release and use them on your site. I installed it in less than 10 mins for someone using 9.5 and it worked just fine.
