Smarty resized_image plugin: update

OK, updated again, but not perfect yet.

new version here:

http://www.isegura.es/blog/impresscms-can-resize-images-automatically-template

It will work properly on full URLs (http:// and all that), but I'm not sure it will work fine if the whole site is in a subfolder, such as "www.mysite.com/folder".

This smarty plugin is very interesting. Would there be a way of having it standard in templates, to be used when an image is included somewhere?

For example, on the Wiki I want to be able include images. When the image is small enough, nothing is changed. When the image is too big to fit in the screen space allocated (the center column for example), a resized images is displayed, with a link (with or without colorbox) to the big original.

Is that possible, or would the plugin need to be changed?

can't answer your question David, but i can confirm the edits i made to the plugin in the 1.3.3 core allow this plugin to work if your site is in a sub folder.

As it stands, the plugin resizes images to a specified size, whatever it may be. If you wanted to add conditions for resizing, you would need to add the logic to your code. However, the resized copies are cached, so there is not much overhead in the way it currently operates.

One way to get multiple resizing is to set up module preferences to handle display in different contexts (eg. centre, side column). Then you can specify which size you want the image to display at in your template, and change them module-wide by altering the value in your preferences. Most of the gone native modules work that way now.

I think @Madfish is right and the latest revision for the next version (1.3.3) works very well.

fiammybe, I think it's related to PHP-GD lib. From the code what I see it's only possible to get empty response if resizing image or getting image info fails. Can it be that PHP-GD is missing on server? Also, it's possible that WideImage fails. idk, why there is methods in the code from GD lib and WideImage...

It needs to write thumbnails to cache or templates_c, I forget which. So another possibility is if those aren't writable for some reason it will crash out.
