Attach an image?
I'm looking at reusing an old LinkSQL license for a paid directory.

One feature our current directory has, is that it allows users to upload a defined number of images (logo / photo of shop etc).

Is this possible with LinkSQL either using a plugin (looked in the plugins directory and ultranerd) or as a normal feature?

We'd like image resizing options too.

Hi,

You can do file uploading via the built in system - but if you want to re-size them, you would need something like this:

http://www.ultranerds.com/...ns/Thumb_Images_L21/ (uses Image::Magick), or http://www.ultranerds.com/...humb_Images_GD_L222/ (which uses GD to resize the images)

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Thanks Andy, had spent some time looking at your site, but could not find anything that allowed this to be done easily.

Will look at the plugins. I expect to be buying a few of them, if nothing else, to say thanks for the number of useful posts you've made. Every issue I've searched seems to be addressed by you on here. :)

Yeah, Thumb_Images(_GD) makes it a piece of cake Smile

BTW, not sure how many plugins you may want, but if you are looking at quite a few - you may find the ULTRA Package, and ULTRA Package PRO deals quite interesting (the ULTRA Package has 72 plugins, and the PRO has 90 - and these keep rising as I write more plugins Smile)

Andy, I've noticed on your site that some plugins have the 'GD' suffix. What, for example, is the difference between ThumbImages and ThumbImagesGD?

Hi,

Thumb_Images uses Image::Magick, whereas Thumb_Images_GD uses the GD modules (this is more standard on servers, but you still need to make sure Image::Size and Image::Resize are setup)

Andy, I've just installed Thumb_Images_GD and gone through Setup. When I click Read Me or Cleanup it returns an error: Can't locate Image/Resize.pm

Resize.pm isn't in the tar file. (3.2.0)

--------------------------------------------------------------

Edit: Sorted - I've loaded it manually. :)

Hi,

You need Image::Resize on your server (its a perl module , that wrap around GD - http://search.cpan.org/...dr/Image-Resize-0.5/)

Also, while there - make sure you have the GD perl modules install + Image::Size, as those are both required too.

Cheers
