PHP resizing images

[jozza800]

I have an external PHP file that runs an image resizing script. The script works perfectly well outside of actinic but as soon as I try to incorperate it within Actinic it doesnt seem to execute.

The original line within the wqorking test html is -

<img src="thumb.php?src=/image/1151.jpg&w=103&h=200&zc=0" alt="" />

Putting it into actinic I have changed it to -

<img src="thumb.php?src=<actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" />&w=103&h=200&zc=0" alt="<actinic:variable name="ProductName" />" />

Then when uploaded it produces -

<img src="thumb.php?src=images\products\1850.jpg&w=103&h=200&zc=0" alt="B-Gluco Balance x 90 Caps" />

Which is right other than the slashes being the wrong way, it hasnt been converted into a web path.

Anybody know what the problem is.

I have had a look at the image resizing method in KB but he results arent as sharp and it produces extra files.

Try replacing:

<actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" />

with

<actinic:block php="true">echo basename('<actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />');</actinic:block>

Thanks it works!

I just have one small issue. The index.htm/Home Page file sits on its own outside the catalog folder. When the script is ran on the index file the paths are wrong.

Is there anything i can do. The only thing i can think of is to duplicate all of the images so that they are on the same level as the index.htm. But this obviously defeats the point of having a resize script that doesnt duplicate the file.

Add a blockif to the above code testing IsBrochureHomePage and add in the relative path on just that page.
