ImageManger plugin

First of all this plugin is no gallery. It’s a nice way of browsing/selecting images for uploading, including the automated generation of thumbs with links to popupwindow with the large image. The gallery you mention seems to work with a Project Seven extension for Dreamweaver. But as far as I know, this is no gallery but a way to make images visible and swap images.
Damon, when you click the quick img tag, do you get the imagescreen that is supposed to appear? Or just the wordpress popup with only the inputfield “https://….” etc.? Because I can’t get it to work, and if it works this should be the perfect replacement (and even better) for the way Movable Type works when uploading images.
PerS? Is your house painted yet? ??

Where is it creating the thumbnails?
The location given is /images/.thumbs/.imagename.jpg
what does the /. mean? I can’t find any such directory on the site. Is it generating thumbnails on the fly?
btw, thanks for providing a much needed feature.

This is an excellent tool. It works almost out of the box even with the popup.php. They only drawback is, that the expanded (big) images are onyl visible partly. Some parts are hidden and I can’t scroll to see it.
Any idea?

Without wanting to seem stupid, I get the following error in my httpd-log:
PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_start() in /www/htdocs_androczky/blog/wp-content/plugins/ImageManager/configure/sessionvars.php on line 4
What am I missing?? WP is working like a charm otherwise…

Sorry. I had to compile /usr/ports/www/php4-session to have sessions work ?? I wasn’t aware that since I upgraded to 4.10, PHP sessions had disappeared somehow from my setup ?? Weird.

I did get it to work, didnt take much at all. The only problem I am having is figuring out how to make it post the thumbnail and not the full size image in my post. I dont see any of the thumbnails in the window, although they are in the . folder all prefixed with . am i missing somthing? Id really like to use this.

Thob,
Perhaps there is a problem with the padding and margin-settings of the body element in your stylesheet? Do you have a url for me to see so I understand what the problem is? I really want to know how this is working and how you got it working, because I still get the old popup from WP itself.

I found another issue. I’m using the PopUpManager.php. by inserting the code it forgets a slash for the <img src between the images dir and the name of a subdir like /imagesInterviews/
Any idea where I need to add that “/” in that script
Regarding the size of the pop up. I think it depends on the size of the image. Using a smaller one everything is fine.

How did you get it working? Like I said nothing new happens when I click the quick img tag? I don’t get it. Like I said before, everything seems to be present. The plugin is present and activated.
?? I really want this plugin to function ??

I have had all sorts of problems with names that are mixed-case. I’ve gotten it working now, but is there are version somewhere with the mixed-case filenames fixed?

PerS:
The plugins I have loaded are:
– WPPaginate
– DropDownCategories
– and ofcourse your own ??
That’s all.

Ano, Could you explain the mixed-case problem ?
moxie, I’ll take a look at the plugins you’re running and see it they contain any code that confilcts with ImageManager

You should NOT install htmlarea, it will conflict with ImageManager, everything needed is included in the zip.
After you have extracted the zip you should have the following folders:
wp-content
|
+---plugins
|
+---ImageManager
+---assets
+---Classes
+---configure
| +---css
| \---lib
+---img
\---lang
When you try to access it via the img button, do you get a javascript error (in Firefox, check the Tools->Javascript console) ?

moxie, i see the preview of the thumb, it creates a thumnail in the . folder, but it posts the large full size image, i cant see any thumbs in the actual viewer . So basically all im able to get it to do is post a large picture.

damon, you are supposed to see only the preview of the image. when you select it a img tag pointing to the thumbnail will be inserted, something like this:
<img src="https://soderlind.no/images/test/.thumbs/.simen_urban.jpg" alt="simen_urban.jpg" align="baseline" border="0" />
If you only get something like this, you’re not using the ImageManagerPopUp.php:
<img src="https://soderlind.no/images/test/simen_urban.jpg" alt="simen_urban.jpg" align="baseline" width="600" height="800" />
