IFS for Hosting Images

Would it make sense to use iFS to store and serve images that are uploaded
(via browser) by a user and then displayed on a website?
When storing the imgages directly on the disk we run into scalability issues
as well as having to worry about propagating copies of each image to each web server.
Does it make more sense to store the images in iFS or simply in a BLOB (or
whatever) in a normal Oracle table?
Is anyone using iFS for this? Possible pitfalls? Other suggestions?

Well, it runs more resources than the database itself does, since it runs as an external Java application. Check out the Installation Guide for recommended memory and disk for running it on the same machine as the database or on the middle tier.
As Hanne said, it all depends on your priorities. If all you want to do is store and you're an adroit database programmer, you might bypass iFS altogether. If you don't want to do any development to give users the ability to upload, download, and search for images, and you'd rather give them familiar network protocol interfaces like Windows networking and FTP than a custom application, I'd run the file system.

  • I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Hello al!
    I created a website with iWeb but use GoDady for hosting it rather than MobileMe. The images on my Gallery page do not show at all on the external domain but they DO show when seen on MobileMe. Has anyone encountered this problem before? Many thanks!

    Just create a new page (or use the existing photo page) on your external site and use html to add an iframe sized to the page and link it to the mobilme gallery page. Works for me just fine when showing my gallery from a yahoo site.
    like this
    <iframe scrolling="off" allowTransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="yes" style="width:100%;height:100%;border:none" src="http://gallery.me.com/your_account_name"></iframe>

  • Is there a way to host images from an iPad to then post into a forum thread?

    Hi all.
    I have been using Internet forums on my laptop for a few years, and now use my iPad.
    However I cannot post images into a thread using my iPad.
    For example I will take a photo using my iPhone or iPad and I then have to email it to my wife's laptop.
    I then have to host the photo using say photobucket, then paste the IMG code into the thread.
    Then it's back into my iPad to continue the discussion.
    Is there a way or an app out there which can allow you to select images from the library on my iPad for hosting?
    Then generating IMG codes to post in a thread straight from my iPad without having to use a computer?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    There is a PhotoBucket app. Also there are photo apps that will let you edit your photos on your iPad and upload them to some hosting site like photobucket or some other.
    I use PhotoForge2 on my iPad. It provides a variety of sharing methods. Another app that might work for you is PhotoGene.

  • ADD FILES FOR UPLOAD - IMAGE PATHS DO NOT WORK IN WIDGETS

    Hi There
    I'm trying to add my own images to a widget I bought from Qooqee - the Wrapper_v2 image slider. But when I try to add my own images with the image path it doesn't work. I've tried adding the image with 'Add Files for Upload' - and then using the full path which I get from right clicking on it in the assets panel - but it still doesn't work.
    Most of the widgets require you to either specify the image path, or an external URL. I do not want to use a third party image hosting site to get URL's for every image I want to use on the site - so I just need to know what I'm doing wrong with the Add files for Upload - why do my file paths not work in the widgets?

    Provide the name of the program you are using so a Moderator may move this message to the correct program forum
    This Cloud forum is not about help with program problems... a program would be Photoshop or Lighroom or Muse or ???
    Also, you need to ask for help from the widget maker

  • Inserting externally hosted images

    I have limited space on my web site host. Therefore I would like to host images on another site, such as Flickr, and display these images on my web pages. I know how to do this in html but cannot find a way to configure it in iWeb.

    No, the HTML Snippet is for your code. You decide what to do with it.
    For example, you cannot create a shadow, a technique that I use extensively to make images stand out.
    Oh yes, you can. But you have to create your own shadows.
    Otherwise, try this :

  • Corrected coding please for repeating image

          </table>

    I do not want a complete page covered with this design, merely the left-hand border side.
    as mentioned background-repeat:repeat-y; will do just that.
    Some of us, especially in this economic times, cannot afford to spend thousands to have a website created, so we do the best we can.  While I agree tables are difficult for they were indeed designed to place data, and I have eliminated tables where ever I could, this was the only way I could get the result needed.
    agreed times are tough, but seriously working in tables adds more time, more headaches and therefore costs more money.
    Sorry to have bothered you.  Shame Dreamweaver was bought out by Adobe but then, there are other programs; perhaps there forums will have more tolerance for one of us old duffers.
    whats with being all touchy? you asked for "correct coding please for repeating image?"
    and thats what I gave you.
    apart from that I mentioned not to use tables. which is a good thing to take on board.
    for example
    1. Tables are usually more bytes of markup. (Longer to download, and more bytes of traffic for the host.)
    2. Tables usually prevent incremental rendering. (Takes longer for the user to see anything on the page.)
    3. Tables may require you to chop single, logical images into multiple ones. (This makes redesigns total hell, and also increases page load time [more http requests and more total bytes].)
    4. Tables break text copying on some browsers. (That's annoying to the user.)
    5. Tables prevent certain layouts from working within them (like height:100% for child elements of <td>). (They limit what you can actually do in terms of layout.)
    6. Once you know CSS, table-based layouts usually take more time to implement. (A little effort up-front learning CSS pays off heavily in the end.)
    7. Tables are semantically incorrect markup for layout. (They describe the presentation, not the content.)
    8. Tables make life hell for those using screen readers. (Not only do you get the other benefits of CSS, you're also helping out the blind/partially-sighted. This is a Good Thing.)
    9. Tables lock you into the current design and make redesigns MUCH harder than semantic HTML+CSS. (Have you seen CSS Zen Garden?)

  • Is there a website or PDF somewhere which discusses best practices for producing a children's picture book? I am mostly interested in requirements for good image format, resolution, etc.

    Is there a website or PDF somewhere which discusses best practices for producing a children's picture book? I am mostly interested in requirements for good image format, resolution, etc.

    There may be a few links in Apple Support, regarding articles about how to use iBooks Author
    and iBooks Store, etc; these would be separated into two general categories by device used.
    Since there is an iOS and an OS X version of each, you may have to look to see what Apple
    Support says about the one you are interested in; and how far their database goes toward an
    answer to your question. Otherwise, a general search engine approach may be necessary.
    Not sure if anything along the lines of what you seek would be available in an App.
    References to iBooks Author and iBooks Store, etc appear within these two categories in Support:
    For Mac OS X:
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac-apps/
    For iOS:
    http://www.apple.com/support/ios/
    Appears a community host moved your earlier post into one of the iBooks Author or Store sections
    after I'd replied to what otherwise may be a similar post. Not sure if the links to the Discussions area
    of iBooks you are interested in, have similar questions or answers by others who'd visited previously.

    are posted. You can also find them from the main Apple Support Communities page.

  • Adobe Bridge (CS6) - bulk action - JPEG Options must be OKed for every image

    Hi all-
    I created an action script for a watermark in Photoshop CS6. Then, I ran my script as a bulk action in Adobe Bridge (CS6) against my JPEGs. However, the JPEG Options dialog/window appears for every image in PS. Is there a way to have this automatically OK (and at the highest quality) so that I don't have to sit and click OK over and over?
    I am on a Mac btw.
    Thanks!

    Please help

  • Data type for Saving Image in SQL database

    Hi,
        Which is the best way for saving images in the database? Filestream or Varbinary(max)?. Will the Varbinary max comsume much space or it will only take the actual size of the data?

    I've used FILETABLE for storing images in SQL 2012
    You can configure it to have transact and non transact access if you want

  • Is there a way to use a single bitmapdata for multiple images with GPU mode?

    With GPU mode is there a way to bring in a single 1024 X 1024 png containing all my sprites and then slice it up into multiple display objects all refering to the original BitmapData?
    I have an app that runs in GPU mode - but I want to optimize the image management.
    I am making three sets of images in the orders of 2048, 1024 and 512 px.
    The app is a book app and each page has around 4 to 5 bitmaps. I would like to bring in one single image and slice it up - but just refer to the original bitMapData in the memory.
    Is there a way to do this - e.g. using a masking technique?
    I think it is possible using textures in direct mode - but that is not an ideal solution for me - as the app is already in the appstore - and I would have to entirely refactor it for stage3D. Also I use very large bitmaps which have some masking animations applied to them dynamically: http://youtu.be/Nm0T1jLCTz8?t=42s
    Currently, I use jpgs and a jpeg mask file for each image which I composite to get the alpha - then I scale them.
    PNGs may be better for GPU - (no compositing) but they make for a huge app file.
    Now I am converting it to use diffent sized assets depending on the device, then scaling them if need, and then compositing them for apha.  What I was hoping was to find a technique that could reduce the number of bitmapdata objects used and reduce the operations in general. 
    Any thoughts on optimizing would be appreciated.  I can add my code here if it helps.

  • How do use the same crop for multiple images.

    I have a number of images that I want to use the same crop on. Instead of go through the whole slow process for each image is there a way to use the same crop for all of the images?
    And in iPhoto there was a way to copy the adjustment settings to multiple images, I can't see how to do that in aperture.

    Use the "Lift&Stamp" tool:
    Crop one image.
    Lift the crop using the "Lift" tool.
    Select the other images.
    Stamp the crop adjustment to all of them.
    But caution: By default "Lift" will copy all Metadata tags and all adjustments, but the gps data. If you only want to transfer the cropping rectangle, deselect all lifted items but the crop adjustment before stamping.

  • All of a sudden the screen on my iMac 10,1 is too small for the image. Can't figure out how to reduce the size of the Finder or any of the Apps.

    All of a sudden the screen is too small for the image. Hard to explain, but in order to see the entire Finder window, I must scroll the image up/down, left/right.
    It's not just the Finder though, all of the apps are affected this way too.
    It's probably got something to do with the fact that I have an HDMI cable running from the Mac to a Vizio 42" TV. It's been running this way just fine for over two months though.
    Any ideas?

    You probably accidently zoomed the screen.  Hold down CNTL while scrolling down with the mouse or trackpad to unzoom.  Cntl - scroll up to zoom.

  • Creative Cloud Membership has reached its limit for hosted sites

    I have had a paid Adobe Muse Creative Cloud membership for about 2 years now, and only used one website. I understand I can host up to 5. But for some reason when I try to launch a new site, I am told my membership has reached its limit for hosted sites. Can someone please tell me if I have some test pages I'm hosting (or something) and how I can erase them so I can make room for my new site. These are only personal sites so I do not need a business catalyst url for testing. I have the two domains active now and just need to be able to have both go live.
    My email is [email protected]
    The web page I'm trying to launch is www.ninetiesband.com. The only site that should be active right now is www.wearenightsbridge.com.
    Thank you for any help you can provide.
    -Mickey

    Hello Mickey,
    I checked your subscription details, and it looks like you're subscribed to Adobe Muse single app subscription, and not Creative Cloud subscription. When you sign up for Muse single app subscription (yearly), you get one free site to host with Business Catalyst. You only get 5 sites when you have a full Creative cloud subscription.
