Restrict image pixel size in multiple image upload

Re: Multiple Image Upload behaviour.
One of the only issues I have with this extension is if users try to upload an image within the limits I set (of 250Kb) but with a high pixel count.
For example, a jpg of 800 x 600 at 200Kb causes no problem, but a one of 2000 pixels at 150Kb probably will.
I understand that there is probably more server load to resize a large pixel image, so is there a way to check the pixel size of images to be uploaded as well as the file size and reject it if it is too large?

But what you could do, is retrieving the php.ini´s "post_max_size" value and display a note to your site visitors:
<br />
<br />
<b>1.</b> put this into the doc´s head:
<br />
<br /><?php<br />$replace_max_size_MB = str_replace("M"," MB",ini_get('post_max_size'));<br />?>
<br />
<br />
<b>2.</b> the related message:
<br />
<br />Pics larger than <?php echo $replace_max_size_MB; ?> will be rejected by the server

  • Is there a way to reduce the pixel size of multiple photos in a slideshow?

    I have a Windows 7 computer and use Photoshop Elements 9 and Premiere Elements 9.  I recently completed a slideshow that contains about 360 photos, many or all of which exceed the maximum size of 1000 x 750 pixels.  Is there any way that I can easily reduce the pixel size of each of the photos?  If upgrading to the most recent versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements would help me accomplish this I would be willing to do this.  Thanks very much in advance for any advice or suggestions.

    You can batch process your images to re-size them in the editor using the menu:
    File >> Process Multiple Files
    Place your chosen photos in a separate folder and then choose a separate destination folder; so as not to overwrite the originals.

  • Reducing pixel size of saved photos

    I'm very new to my iMac. I've saved several dozen photos in iPhoto and just tried to upload one of them to a boating website. It was apparently too 'big' in that it had too many pixels. My question: How do I copy a photo in a reduced pixel 'size' so I can upload it to a website with a pixel limit? Thx,
    Tony

    You would probably have to crop the photo to the correct ratio first
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=165597
    After the photo is cropped, then you would follow the directions above to export it.
    Put the length and height in pixels in the appropriate boxes and export to the desktop.
    If you need more help then give more info on the exact size of the photo you need exported.

  • Custom Thumbnail Size(px) w/ADDT Multiple Image Uploader

    The standard thumbnail size that the Multiple Image Uploader generates is 150px x 100px
    I would like to know if there is any way to change that to 350 x 300?
    I am refering to the thumbnail that is generated and put into the
    thumbnails folder, not the thumbnail for the uploader itself :)
    Thank You!

    Hi Jason,
    this particular thumbnail size appears to be defined in the file "includes/tng/triggers/tNG_MImageUpload.class.php" -- here´s a function named "tNG_MImageUpload" with the following line:
    $this->showThumbnail(150,100,true);
    Guess you´ll have to change the thumbnail width-X-height values in here.

  • Multiple image upload CRASH!!! but works with simple image upload

    I'm getting MAD.
    I'm using php and GD
    While the simple image and re size works like a charm, the multiple image upload or the multiple file upload have a strange behavior.
    It opens the pop-up with flash, then eventually shows me files or thumbnails but when I try to up load I just wait and get the typical "system becoming unstable" flash error.
    As I can see the directory is always generated (I've tried also to put a static directory) but after stargin the upload the flash uploader just crashes and no result.
    Any help would be really appreciated

    Hi Fonzie,
    as the folder is getting created, the issue you´re having is not related to wrong folder permission - it´s something else...
    As I wrote before, che common upload and resize function works perfectly
    this one works perfectly, because it´s just one file to upload and to process, wheras doing that with multiple files might collide with some settings on your server
    So for sure it's not a simple issue as the max filesize
    Are you sure ? Did you check the current "max_upload_filesize" setting ? As long you don´t check it, you can´t know :-)
    As a general rule of thumb, it´s important to be aware of the fact that uploading & resizing images on the server might collide with several PHP settings -- and the more images you upload and resize in one swoop, the closer you´re getting to these limits respectively might even be exceeding them. The following "directives" are those which have an effect on whether your image/file upload & processing will work or not:
    - "max_upload_filesize" :: is sometimes set to just 8 MB on a shared hosting, sometimes 16 MB, sometimes more. This setting will affect the file upload procedure only
    - "set_time_limit" (e.g. 30 seconds) :: if the execution time of a script exceeds this limit for whatever reason, the server simply shuts it down without letting you (respectively the flash uploader) know it´s been shut down. This *might* be the reason why ADDT´s flash uploader hangs respectively returns that error message after some time, because it´s waiting for some response from the server which never comes.
    - "memory_limit" (e.g. 8 MB) :: this directive is a sort of "allocated server RAM" for your account, and it´s in particular the image resizing process which will grab more or less memory resources -- the higher the the resizing factor is, the more RAM is spent, and the more images are getting resized in one swoop, the worser it gets.
    However, all these PHP directives can be changed, and your host might even be so courteous to increase the currently defined values of those abovementioned directives for you -- and that´s what I´m suggesting at this point.
    Cheers

  • Cropping images to exact pixel sizes

    I'm a Photoshop user but being a recent Mac convert I'm having a go with the Aperture 2 trial.
    I'm a bit confused about how to crop an image to an exact pixel size. I've watched the video tutorial several times over but I still can't achieve what I want. So ...
    * My original image is 2816 x 2112
    * I select a 4 x 3 aspect ratio using the Crop HUD
    * I pull the rectangular box out to take in the section of the image I want to crop out of the original
    * I want a finished image of 500 x 400 pixels
    * I go to the Crop field in the Adjustments tab and change Width to 500 and the Height to 400
    * The crop area on the image ends up as a small box in the bottom left hand corner and when I hit Return, all I end up with is that area of the image inside the box when what I want is the originally selected crop area but at 500 x 400 pixels
    * If I stretch the rectangular box out to cover the original area, the pixel dimensions go up again beyond 500 x 400
    Which part of the process am I missing?
    Thanks for anyone's advice,
    Mark

    What you type in that box is just the ratio not the actual pixel number. And the box does not like to many digits in there. A ratio of 4 x 5 would work perfectly fine in your case, but more complicated ratios like 21 x 50 don't work.
    To get 500 x 400 px you must then export your image with settings that restrict your image, eg, to fit into a 500 x 500 px box.
    The idea behind this two-step approach is that you might think of 500 x 400 px output right now, but by doing the actual pixel generation at a later point, you can always easily export later at 1000 x 800 px if you need a higher resolution version with the same aspect ratio.

  • Multiple Image Uploading Question

    Please forgive my ignorance here but I saw the question on multiple image uploading and this is something i have been trying to do for a few days now without any success.
    I am using CS3 with ADDT and PHP
    I want to allow my users to be able to upload say 5 pictures at a time, each user has multiple photo albums the names of which are stored in mysql table, the image name is stored in a different table with a reference to the album id.
    So, I assume that i put an insert record on the page, I followed the usual process used to have a single image upload and thought it would give me or add the extra file field options on the form when telling the multi upload to allow 5 images to be uploaded, not the case. Do i have to create a form on the page first with 5 file fields or am i just missing the plot here.
    Sorry if this is just something that seems simple but i just don't seem to be able to get it to work at all. I have no working example to look over and have serach google to see if there are any tutorials for doing this but can't find any at all.
    Thank you in advance of any help and guidance given
    Regards
    Ray

    Hi Günter
    Thank you for your reply and also for the great tutorial site you run which has helped me quite a lot with several things.
    ok, so i am maybe a little confused here, so what is the multiple image uploader for if not for uploading multiple images, and how does it give you the option to select more than one file or is it that you can't use it when inserting the image file into a database?
    Please forgive my ignornace again, i can see when i have tried using the multiple image upload thatit puts a text link called upload, what is that for because it doesn't seem to do anything on the page i have tried it on?
    Kind Regards
    Ray

  • How can you find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas

    This is probably a really really simple question but I can't for the life of me find how I can find out an individual image size from multiple images on a canvas. eg I have 3 photos i want to arrange 1 large and the other two next to it half the size. How can I edit individual image size on the canvas as when I select the image on a sperate layer I want to resize it just resizes the entire canvas and not the individual image
    Thanks

    I want to know they exact dimensions though. You can get them by dragging to the 0,0 corner and then reading off of the ruler scale on the sides but its fiddily as you have to zoom right in and work it out. I know in photoshop there is a ruler but is there any other way in Elements?

  • Can you move a 'Multiple Image Upload' button  into the 'Update Form'?

    I am able to creat and an Update form and an image upload using the "Update Form Wizard" tool and the "Multiple Image Upload" tool succesfully.
    <br />
    <br />The problem comes when I try to move the "UPLOAD" button inside the Update form. Right now it looks like this:

    <br />thanks for your help.

    A control can only appear once in the visual tree. So you have to remove it from the Grid before you can add it to the DockPanel.
    This code will move the Border element from the Grid to the DockPanel when you click the button:
    Private Sub Button_Click(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim border = CType(LayoutRoot.FindName("myborder"), Border)
    LayoutRoot.Children.Remove(border)
    contain.Children.Add(border)
    End Sub
    <StackPanel>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot">
    <Border x:Name="myborder" BorderBrush="Black" BorderThickness="2">
    <TextBlock>...</TextBlock>
    </Border>
    </Grid>
    <DockPanel x:Name="contain" Background="Yellow">
    <TextBlock>2</TextBlock>
    </DockPanel>
    <Button Click="Button_Click" Content="Move"/>
    </StackPanel>
    You can try it for yourself. But please post your code as formatted text and not as embedded images if you want anyone to be able to reproduce your issue and help you in the future.

  • ADDT multiple image upload: "error 500"

    Right now, I have managed to get the update record form wizard working, the right input ends up in the correct fields in the database.
    So I'm left fighting with the "multiple image upload", which gives me an "error 500" message (error connecting to server)
    The window does show me the correct files in the correct folder, but when I try and upload an image I always get the error 500 message.
    I have read that the "multiple file upload" uses a temporary folder, and Im assuming that the "multiple image upload" does the same, and I suppose that I should CHMOD that folder to 777.
    Do you know where I can find that folder?
    Can anyone help me with that error?
    Please?
    Sorry about my name, I tried a lot of other names, and all were taken, but this random name went just fine

    I thought it did - When I used the upload and save to database it saved the original images in a folder and created a sub folder called "thumbnails" and saved the thumbnails - origianl filesname just with width and height appended at the end.
    I checked my server files and their definately created.
    I browsed the java script and the help files which mentions it does this but I would like to be able to change the naming format of the thumbanils if possible

  • Multiple Image Upload Wizard Not Creating A Form

    I'm working on a new site and I keep running the multiple image upload wizard.
    It connects to the database fine, gets the primary key and all that. It sees the two columns that should be included in the form field in addition to the image_url field.
    When I hit finish on the wizard all the proper code seems to be created except the form. The upload button is the only user interface element created.
    Anybody got ideas on what is causing this? I've used this wizard on other projects sucessfuly, but I can't figure out what I'm doing differently here.
    thanks,
    - Tanner

    I believe you have to create the form first with some File Upload fields then run the Wizard.

  • Multiple image upload with save to database problem

    I am developing some backend work for a client, and we recently used the Multiple image upload with save to database wizard without a problem. A few days later, we noticed that we could only upload a single file at a time - it seems that the coding is no longer able to access the flash part of this and is using the javasript function instead. I know the web hosting company has made some changes on the server, and I did some reearch and it seems that  there could be an issue with Flash 10, but has anyone else experienced anything like this? Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Jeremy

    Thank you for the responses. I have already updated awhile ago, so I am wondering what happened. Not sure if during the server update, some files were replaced (unless I totally forgot to update to 1.0.1 on this site). So I reinstalled 1.0.1, deleted the includes folder from the server and uploaded my includes folder and it now works again.
    Again, thanks for the help.

  • Multiple image uploads on a single page

    Hi
    I've created a small cms page where a user can upload images to specific image containers. Unfortunately the multiple image upload with db wizard won't allow more that one occurence per page.
    Any ideas to work around this will be greatly appreciated

    Hi Vito,
    kudos for finding this interesting solution, and thanks for sharing !
    i think that this issue is something the developers at Adobe need to look into
    I don´t think they would have to make their mind up about rather special scenarios like this one -- that´s what I´d call "custom development", what you´ll always stumble across sooner or later. No "tool" on earth will ever be able to cover each and every scenario...

  • Multiple Image Upload with Save to DB - any help would be appreciated

    Hi - I'm running into the following issue when using the Multiple Image Upload with Save to DB behaviour.
    When I click the link to upload multiple files, I am given the list of local files to choose to upload. No problem here - I can select multiple files.
    When i select choose, the uploader shows the progress but hangs at 0%
    However (if I cancel the uploads), the first image of the group is uploaded and it's corresponding database entry is entered correctly.
    Anyone else have this hangup? If so how did you get around it?
    Thanks!
    Dan

    Just thought I would update.
    The problem seems to be related to redirecting.
    I had specified a redirect page, which of course stops the flash file from continuing to upload images after the first one.
    Anyone know how to change this so when the flash uploader finished it goes back to a list page?
    Thanks again.
