CGSmartImage used inside a custom module to generate images

[Eric Pesser]

Hi,

For one of my customers, I have to print a custom module data list as a PDF.

As on webpage I use CGSmartImage, I would like to use it in my PHP code to generate better images for this (FPDF) output.

Is it possible? Does someone already did it?

Cheers,

Eric

You could probably do something like:

Code: Select all

$mod = cms_utils::get_module('CGSmartImage'); // make sure the module is loaded
// build an array of params, same as the tag accepts
$params['src'] = '/path/relative/to/root/something.jpg';
$params['width'] = 100;
$params['height'] = 100;
$output = $mod->DoAction('xx','default',$returnid);  // returnid can be any valid page id.
echo $output;

edit: came up with a better idea.

Thank you very much!

That helped me a lot.

Now I get an issue (not linked to this) because FPDF seems not to accept .img extension but it's another story.

Thanks again Robert.

Ok solved...

As I only manage jpg or png files, I found this solution :

Code: Select all

	function ResizeImage($id, $pdfDirectory, $file, $width, $height)
	{
		$mod = cms_utils::get_module('CGSmartImage'); // make sure the module is loaded
		// build an array of params, same as the tag accepts
		$params['src'] = $file;
		$params['width'] = $width;
		$params['height'] = $height;
		$params['notag'] = 1;
		$params['noembed'] = 1;
		
		$outp = cgsi_utils::process_image($params);

		if( isset($outp['error']) && $outp['error'] != '')
		{
			// TODO: Manage error
			return;
		}

		$image = $outp['output'];
		
		// FPDF needs jpg, png or even gif, no img file so we copy img file content inside a new file with the original extension
		$dir = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_DIRNAME);
		$filename = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
		$ext = pathinfo($file, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
		
		$newimage = $pdfDirectory.$filename.'.'.$ext;
		
		copy($image, $newimage);
	
		return $newimage;  // returnid can be any valid page id.
	}

So I generate a new image using CGSI, then I copy this image and put the new image the original extension.

I don't know if it's the best solution, but it's works very well.

Then FPDF is finally happy, and me too .
