New Module: Image Compressor

[Foaly*]

Hey,

I've developed a new module called Image Compressor. It helps you to compress all images uploaded to CMSms via Image manager without loss of quality to improve website performance. It uses the API Service of Yahoo's Smush.it. No registration needed!

Sounds good, will check this out!

Don't hesitate to post bugs and feature requests

Great module, thanks for sharing.

However, I guess the API-URL should change from

Code: Select all

define('SMUSHIT_API_URL', 'http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/ws.php?img=%s');

to

Code: Select all

define('SMUSHIT_API_URL', 'http://ws1.adq.ac4.yahoo.com/ysmush.it/ws.php?img=%s');

With the latter the module works like a charm, where as it just gives an "invalid URL" error on the first API_URL.

There is also one error in the module:
it can't handle images with blanks in the name.

Best Regards

Hey swgreed,

I changed the API URL, altough the first one works fine for me, because the latter also works fine.

Unfortunately both URLs can't handle spaces or umlauts even if they're encoded (spaces as %20 or +). So I added a warning instead.

Fixes are in git.

Thanks, Foaly*

Hi Foaly,

works great!

However I gotone last feature request:
make the image names clickable or do an image preview. That would enhance the comfort deciding to optimize the image or not.

[Foaly*]

Hey swgreed,

already thought of adding it before the next commit.

That would enhance the comfort deciding to optimize the image or not.

Why wouldn't you optimize an image when it's lossless?

1:0 for you

Prototype version of my javascript doesn't work in Firefox, curious. I don't manage to do away with the issue.

Can anybody please help me with a problem

I have just installed CMSMS on my PC using winamp, which worked fine.

When trying to run image compressor and clicking on the check all link, I get the following error

Code: Select all

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$dest_size in C:\wamp\www\cmsms\modules\ImageCompressor\ImageCompressor.module.php on line 108

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$percent in C:\wamp\www\cmsms\modules\ImageCompressor\ImageCompressor.module.php on line 108

Does anybody have any ideas, google gives me nothing.

Thanks in advance

Richard

hi richard,

if you run it from your local computer, it can't work. imagecompressor uses yahoos service smushit to compress images.

i'll have to implement a better error handling.

[RichardS]

Thanks Foaly

Will just have to use it on the live server once everything is online

thanks for the reply

Sorry for my late reply.

I've just installed the module in to 1.9.4.2. Works fine. If there are no images I get a "No images found". Maybe I can have a look on your installation if the problem persists?

i'm getting "ajax error" in admin panel when trying to compress. it can check savings correctly but cannot compress. not seeing any errors in logs. what should permissions be for image file? any thing else i should verify?
thanks

[Foaly*]

hey cleatus,

are you using an old browser? file perms are checked by the module...

cheers,
