So I love this plugin, but I'm having some issues.

My current issue is with it not finding ImageMagick. When it goes to post photos, I get an error message that starts with:

Failed:
phpThumb() v1.7.9-200805132119

All attempts to create GD image source failed.
ImageMagick is not installed (it is highly recommended that you install it).
Source image is too large (2592x3872 = 10.0Mpx, max=13.4Mpx) for GD creation (either install ImageMagick or increase PHP memory_limit to at least 65M).

I had set up my wordpress account in a subdomain of another site I had, and everything was working great. It was my demo site to convince the guys I work with that it was what we needed. I then went ahead and got us our own domain, and when I copied everything over, I started having issues.

So it's not finding imagemagick. I'm on a GoDaddy linux server, and according to their documentation, ImageMagick should be there.

All of our Linux hosting plans include ImageMagick. The convert path to ImageMagick, version 5 on our servers is:

/usr/bin/
The convert path to ImageMagick, version 6 on our servers is:

/usr/local/bin/

And from what I can see in the Further Options settings, that should work just fine. The only thing I can think of, is that on this site, I've got wordpress installed into the root directory... Can that be causing an issue?

Another problem that isn't halting the development of the site, but is a bit obnoxious, is whenever I change a setting that would involve editing the photos, like change the size of the thumbnails for example, I get error messages with editing photos that I had set up on the previous site.

Post "July 18, 2009 - Playoff's Pub": The photo "090718Playoffs.jpg" could not be found at "/home/content/j/u/s/justinmikehunt/html/spectrumtheory/wp-content/original/2010_02/090718Playoffs.jpg".

justinmikehunt was account info on the previous site, and not on this one. I tried deleting all the pictures to start fresh, but it still has these paths stored in a file somewhere, and I can't find where.

I'm using the latest versions of Wordpress (2.9.1) and PhotoQ (1.8.3)

Thanks a lot for any help.

hi,

1) the path to imagemagick must be the full path, i.e, /usr/bin/convert (including the name of the executable). maybe this is the problem?

2) your second problem is most likely do to the different paths on the different installs. see also this post: http://www.whoismanu.com/forum/topic/thumbs-and-rebuilt-link-broken-due-to-server-move#post-582
if you don't care about these pictures and associated posts anymore on the new server you should also be able to get rid of this error message by deleting the corresponding posts. in this case you obviously don't have to touch the database.

I've tried that as the path (and that's also the default, is it not?).

When I had it set up on the first account, which was an identical godaddy account, I never set anything up with imagemagick, it just worked. It wasn't until I moved to the new server that I started getting this issue, and had to look into what it actually was. So I don't see why it wouldn't work on this account.

Also, how can I tell what the path is currently set to? Whenever I change it, and then come back, the field to change it is blank. So I don't know if there's somewhere that I can confirm what the path is set to, but so far, I haven't found it.

As far as the other problem, I've already deleted the posts, and I still get the error. Where in the database can I go to delete the entries for the posts so photoq isn't looking for them?

Thanks

Also, I should mention I tried uninstalling photoq, then reinstalling and starting fresh, but it seems that somewhere, a settings file is not getting deleted, as all my custom settings are reloaded when I install it.

Well color me embarrassed as far as the second problem. I thought I'd deleted those other posts, but I'd only moved them to the trash! So now I've deleted them, and I'm not getting that error.

But ImageMagick still isn't working for me. To deal with it for now, I've just been resizing my original files to something smaller so that it can process them, but eventually I'd like to figure it out!

looks like this is the problem then

is that the only setting that doesn't get changed once you press the save button?

i am having an important deadline at the end of next week and i am really sorry for the lousy support during the last few weeks.

until the situation improves, here is already what i can tell you: the photoq options are written to the wordpress options database table. the corresponding entry has the name wimpq_options and contains an associative array. The imagemagick path should show up as an array entry with key name imagemagickPath.

alright, finally found the time to look at this. definitely a bug, i messed this up when introducing the wpmu support.

could you try to replace the file photoq-photoblog-plugin/lib/ReusableOptions/UpdateOptionVisitor.php

with the following patch

please tell me whether this solves the problem with the imagemagick path. thanks. and sorry that it took so long to get this fixed.
