Magento

Most hosting companies set allow_url_fopen to false and for good reason.  Unfortunately this means directResize will not work in a lot of cases.

Either the full file path would need to be in getimagesize (instead of the url) or we need to use curl.  The full path method requires more setup information so I’m not sure if it’s a very good solution. 

One method using the curl library is the following:

Replace

public function directResize($img_min_w, $img_min_h, $ratio=0, $autoriseAgrandissement = false)
{
//--> Recherche des dimentions de l’image d’origine
$size = getimagesize($this);
$img_src_w = $size[0];
$img_src_h = $size[1];

With

public function directResize($img_min_w, $img_min_h, $ratio=0, $autoriseAgrandissement = false)
{
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->__toString());
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
$file_contents = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

if (!is_string($file_contents) || !isset($file_contents[0])) {
return $this->resize($img_min_w, $img_min_h);
}

$image = ImageCreateFromString($file_contents);

$img_src_w = imagesx($image);
$img_src_h = imagesy($image);

where is this function at?

well i found the file to edit: app/code/community/netambition/directresize/helper/image.php

however when i make the suggested changes i get the following error:

line 18 is:

Thank you very much @core, now it works fine
Can the Developer of this extension change his code / fix the bug?

Greetings, darki

Still not working says error on line 11

Instead of passing the getimagesize() function a URL, why not pass it the path to the image?

Please note that this has not been fully tested or verified for all situations but for the category viewing it seems to work for me:

This seems to work for me, at least for the category view pages. My problem was that using Direct Size out of the box on my server was causing slowness. I pinpointed it to be because of the getimagesize() function. By pulling from the local file server versus a URL, it sped my site up dramatically.

Actually I think this is a better idea.  Try to use the real file path in directresize rather than a URL or CURL.
This is a dramatic speed increase.

My site is temporarily within site/ ... so it didn’t work.

This worked for me, getimagesize($cwd . ‘/..’ . $url[’path’])

Will probably remove the ../ when it goes fully into production.
