One reason Plogger rules is because it is not bloatware, so I'm hesitant to mention this. But. It's the only lacking feature that has me saying "Oh, bummer." Has anyone given their Plogger installation the ability to rotate images and/or thumbnails after the images are uploaded? I mean, just in 90 degree increments.
checking out the php manual or googling what you're looking for is always a good place to start.
as it seems there is a built-in Image Rotate Function in php if you have the GD module installed (which you should if you are using plogger to begin with).
Looks pretty simple, pass the filename and the degrees you want to rotate.
It also looks like someone has written an image_rotate($degrees) function that you could use (if you scroll down to the comments section).
give it a try and let us know what you did so future users can find this post.
I made this patch above but it looks like it is not self-implementing; that is, i made the change to phpthumb.class.php and there are no apparent changes to the way plogger operates. What additional changes are required to be able to use the rotate function?
MikeBC - did you ever find a solution? I'm seeing the same issue you did; I cannot get the rotate function patch outlined above to work during Import operations.
