General Support: relative path to intermediate thumbs' jpg file

Hi All,

First of all thank you very much for this excellent system...

Im trying to xmlout my albums for use with a flashfrontend, wich works very nice allready.
However I'm having some problems with domainnames spelled with and without the www (www.mysite.com / mysite.com) - as it seems to crash the relative path im using in flash.

I think the problem lies in that i use the plog-thumb.php to return the thumb, and if the returned path to the jpg is with the www - the flashsandboxing wont let flash load the image if the path to the swf is without the www.

So the short question is (thankyou for your patience):
Is there a way for me to retrieve the relative path to the intermediate thumb?.

If anyone can shed some light on this I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks

Memic.a, thank you for your answer.

I've allready tried that without luck. In my post I forgot to say that im working in a modified version of the plog-xml.php (wich works in another loop, on wich the plogger_get_picture_thumb relies)(I think).

Btw. I've also tried the THUMB_SMALL option - also with no luck, in both cases the returned value == ""

I've added my code around line 260 in the loop:


foreach ($pictures as $picture){
if ((isset($_GET["album_id"]) && ($_GET["album_id"] == $picture["parent_album"])) || !isset($_GET["album_id"])){
if ((isset($_GET["pictures"]) && ($_GET["pictures"] == 1)) ||
(isset($_GET["picture_id"]) && ($_GET["picture_id"] == $picture["id"]))){
if ($limitType == 'pictures'){
if ($total == $limit){
break;
}

$total++;
}

$picture["sm_thumb_path"] = 'plog-thumb.php?id='.$picture["id"];
$picture["lg_thumb_path"] = 'plog-thumb.php?id='.$picture["id"].'&type=2';
//this is where i try to get the large thumbpath...
$picture["relPathLargeThumb"] = plogger_get_picture_thumb(THUMB_LARGE);


$xml .= '<picture';
...


anyway any suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks

Hmmm Sorry no luck I cant make it work.

But I noticed something funny:

if i call

http://xxxx.xx/plogger/plog-thumb.php?id=5&type=2 (wich should give me the thumb i want)(notice its without the www)

I get this returned:

http://www.xxxx.xx/plogger/thumbs/lrg-5-stockvault_8593_20071011.jpg (notice the www is added)

The addition of the www, triggers flash's sandboxsecuritysystem (or something) wich wont let the swf file at the domain without the www, load
images from the (same) domain with the www.

So if there is a way to have plog-thumb.php return the filestring prefixed with the config['baseurl'] instead of the config['galleryurl'] - I think that will solve my problem.

Anyways, Im by no means a php/ploggerexpert so any input are very welcome.

Thanks.

Sidtheduck,

Thank you for your answer..

Unfortunately, removing the www from the galleryurl under the options tab just reverses my problem.
And flash still thinks it's on another domain than the domain holding the images.

The problem originates from the fact that some users type www.xxxx.xx in the address where other users type xxxx.xx (without the www).
Therefore I would actually prefer the returned url from plog-thumb.php (or other way of retrieving the path) to be transitive.

Another solution to my problem could also be a the path to the thumb from the site root (I just cant find a way to produce this, again im seriously lacking phpskills).


Thanks.

Sidtheduck,

Thankyou very much for your code, to start out with it wouldnt work. But somehow Ive managed to tweak it so it worked.

Here the tweaked version is, just in case someone else needs it:


$path = generate_thumb($thumb["path"], $thumb["id"], $thumb["type"]);
// make sure the generated url and the browser url have the same domain syntax
$browser_www = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], 'www');
$thumb_www = strpos($path, 'www');
if ($browser_www !== $thumb_www) {
if ($browser_www === false) {
$path = str_replace('www.', '', $path);
} else {
$path = str_replace('//', '//', $path);
}
}
//echo "<script>alert('$path');</script>";
header("Location: ".$path);




Thanks again....:-)

Sidtheduck,

I think you are right....

I seems my hack prefixes with www even though the url is without.

Your revised code, however works perfect....Thanks :-)
