[Plugin: AutoNav Graphical Navigation and Gallery Plugin] Can't display images from S3

  • I’m using an S3 plugin to shift my media off of my hosted domain and into an S3 bucket. However, autonav doesn’t appear to display the thumbnails when my featured images are in S3. It writes the html with nothing in “img src=””… It should be noted that despite the images being in S3, they show up correctly in my media browser, with the correct links. All file and bucket permissions are correct.

    The default WordPress featured images functionality in 3.0 works absolutely fine with my media being in an S3 bucket.

    Any ideas? Example is here:

    AutoNav assumes that images are in a locally accessible, write-enabled directory structure, and it uses standard file I/O to read and write those files. Which plugin are you using for S3? It is not clear to me whether or how AutoNav could read from image files that need to be retrieved through HTTP, or how it might create thumbnail files that “live” on another system…? Indeed, I do not know how S3 works, a pointer to the plugin might help.

    Thanks wlindley – I’m using the Amazon S3 for WordPress plugin.

    I see what is happening. The plugin is hooking into WordPress’s attachment update. However, AutoNav creates many additional thumbnail image files that WordPress doesn’t know about, and has no way of handling. The S3 plugin, of course, doesn’t know about and has no way of handling AutoNav’s thumbnails either. Nor does the S3 Plugin offer any way of getting a “directory listing” of files you have stored on S3, and AutoNav needs one. I do not see any easy way of making AutoNav work with S3. Contact me at [email protected] as it’s not “impossible,” just not “easy.”

    Aha! I can see how to make this work now, using the Attachments system. Not too difficult, but it requires a little reorganization.

    Anyone willing to fund a few hours of code time?
