The plugin is not exclusive to a bootstrap theme. This check box is used to select whether you want to use the built in buttons and skin or use a bootstrap theme.

The documentation on the diycware.com site describes in detail how to set up the image editor on the product pages.

Next time RTFM before posting a one star review or ask a question in the support section.

The tool is placed in a dialog box so it can be independent of the layout of the theme. To be sure there is enough width to hold the image and the menu bars. With that said, depending on your theme, I could make some changes so the tool will load into your theme directly on the page.

I have used the php imagemagick library in the past, but it doesn’t have all the functionality as the complete tool. But it may work for this application. You are the first person that has had an issue with the exec not working, unless others have had the problem and just gave up. I will look into the php library as an option. I will also add a note in the documentation about exec needing to be turned-on. I am sorry that you had to go through all the trouble. Hopefully we can come up with a solution for you.

Send an email to me at [email protected] so I can keep you up to date if I come up with a working solution for you. Also let me know what type of features you need, just in case I need to cut something out with this other solution.

I will close this case out.

But it does not make sense that you were able to have it work once. If it worked once that means that the file was uploaded, saved to the temp folder and then imagemagick was used to process the image via the command line using exec.

It is possible that the suPHP will work, but I have no experience with it.

Most good hosting companies will allow shell_exec() and exec(). The demo sites for this plugin are on shared servers and they use exec(). When a hosting company says that they don’t allow exec() because of security reason means that they aren’t very good at handling security, so they disable many features.

Imagemagick is a command line tool so you need to be able to access the command line via exec(), shell_exec, or system().

Do they have any suggestions for running Imagemagick without having access to the command line?

The file php/getimage1.php uploads the file, makes a copy of it and uses Imagemagick to make a few different thumbnail versions of the file. The location of the “temp” folder is not relevant as long it is “writable”.

In what directory does you host have imagemagick? The usual location is /usr/bin.

Does the host allow exec() or do they have safe_mode turned-on? This is the method for running command lines in php. Some hosts will place restrictions on this.

If I have the answers to these questions I can further diagnose the problem.

I looked at the site and the image is not created as you mention.

It is strange that you said it works for a little while and then stops.

Are the permissions being reset on the temp folder automatically?

Sometimes there are permissions issue but once the permissions are set to 777, the images are created properly.

What is the url of your site?

There are a few things in the works. There is an image editing plugin that already exists:

https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/diycware-image-editor/

Also I am working on an web to print application that uses SVG. There is a demo of the tool here:

https://diycware.wepds.com/sandbox/demo/design-it

The tool is in the processing of being integrated into WP.

Mark

In the plugin directory there should be a folder diycware-image-editor/diyc-content/temp. Is the “temp” directory there? If not, create and set the permissions to 777.

What is your URL?

Mark

Thanks for the input sweetcoco.

I am working on this plugin on a daily basis. Have some new features coming soon. Instead of using the woocommerce add-ons plugin, the image editor will create a new custom product when the customer saves the image. This will resolve the issue of the ‘Image Details’ problem.

Justin,
I do have a plugin for WP. But I am moving away from the current imagemagick based engine to an SVG based app. The new tool will still have imagemagick in the background for image capabilities, but the processing will be SVG based.

You can email me at markbailly at gmail so we can discuss it more.

Here is the correct link:

https://wpdemo.wepds.com/design-it/

The correct link for the WP Woocommerce demo is:

https://wpdemo.wepds.com/design-it/
Sorry about the incorrect link before.

I do have a module that calculates the price based on color.

With regard to the image upload:
When an image is uploaded the raw full-size image is stored to the server. The raw image is resized to a thumbnail image to be displayed on the designer. Every image is scaled down by the same factor. For example if the image upload scaling is set to 4 (within the tool) and a customer uploads a 1200px x 1200px image it is scaled down to 300px x 300px when it is placed on the designer. If an image is uploaded that is 200px x 200 px it will be scaled to 50px x 50px. If this users stretches the image and makes it larger, they will see that the image starts to distort and become unclear. This is what would happen if the t-shirt printer took that original raw image and tried to increase it to fit the front of a t-shirt. It would become distorted. In this manner, a customer will see that the image distorts and should realize that it is not an appropriate image for a t-shirt. So there is no check of resolution or warning about resolution. But the tool does provide physical feedback as the images are stretched. Of course, image quality on the end product is larger dependent on the ability of the printer. A printer with direct-to-garment printing may have a better time at printing a high quality image on a t-shirt as opposed to someone that does not have a good half-tone process. This was a long winded response, but it should give you a better idea of how the image upload works.
