Auto Image Rotate for iPhone and iPad [Deleted]

[AndyB]

AndyB submitted a new resource:

Auto Image Orientation for iPhone and iPad - Uploaded images from iPhone and iPad will auto orient

This hack will fix the problem when images uploaded from an iPhone or iPad end up in the wrong orientation (sideways).

You must have ImageMagick installed.

library/Xenforo/Upload.php

Line #189

Add hack to auto orient iPhone and iPad images.

$imageInfo = @getimagesize($this->_tempFile);
if (!$imageInfo)
{
    return;
}

// start hack	

exec("/usr/bin/mogrify -auto-orient $this->_tempFile");

// end hack

Ask your web hosting provider to install it on your server. Then enable it in the Admin CP.

Admin CP -> Home -> Options -> Attachments -> Default Image Processor -> ImageMagick PECL Extension

 

[cclaerhout]

May be you should add in the addon presentation that the exec command is probably disabled on most of share hosting plans.

 

[eransss]

i have no way of getting them to install it for me

 

[eransss]

isnt their anyway for me to be able to do it or be able to bypass it?

Also, some better detailed instructions on what to do with that code. Since its all inside the box, some people might not know where or what to copy/paste.

Can this be used if you are using GD but have ImageMagick installed on the server?

Sorry Imagemagick is required.

Is this implemented in 1.2?

Good question

 

[Wildcat Media]

This hack probably needs modification to work in XF 1.2, as the line number now puts it in the middle of an existing function. (I can probably guess where it might go.)

 

[Wildcat Media]

OK, just eyeballing things here, this is where the hack must go in XF 1.2, inserting it around line 204.

        $imageInfo = @getimagesize($this->_tempFile);
        if (!$imageInfo)
        {
            if (in_array($this->_extension, array('gif', 'jpg', 'jpe', 'jpeg', 'png')))
            {
                $this->_errors['extension'] = new XenForo_Phrase('the_uploaded_file_was_not_an_image_as_expected');
            }
            return;
        }

// START HACK
exec("/usr/bin/mogrify -auto-orient $this->_tempFile");
// END HACK

        $imageInfo['width'] = $imageInfo[0];
        $imageInfo['height'] = $imageInfo[1];
        $imageInfo['type'] = $imageInfo[2];

Untested!

For Xenforo version 1.2.

File: library/Xenforo/Upload.php

At line #195

		$imageInfo = @getimagesize($this->_tempFile);
		if (!$imageInfo)
		{
			if (in_array($this->_extension, array('gif', 'jpg', 'jpe', 'jpeg', 'png')))
			{
				$this->_errors['extension'] = new XenForo_Phrase('the_uploaded_file_was_not_an_image_as_expected');
			}
			return;
		}
		
		// start hack	
		
		exec("/usr/bin/mogrify -auto-orient $this->_tempFile");
		
		// end hack

Provided this works on my server, what I might do is write that line as "@exec("/usr/bin.....etc. " so it kills any error message if it fails.

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Let us know how it turns out. This is a major annoyance that I'd like to get fixed.

 

[The Grand Potentate]

Well, apparently, this isn't working.

@AndyB This worked for awhile, what could make it not work suddenly?
