uploads/picture.png stored in redis when uploaded, need uploads/picture.png instead

bentael

if you are familiar with the redis-cli syntax, just

# on the command line, just type 
redis-cli
# if not in your PATH, then just cd to, i.e on my mac it's in Downloads so I just
cd ~/Downloads/redis-2.6.16
./src/redis-cli

if you're not, I would install redis-commander it's awesome, once you install it, just run:

# in your terminal
redis-commander

then visit http://localhost:8081/ to view your db

EDIT yup, @trevor beat me to it as i was typing, but anyways, either ways are not a good solution if you want to edit a large number of records

trevor

@bentael We basically posted at the same time and the same thing almost lol.

Also, for editing large number of records, I use redsmin.

bentael

@trevor haha yea, I saw your post popup as i was typing, i was so wired that I still posted it anyways.

redsmin .. hmm .. thanks, I will take a look

@trevor

Also, for editing large number of records, I use redsmin.

redsmin looks awesome! the graphs and stats, but still not sure how to edit large number of records without writing some logic, just like i would do in the redis-cli or a simple node program, am I missing something?

Thanks guys, manually editing the path in redis fix the image display problem. Temporary fix for now

<baris>

I am working on the fix hold tight!

@baris Also when I upload a gif it stores it as a png

<baris>

@danBB There is a setting in admin section to turn images into pngs is that turned on?

danBB

@baris no its unchecked, and its only with gifs.

I also wasnt clear I ment that it uploads it to the directory as a gif but labels it as a png in the path string in redis

<baris>

Is this just for user profile images?

psychobunny

wooops, this is starting to sound like my fault.

edit: if the checkbox is off, this should leave your gifs as is (see my profile pic) - otherwise I guess its a bug

danBB

I think its a bug. Its still actually a gif when i look at it in the uploads folder, but the file path string stored in redis says its a png

Not sure if it resolved the gifs being stored as pngs problem. I couldn't reproduce that on my environment.

This should turn image links into relative links for all uploads (category images, favicon, sitelogo, user profile images).

I also noticed animated gif uploads totally broke. It was working at some point since both I and @psychobunny had animated gifs but if you try to upload an animated gif right now on this forum it won't show up. I figured out it was due to this

im.crop({
	srcPath: uploadPath,
	dstPath: uploadPath,
	width: 128,
	height: 128
}, function (err, stdout, stderr) {
	done(err);
});

After some googling and SO the following seems to work for cropping animated gifs .

im.convert([uploadPath, '-coalesce', '-repage', '0x0', '-crop', '128x128+0+0', '+repage', 'uploadPath'], function(err, stdout) {
	done(err);
});

Let me know if this resolves your issues.

@baris What about the original issue about the path that was stored in redis? its including localhost in the beginning of the path regardless of the image type

<baris>

Yeah that should be fixed with this commit.

Before it was storing http://yourdomain.com:4568/uploads/2-profileimg.png in redis. Now it should store /uploads/2-profileimg.png

danBB

@baris Perfect! Thanks for your help!
