Good morning, afternoon, evening folks, I have this problem where a user is uploading LARGE images to my database for use in my news page. I cannot tell this person to stop. So, I implemented a solution today that when they do so, it sends me a message and scales it in html until I can get to it and resize it myself. I posted here about it, so this may be a bit of a repeat.
Unfortunately, the solution makes the page take alot longer to load. It's gone from 12 seconds to 75 seconds (ugh!). Clearly the solution wasn't meant to check alot of images on a page and since it's our news archives, there are alot of images. I'd like to crop the images when they're uploaded and avoid all of this. I remember that being a problem (when I used a CFC) though and I'm looking for confirmation. I am on CF7 (and shared hosting) and I think the issue is that if when CF is installed and if it's on a headless server (aren't they all?), then the java libraries for image editing/adjustment aren't installed. Does anyone know if I have that right or if I'm off-base and I actually can use this as a solution? Is this also a problem in CF8, which we'll go to in a few months? Is there a line of code I can use to test this? I don't have alot of experience with CFCs and my previous problems with image editing with the CFC could have to do with that. I just want to scale images properly and save them, on upload. thanks for listening. -- Daniel Kessler University of Maryland College Park School of Public Health 3302E HHP Building College Park, MD 20742-2611 Phone: 301-405-2545 http://sph.umd.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:305404 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
