Yes it does work !
Except I forgot a part of cut/paste code, just fixed that on the joomlart post...
Based on Ja_submit 2.1 "Tweaked" , running on Mov'AMP, joomla! 1.0.15
I'm about to publish a Ja_submit 2.2 component "unofficial pack" with 4 images upload, and resize for each image thru admin, and random number before the image...

Thanks

yup
24 Jun 08
Right,
Have installed this version now and it really looks like everything is working perfectly.
Nice Job!
Vida

Oh dear...
Sorry to be picking holes...
But the problem I mentioned before .. about the main content picture not showing when the user supplies a main pic but does not supply an intro pic.... seems to be still there...
Vida
24 Jun 08
oh :(
somehow you change must have been overwritten during my coding.
i have replaced your code & reuploaded the component, and the file is attached for those that do not want to reinstall
p.s
pick holes all you like - we dont get anywhere without knowing there are issues :) [file name=super_submit.zip size=4495]http://www.ninjoomla.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/files/super_submit.zip[/file]

Hi All !
While the reize of a picture is done, it often hasn't got a good looking anymore...
This mambot does the trick, but may be integrated in Super Submit ? (maybe with a radio check into admin with "mosimageresize already installed yes/no to avoid technicals problems ? )
The plugin is available to download here :

Hi crony,
I would agree that the resize does adversly affect the picture.
I think this is because the resize works on two dimensions..both height and width...so it ignores the aspect ratio..
Think better results might be obtained by resizing on one dimension (the largest of width or height) and preserving the aspect ratio...
Not sure if the imagecopyresized function can do aspect ration preservation.. maybe Ritchie can tell us more on that.
Vida
25 Jun 08
Reading around about this I see people saying that imagecopyresampled is better that imagecopyresized..
The php man page for imagecopyresampled gives a code sample for preserving aspect ratio...
http://ie2.php.net/imagecopyresampled
Vida

EDIT : it's written on top of component :
Remember to define all the * fields or the component won't work.
And Heigh and Width got an *:blush:
I have to test on Super Submit, but with Ja_Submit, if you set the Heigh, you'll get NO images at all in articles...
(works fine with just Width...)
:laugh:
25 Jun 08
On prod server I get the image well formated, but on local server I get the size added to the name of the pictures...
So it's not functionning correctly...
My hack must have done something wrong...
Scary...:blink:
25 Jun 08
Ok,
I manged to get a minute there to take a look.
On my server it works fine when I configure to have the height set to blank and the width set to 100... the image ends up 100 pixels wide with the aspect ratio maintained.
I didn't think ninja super submit would be happy if I left either width or height blank but it seems to be just fine with it.
Wouldn't have thought of it if you hadn't suggested it Crony.
So thanks for that!
Vida
25 Jun 08
Ok, just installed RC1 for testing...
Bugs I've found :
1- While uninstalling, table jos_ninja_super_submit_config still into database
2- There is no uploading images functionning with the date ! The file name into the article still the same !
But into the folder "user" I have the image name with for example :Jan0119700234381 before...What kind of date is that ? :cheer:
I think the GLOBALS I've used on Ja_Submit may be in conflict, havn't looked your code yet...
3- Not a bug, a whish : Can't setup only Main text ( as I'm using the intro text just for image, and title...)
4-Question : Is page Sfx the CSS personalised name ?
5- Why are you releasing under CC 3.0 ???? You can't do that !
We were just discussing about a function imageresize stuff...GNU/GPL !
The original component is released under GNU/GPL, the Resize Image Script is Copyrighted by Ryan Stemkoski, but License under GNU General Public License (GPL) , the Security Images or CAPTCHA for Mambo/Joomla script is Copyrighted by Walter Cedric
License: GNU General Public License (GPL)...
PLEASE RELEASE UNDER GNU/GPL !
I'm using as less as possible propriatary softwares as I believe the "Microsoft economic model" as reached his limits...But not the fact that services and support can be paid ( for eating, seems better...)
I think CC licences are for "marketing purposes" (explaining to the masses something that already exists - GNU/GPL - with an other name, and helping lawers to make money:P ) ok, it's usefull for Artists who don't want their Art used for Nike advertisement without being PAID (and not being used...)
I'm just a stupid cut'n'paste non coder that have learned SO MUCH using GNU/GPL as I think I'm just a bit stupidless...
If you really want the CC cool logo, release at least under 2.0 or 2.0 by-sa...
Hope you won't get mad at me, I just don't want to ask anymore if I have the permission to pee to Microsoft or Oracle, or anybody...

first up
thanks for pointing out the image thing, i didnt know it would do that either :D
@bugs,
1. oops forgot to add the drop table - will do so
2. sorry i dont quite understand here - is it or isnt it uploading with the date appended (as it is for me here) - not sure why its giving the date 1970 will take a look
3. wish noted down, not saying you will get it though ;)
4. GNUGPL - it is GNU GPL it says it is, all our code is, the non commercial CC licence is our content - which i can licence how i like as its mine :)

Hopla,
1- cool :)
2-The upload is done, into user folder, the image is there, with the right updated name with the date, BUT, the image into the article is not shown, (square with "image" written in it, while I check the name of the image into the article, still the same as original upload...(no date added...;) )
3-Sure :)
4-(which is 5 as I am a frenetic post editor... ;) )
Sorry, I don't understand, what is the content...The presentation of the component, read me and stuffs like that ?
Of course you do what you want with your code, I was just submiting my point of view...But I must have missed something (again...)...:silly:
26 Jun 08
i totally understand your views on GNU GPL code, i have my own and the subject is far to big to go into here.
i know that i cannot re-licence the component i had no intent on doing so, like i said its one of ninjoomlas goals to turn out only GPL code (if you go back some months, on the front page you will find a post from daniel on the subject)
the content in this instance that is licenced CC Non Commercial refers to pretty much the content in the backend, the usage instructions/descriptions/images ect ect.
27 Jun 08
Hi Crony,
sorry for the delay (i forgot to be honest)
you will notice you have 1 month free silver subscription, hope you enjoy it

14 Jul 08
Just wondering.. this wouldn't be related to the case of the filename would it?
Is the filename mixed case? Like MyPicute.jpg ??
Cos there was a problem with mixed case filenames...

Ok... and what is the link to the picture in the html? (when it just diplays the little box..)

vidapura wrote:

the link is built with the proper filename, like so:
<sitename>/images/stories/users/basho.jpg
but since the filename still has the date/time stamp in it, the result is that box with 'image' where the real image should appear.
so, as i said, everything works other than some routine that should be renaming the file back to proper name.
at least, thats what it looks like to me.
thanks for any assistance. this sure looks like a bug to me?
14 Jul 08
Yup definitely looks to be a bug.
Sorry about that :(
Unfortunately Richie, the lead developer for this extension is on extended leave. Hopefully we can get someone else to fix it some time soon.
14 Jul 08
Hi Marikas,
i was going to try and fix this.
But I went to try and download the latest version (RC1) from the extensions list and despite being a gold member I was asked to pay with paypal...
So think you have a few things to work out with the new site.
If you can email me the source I'll have a look and see if I can fix it.
Vida
14 Jul 08
Hi vidapura,
Sounds great!, any fix would be much appreciated :)
I believe the permissions bug has been fixed and you should be able to download it now. Daniel sorted it out just minutes ago.
14 Jul 08
Yup it looks like you just missed the fix.
If you manage to find a fix V, I will push you up to a Pro as a thanks.
14 Jul 08
Am having a look at the code now...
Really hampered by not having a proper development environment... just trying to read through in textpad.
I asked a question before about what development environment you guys use.. would you be able to enlighten me? It would be great to have some way to step through this in a debugger...
Vida
14 Jul 08
I use Coda (on a mac) I know the Windows guys swear by phpdeveloper though. it has a debugger in it.
14 Jul 08
cool... i'll have a look at that...
Found the problem anyway... just have to decide the best approach to fixin it now.. heh..
Vida
14 Jul 08
Sorry Daniel.. can't find phpdeveloper... where do you get it?
(google is just givin me all sorts of php development sites...)
14 Jul 08
Ahh haa,
thanks
Vida
14 Jul 08
Ok guys,
Have made the fixes. The com_super_submit.zip file is attached.
My changes are marked with "//Vidas Changes" , theres three places that I had to modify.
I've done what testing I can, so if anyone else could please doa bit of testing as well?
HTH

just replaced the modified file and ensured proper permissions.
successfully tested! problem fixed! give that man a lifetime subscription!
:woohoo:
14 Jul 08
Works perfect here too :)
Still have this problem with ratio aspect of images...Even with just Width or Height, get same result...
I'm going to contact the coder of this mambot:
http://www.cijm.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=276&Itemid=145
To let him know that his cool plug seems not working with mosimage...
;)
EDIT : works perfect with mosimage, Ninja Super Submit use a "bad" way to resize
15 Jul 08
love that bot crony!
What was the image ratio problem?
V is now a diamond member thanks for the contribution. btw he has gotten all the way to pro without paying a cent I think. All from contributions. Nice work and thanks.
15 Jul 08
by the way Vida, what files did you change?
15 Jul 08
Hey, Thanks for that Daniel, indeed I haven't paid a cent and am grateful for your generosity. Feel like a bit of a cheapskate, heh heh..
Crony i thought the aspect ration thing was sorted out wasn't it?
Looks like Daniel changed the code he was using for resizing .. so that may have affected things again...
If I get some time today i'll investigate again.. (but my boss is starting to wonder when he's getting the functional spec document I'm supposed to be writing ...)
Vida
15 Jul 08
Oh sorry Daniel,
Didn't spot your question there about what files I changed.
All my changes are in the super_submit.php file only.
Each change is surrounded with a comment block that says:
"//Vidas Changes start here ==========================="
If you wish I can talk you through them?
Vida
15 Jul 08
@resizing problem
That wasn't me who changed anything. I am not actually the SS developer. But Richie is on extended leave right now so I picked up the torch.
@cheapskate
Nothing cheap about helping out. Worth as much as a paid membership without a doubt.
By the way what sort of development experience do you have Vida? Are you able to build an extension from nothing, or can you only work with a prebuilt one and fix/improve it?
15 Jul 08
Oh right, sorry, got mixed up with the names.
In terms of development experience.. well, I'm writing software for about 20 years.
Mainly working in .net c# asp.net etc...
Only started looking at php and stuff when I found that super submit wasn't doing what I needed it to.. so just jumped in and had a run around the code with the php.net website open beside me so I could figure out what $_FILES was etc...
Haven't read the docs on building a joomla module yet.. so I suppose i'm only really able to sort out some problems in existing modules for now...
This is fun though so I might see if I can get time to read the docs .. must see is there a joomla conference near here (ireland) anytime soon...
Vida
PS: would love to have someone tell me how to set up for joomla development with phpdeveloper etc... like can I load the whole site into it etc...
15 Jul 08
Guys,
I'm not sure I have the right version of the css for this component...
My installation of it doesn't look right...
The intro text area is running into the main text area etc...
It definitely doesn't look like it does on the demo.ninjoomla.com
I've attached a picture of what it looks like on my site...
I'm pretty clueless when it comes to css positioning etc...
So I don't know if its the template on my site thats doing this .. or the css that comes with the component.. but the ordinary frontend submit that comes with joomla doesn't have this problem...
Vida. 
15 Jul 08
Hi Vidapura,
Hmmm... sorry you're having trouble with it.
Could you try this:
Backup yourdomain.tld/components/com_ninja_super_submit/css/default_css.css and then replace all the css that's in that file with what's posted below.
Let me know if that helps.
#rules,.adminForm,#contentParams{width:100%;padding-bottom:10px;}
#sectionname,#catidname,#createdbyname,#emailname,#titlename,#image1name,#image2name{width:16%;float:left;height:16px;padding-top:10px;}
#sectionbox,#catidbox,#createdbybox,#emailbox,#titlebox,#image1box,#image2box{width:84%;float:left;padding-top:6px;}
#toolbar{width:42%;position:absolute;left:230px;}
#toolsave{position:absolute;left:210px;}
#toolcancel{position:absolute;left:290px;}
#toolsave img,#toolcancel img{border:none;}
#introtextname,#introtextbox,#maintextname,#maintextbox{width:100%;clear:both;}
#introtextname{}
#introtextbox{}
#maintextname{}
#maintextbox{}
15 Jul 08
Oh god, don't apologise! I'm getting this for free! heh heh...
Its all a bit odd.. firstly the com name in my component listing is com_super_submit which kinda makes me wonder have we got some versioning confusion....
But anyway..
Your new CSS has worked perfectly! Thank you!
I'm using this with the JCE or TinyMCE editors enabled... JCE for me, TinyMCE in basic mode for general non-tecchie users...
I don't suppose there's any way to get rid of the Insert Image and Insert Page Break buttons at all?
Thanks very much for sorting this out so quickly for me...
Vida
16 Jul 08
@Vida & Daniel
The problem is the image resized thru Ninja Submit is not clean.
It seems using only Width or Height does not change anything ( supposed to resize with ratio, and get a clean image, but no...)
I'm not sure if the mosimagesresize applies on images using {mosimage}.
I've contacted the dev who told me that it should work,( mosimage bot AFTER mosimagesresize bot in the list of Bots ) but it's not, as I've tried all different orders, with only using the width or Height (and not both values...)
Not sure how to know for sure that the bot is functionning or not...:silly:
@Vida : setuping phpdev is easy, but you may be more interested with a full Java/C++/php and lots of plugin configuring Eclipse as you whish using this :
http://ondemand.yoxos.com/geteclipse/start
(I actually downloading my "full package" to test if there's Apache/php/mySql as well...)
For phpdevelopment it's quite simple, an apache/php/mysql is running, you create a new php project selecting your folder, (usually into htdocs ), then refresh, you've got everything ready to start !
EDIT : Yoxos is not that easy that phpdev...lol

Hi Vida,
Not possible with TinyMCE, or at least not via the Joomla admin panel, but with JCE you can disable any plugin via admin panel>Components>JCE>Plugin Manager
I normally disable all but the bare minimum (see attached) 
16 Jul 08
Hopla,
Got a feedback from Laurent ( dev of MosImageResize ) , I didn't realize that this bot is creating a copy of the image, put it in cache into :
/mambots/content/imagesresizecache/images_stories_ImageName_150x136_90.jpeg
The new filename ( but the original still in the original foder...)is composed with the full path, the image name, width x height _ the value of jpeg optimized wanted !!!!
So I think it may be very hard to get this bot declared into the config of Ninja Super Submit, as there's an other folder, an other filename, wich can dynamicaly change if you change the value of jpeg optimisation wanted...:huh:
Maybe the solution would be to include the resizing algo from MosImageResize in replacement of the one used actually ?? (and fixing optimisation jpeg on 90, as the image won't be changed after that...)
What do you think ?:)
