Module: tiffupload - Upload TIFF images (with revision support)

Hi All,
I developed a module to upload TIFF files.
It is derived from rawphoto, so credits to the author Chadparry

The module will allow you to upload TIFF images like normal photo.
The image is converted in JPEG for thumbnailing and preview. The original file is saved and you can download it from the menu "Photo Options -> Download original TIFF"

At the moment it works only with ImageMagick

The module is in very alpha stage, so use it carefully and at you own risk for testing only.
Thanks to user nerve2 the module is in beta stage.

Any help for debugging and improving is appreciated

CHANGELOG
2013-08-30 V4.3 Bug fix in the update event

DOWNLOAD

* Latest V4.3
* V4.2

I agree with you xarope.
At the moment I have ImageMagick in production, so I don't need a porting, but maybe others do.
Anyway, the porting should be quite simple, just as adding a block of code here

     switch ($toolkit_id) {
        case 'imagemagick':
          $cmd = escapeshellcmd("$toolkit_path/convert");
          //$cmd .= " -quality " . escapeshellarg($image_quality . "%");
          $cmd .= " ".escapeshellarg($input_file) ." " . escapeshellarg($output_file);
          $toolkit_compat = true;
          break;
        default:
          log::warning("tiffupload", "Cannot convert Tiff Image with graphics toolkit: " .
                                   $toolkit_id->active);
      }

in helpers/tiffupload_graphics.php

Greats Daniel

HI Guys, that's great! Keep up the good work!

UPDATE

I've added the replacing and versioning of files.
The module is (back) in Alpha state, It's almost a different plugin because many things changed in the storage of files.
The TIFF images are now stored in the var/album directory, togheter with revised files.
The uploaded files are renamed with a _rev{number} suffix and their data stored in a DB table called {dam_revisions}.
On each image there is a block with list of revision and link to replace the file.

To install the module, unpack it and install/upgrade as usual.
Then go to Admin->Appearance->manage Sidebar and activate Revision List.

Then, to let it work you have to remove .htaccess from
var/albums
var/resizes
var/thumbs
I know it's a big issue for security, but I didn't understand yet how to say to kohana to let an authenticated user to see the files.

In version 4.1 I added a modified File Proxy controller named dam_proxy.php
You have t manually change the file
var/albums/.htaccess
and substitute in the line:
RewriteRule (.*) /gallery/index.php?kohana_uri=/file_proxy/$1 [L]
"file_proxy" with "dam_proxy".

You can find a sample .htaccess file in the zip.

An existing issue is album moving/renaming, so I disabled Album editing. And I suggest to disable Organize module to avoid inconsistencies.

Upgrading from previous version works on JPG file but not on TIFF, due to change in storage. A migration function is needed, but I develop for a clean environment ;)

I'm working on integrating other file formats (raw, pdf, eps, etc). Any help and suggestions are welcome.
After thet the module will be renamed from Tiffupload to DAM

Use this module for testing and development, NOT IN PRODUCTION. Use it at your own risk!

Hallo Daniel,
thank you for the contribution to the code.
I ported your change to version 4 and uploaded a new zip named v4.2

I agree that revisions and support to filetypes are 2 different features, but instead of different plugins I would add configuration options inside the plugin.

Thank you again!

Vincenzo

Hi,

I'm using tiffupload 4.3 with gallery 3.0.9. When tiffupload module is enabled in modules, I lost possibility to rotate image. When disabled, I can rotate images again. Do you have any idea, what can be wrong? I tried to search in rawphoto module forum too, but with no success.

Thanks

Petr
