I use EasyPHP for simple. http://www.easyphp.org/
How about using Intervention Image at http://image.intervention.io/ this plugin seems quiet pretty and very simple to use.

from laravel-5-bootstrap-3-starter-site.

At least thumbnail generation isn't checking if thumbnail folder exist. Try adding to beginning of app\helpers\thumbnail.php this:

$thumbnail_directory = dirname($thumbnail_image_path);
if(!file_exists($thumbnail_directory)) {
mkdir($thumbnail_directory);
}

I may have the same issue.

Did some debugging and noticed that Input::hasFile('picture') is always null in the controller.

from laravel-5-bootstrap-3-starter-site.

I have been looking at this issue for some time now. I figured out the issue is that pictures can't be serialized when the ajax call is being made. I am personally trying to work on a fix now and I have had success with it. The only problem is now with the folder being named www instead of public, it will take me much more time to fix because that is where ultimately the pictures should be stored, I don't really want to think about converting it right now.

I hope somebody can implement third party image management like intervention at http://image.intervention.io/ This plugin is quiet easy to use. I couldn't figure it out in this starter app because of image naming convention is hashed with sha1. I was successful in implementing in my earlier app using laravel 4.2 and still trying for this laravel 5

@douxlagithub https://github.com/Intervention/image (it has support for laravel 5)
@applecrusher you may be right - but it should a form POST request in the code.
@mrakodol - what platform are you developing on? I am asking, as I am seeing a lot of platform dependent EOL in the source files. May also explain why it may work on one platform vs another (just speculating)

@nextpulse I am not sure what you mean by your statement to me. if you look at form.serialize(), files cannot be serialized, http://api.jquery.com/serialize/. That is why if you do Log::info(Input::all()), first import or "use Log;", you will see it missing the picture field in the log. The quick way I got around this was to simply avoid using the ajax call with the form. Rather I just closed the box and sent the form without preventing the default event. This is the quickest way of doing based on the way the code is written. However the draw back is no feedback on invalid saves. I had to also create the image directory as well.

@applecrusher I didn't realize the code was doing an ajax form request!! Now I see the issue. Found a few typos and js/css not found issue in the same file (modal.blade.php). May have to rework it to bypass the serialization for file upload. Anyhow, thanks for the info - now at least I know where to look.

from laravel-5-bootstrap-3-starter-site.

So I did a quick 'hack' to make this work. For file upload forms, I added the id 'fupload' and amended modal blade. (Its ugly, but fixes it so I can at least proceed).

if (form.attr('id') == '' || form.attr('id') != 'fupload'){
$.ajax({
type : form.attr('method'),
url : form.attr('action'),
data : form.serialize()
}).complete(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
parent.$.colorbox.close();
window.parent.location.reload();
}, 10);
}).fail(function() {});
}else{
var formData = new FormData(this);
$.ajax({
type : form.attr('method'),
url : form.attr('action'),
data : formData,
mimeType:"multipart/form-data",
contentType: false,
cache: false,
processData:false
}).complete(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
parent.$.colorbox.close();
window.parent.location.reload();
}, 10);
}).fail(function() {});
};

BTW: the code in the PhotoController for saving the photo album/photos is not recommended. The reason is that it does not leverage the laravel 5 file system. (Meaning it does not take advantage of changes to the default storage - local, s3 etc)

http://mattstauffer.co/blog/laravel-5.0-cloud-file-drivers

IMHO: Probably best to take sometime to rewrite the file upload/save code - that that we understand it a bit better. (I'll add to this thread based on any new rewrites that I do).

from laravel-5-bootstrap-3-starter-site.

To avoid hard coded paths (public_path() etc) in PhotoController, I took a deeper look at the Laravel 5 file system.

http://laravel.com/docs/5.0/filesystem

The best approach seems to be:

https://github.com/GrahamCampbell/Laravel-Flysystem

This means you don't have to hard code paths in PhotoController and have everything configurable via a config file. (Switch from local disk store to s3 etc).

THX for advice and show me a bugs, but main problem is me not having enough free time to work on the project, I will tray to find some free time to do it well.
Until that, I hope that you understand me, and if someone have some free time to help, can make some poll request and I will approve it.

Sorry for waiting some new fixes :(

from laravel-5-bootstrap-3-starter-site.

This is the fix for this issue. It requires changing 1 line and adding three more variables. This also allows optional feedback.

In resources/views/admin/layouts/modal.blade.php change the ajax to the following:

            $.ajax({
                type : form.attr('method'),
                url : form.attr('action'),
                data : new FormData(this),
                contentType: false,       
                    cache: false,             
                    processData:false
                }).complete(function() {
                    // Optionally alert the user of success here...
                    setTimeout(function() 
                        {
                            parent.$.colorbox.close();
                            window.parent.location.reload();
                        }, 10);

                }).fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                                    ....... add error status right here

Let me know how this works for everyone.
