find_or_create_alternate just returns the original image

Hi everybody,

I'm just starting to use the find_or_create_alternate() method to make
thumbnails, and I must be doing something wrong. When I try something
like this:

my $size = 240;
my $thumb = $pic->find_or_create_alternate({
title_prefix => '',
title_suffix => '-' . $size,
file_suffix => '_sized_nicely,
et_key_name => 'auto_generated_image',
relate => 0,
transformer => sub {
shift->scale( xpixels => $element_names_and_sizes{$size} );
},
});

...no new media document is created, and the $thumb returned is the
original $pic. Any idea what I'm doing incorrectly?


Thanks,

Bret

Is $pic a auto_generated_image already?

Hi David,

No, it's just an "image". Do they need to be the same type?


Thanks,

Bret

No, they should not be. I'm not sure, you'll have to debug it, I'm afraid. Finding an existing auto_generated_image is the only path to an early return I can see in the method. You're getting back exactly the same object?

Oh, wait, is it a Bric::Biz::Asset::Business::Media::Image? Only an Image object implements the needed functionality.

Best,

David

Yeah, it is. Both "image" and "auto_generated_image" are image objects.
But yes, the object returned is the exact same one I'm calling
find_or_create_alternate() on.

I'll do some debugging and report back. Prepare to learn about a typo in
my template!

Thanks,

Bret

Hi,

I just started using this function two days ago and it works fine.
May be something wrong with $element_names_and_sizes{$size} ?

Hi everybody,

I just figured this out. The inital media document had a mixed-case
filename, but a lowercase URI format.

So the regex that was trying to change the initial image's URI into the
thumbnail's URI was failing to find the filename, which left the
"target" URI the same as the starter one. Then the lookup found the
image with the desired URI and returned the inital picture.

I've committed a patch and sent a pull request.


Cheers,

Bret
