CakePHP Image Version Component Update
I found a great image component and helper in the bakery here (Tom Maiaroto (tom_m) is the original author):
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/image-version-component
However, I noticed that it didn’t work on my Windows development server (running WAMP). I went through the component code and made a few minor changes. I also documented everything as best I could. Basically, there were some issues due to how Windows specifies file system paths vs. Unix/Linus (using the whack ‘\’ instead of the slash ‘/’). This component now accounts for this and can be deployed on either operating system without a problem. I’m only including the component file in this post since I didn’t touch the helper file at all. Please reference the original post in the Bakery article linked to above.
Link opens in a new window. Save as image_version.php and place in /app/controllers/components directory.
Thank you for updating this! I didn’t realize that I forgot about the IIS users. Oops.
Np. Actually I’m running Apache (via WAMP), but since it’s a Windows box the whack vs. slash issue was still there. Thanks for the component!
