Hi, we have a fairly large MediaWiki install and I've been porting it to run on
Heroku. Part of this has been upgrading from 1.13 to 1.20 and moving images from the
on-disk /images directory to S3 (the move to use S3 is required because Heroku doesn't
support a filesystem).
We are using LocalS3Repo extension (modified). Running on Heroku…
When I upload a file it only puts the file on S3. It does not put the file in a /thumb/
directory. This seems to be a fact of life right now. But the WIKI will generate URLs for
images as-if the thumbnail image was also uploaded...
For example: if I upload a file called "test_upload1.jpg" I see this file on
S3:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/[BUCKET]/images/a/a7/Test_upload1.jpg
Which works with this Wiki Markup:
[[File:test-upload1.jpg]]
But if I use the following Wiki Markup:
[[File:test-upload1.jpg|50px]]
the URL for that IMG tag is :
http://s3.amazonaws.com/[BUCKET]/images/thumb/a/a7/Test_upload1.jpg/50px-Te…
This wont work with my system because the thumbnail isn't generated.
-----------------
How do I make the Wiki just always use the SAME URL:
http://s3.amazonaws.com/[BUCKET]/images/a/a7/Test_upload1.jpg
no matter what size is specified in the File: wiki markup? (I know the IMG tag's
<width> and <height> will resizes it anyway). I know its performance hit.
-----------------
Please note: I dont care that this is wrong, the LocalS3Repo extension is horrible and I
dont want to spend any more time combing through 1000s of lines of code to fix this, I
just want images to work.
And also please note: On Heroku the file upload process seems to NOT be able to upload the
thumb file (like cause were running multiple dynos/servers and the request for generating
the thumbnail ends up on a machine that does not have the image file Or maybe some other
reason. Either way, thumbnail generation is not going to work?? on a multiple-server
setup.
Any pointers appreciated. But a pointer tot he code that decides on the URL based on the
File name would bne great.
