[eluser]Ci beginner[/eluser]
Hi there,

I got an issue with the image manipulator class of CodeIgniter. The first thumbnail is well-done:

Code:
function make_thumb_small($path)

    {

        $CI =& get_instance();

        $config['image_library'] = 'gd2';

        $config['source_image'] = $path;

        $config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;

        $config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;

        $config['width'] = 75;

        $config['height'] = 50;

        $config['thumb_marker'] = '_thumb_small';

        $CI->load->library('image_lib', $config);

    }

And the second one looks as following:

Code:
function make_thumb_medium($path)

    {

        $CI =& get_instance();

        $config['image_library'] = 'gd2';

        $config['source_image'] = $path;

        $config['create_thumb'] = TRUE;

        $config['maintain_ratio'] = TRUE;

        $config['width'] = 400;

        $config['height'] = 400;

        $config['thumb_marker'] = '_thumb_medium';

        $CI->load->library('image_lib', $config);

    }

But as you know, I can't upload the same lib twice. Or at least I think that is the issue. But I don't know how to bypass it. Could you give me some light with this?

Thank you!

Try calling the image library initialize() method with the new $config array for the helper.

And use the clear() function:

User guide:

Quote:The clear function resets all of the values used when processing an image. You will want to call this if you are processing images in a loop.

Code:
$this->image_lib->clear();

Yes, Definitely use both methods to reset the image library between tasks. Thanks pistolPete Wink
