Image Arcadia Plugins

ImageMagick Thumbnail Suite:

Automatic Thumbnail Generation via ImageMagick

There are two plugins available that utilize ImageMagick. One creates thumbnails whenever an image is uploaded to your site via HTTP. The other creates thumbnails whenever a Batch Build is performed. If an image is found in the batch that does not have an associated thumbnail, one is generated.

ImageMagick is a very powerful image processing library that is freely available on just about every operating system around. To be able to use these plugins, you must have the ImageMagick library installed before your install the plugins.

Both thumbnail generation plugins take advantage of some of the advanced features ImageMagick provides. On top of thumbnail generation, you can add a site logo or even annotate both the full-size image and thumbnail that is generated. The annotation requires that the FreeType library is installed before ImageMagick.

Installation of ImageMagick is usually handled by the System Administrator of the server. For information on installing ImageMagick and its requirements, please visit http://www.imagemagick.org. ImageMagick is a product of ImageMagick Studio LLC and is not supported by iKing Networks.

MySQL Database Plugin:

Utilize the MySQL Database for managing your data (Available by special request)
MySQL is a very powerful, freely distributed database that is available on a myriad of platforms. It comes standard on most Linux distributions and tends to be the database of choice for most hosting providers.

This plugin will take over the work of the standard text database plugin allowing for increased reliability and speed on high traffic web sites. If you run a large media gallery, this plugin is recommended for the best performance.

The plugin is not available to the general public until the setup and upgrade application is complete. However, if you need the performance and reliability now, we will install it on a special request basis at no extra charge.
