The infamous image upload problem (...and how to solve it once and for all)
Since moving to an Enterprise server(s) for database/web we have still since a form of image upload corruption, and we think we know why.
We were seeing instances where the post had been published and images weren't done being resized on the server, and this is a very powerful server. You could reload the page and the image would then have finished being re-sized.
I think it has to do with upload bandwidth personally because this would explain that the server is only going as fast as the data you provide it...posting the actual ad is almost instant.
The process now is like this: publish post, upload images then resize.
My dev. suggests this:
WP or CP? .....they publish the post first because you need to have the post ID, once you do you can link the images to that post, otherwise you just cant
what I think should be done is to upload the images resied already, instead of uploading at the original size and then resize them
I think thats the way to go, because posting images and then publishing the ad is a dead end
While I am a luddite, it would seem to mean if we could have the images resized first, then uploaded, the web server load would lightened and a disaster would be averted.
By that I mean, if we are seeing this with one user posting at a time.....it could get ugly when things scale up.
