How to install PHP Image Editor Pro Joomla 2.5, 1.7 and 1.6

PHP Image Editor Pro Joomla will only work on live/production sites, not on local development environments. Because PHP Image Editor must be able to contact your homesite when image editing starts and when sending back the image to your homesite.

  1. Extract phpimageeditor.zip at your local harddrive.
  2. Extract phpimageeditor_pro_joomla_1_6_to_2_5.zip at your local harddrive.
  3. Upload everything in phpimageeditor_pro_joomla_1_6_to_2_5.zip to "/yoursite/plugins/system/phpimageeditor" (you need to create the directory phpimageeditor)

  6. If you already haven´t done it, set your own image directory, subdirectories to read, write, and execute permissions. For example "/yoursite/images/".

CHMOD 777 is the most easy way. But it ain´t secure. If you have the rights to, set directory owner to www-data and then CHMOD 755. Or is there a better way?

Some users have problem with that the new uploaded images not are overwritable. I think it´s becuase of the file owner not is set to www-data. A new uploaded image gets permissions 644, so it has to be owned by the www-data user or else it won´t be overwritable. Normally, www-data is the user that runs Apache. If you´re having that problem, you need to ask you hosting company if the uploaded files can be owned by the user that runs Apache (normally www-data).
