Image Handler 4 (for v1.5.x) Support Thread

[DivaVocals]

Not that the current line of discussion isn't important or relevant, but as I stated previously, a discussion about web hosting is off-topic for this support thread. As such if the OP and anyone else wants to continue this particular discussion, I'd like to respectfully ask that it be moved to a new post as this topic is no longer about support for IH4..

Ok this is an unsupported mod here, which may help you Go-Daddy fans

This hasn't been heavily tested so use at your own risK

from line 71 in your
/includes/functions/extra_functions/functions_bmz_io.php

function getCacheName($data, $ext='') {
  global $bmzConf;

  $md5  = md5($data);
  $file = $bmzConf['cachedir'] . '/' . $md5{0} . '/' . $md5.$ext;
  io_makeFileDir($file);
  return $file;
} 

try replacing it with this

function getCacheName($data, $ext='') {
  global $bmzConf;

  $md5  = md5($data);
//  $file = $bmzConf['cachedir'] . '/' . $md5{0} . '/' . $md5.$ext;
  $file = $bmzConf['cachedir'] . '/' . substr($md5,0,2) . '/' . $md5.$ext;
  io_makeFileDir($file);
  return $file;
} 

Currently Image Handler uses the first character of the optimised image for the sub directory name in your bmz_cache folder, so you will have 16 sub folders 0-f (hexidecimal), The change above instead take the first 2 characters of the optimised image name giving you 256 subfolders in the bmz_cache, so this should mean less images in each folder.

And just a note, there is no point trying to take the first 3 chars as that will give you 4096 folders which might kill the hamster that runs Go-Daddy

Wanted to add this.. since this is indeed an unsupported mod, I would ask that anyone who uses it and has issues take the discussion of those issues to a new thread..
