Plugin cakephp-imagine-plugin

Question

I working with cakephp 3.0.x-dev and I would like to use the plugin cakephp-imagine-plugin ( https://github.com/burzum/cakephp-imagine-plugin/tree/3.0 ).

When I use this plugin I get the following error in my cakephp view

Error: Imagick not installed

My controller looks like

namespace App\Controller;
use App\Controller\AppController;
use Imagine\Imagick\Imagine; 

class AccueilController extends AppController {

     public function index() {

         $directory = 'webroot'.DS.'img'.DS.'Carousel'.DS;

         //get all image 
         $images = glob($directory . "*.{jpg,JPG,jpeg,JPEG,png,PNG}",GLOB_BRACE);

         // resize image if necessary.. format(900x500)
         $height = 500;
         $width = 900;
         foreach($images as $image)         
         {
             $image = new Imagine();
             //.. do some processing operation
         }
    // send data to the view
    $this->set('images', $images);
   }
}

I have installed the plugin view thanks to php composer.phar. The composer.json file looks like :

 {
"name": "cakephp/app",
"description": "CakePHP skeleton app",
"homepage": "http://cakephp.org",
"type": "project",

    }
},

},
"config" : {
    "bin-dir" : "bin"
},
"minimum-stability" : "dev",
"prefer-stable": true

}

The plugin was installed in vendor/imagine/imagine/

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have never used composer before that. So I'm not sure what I have written in the composer.json file. Someone can help me ?

The error message is pretty clear, isn't it? Also you should read the plugins [**installation instructions**](https://github.com/burzum/cakephp-imagine-plugin/blob/3.0/docs/Documentation/Installation.md), you haven't installed it, nor is your code trying to use it, it uses the Imagine library directly. — ndm, Oct 21 '14 at 18:19
@ndm I just saw that the instructions aren't updated for Cake3 yet and updated them roughly. — floriank, Oct 21 '14 at 18:51

You're not using the plugin but accessing the vendor lib directly by what you're doing. Technically you can include the Imagine lib directly instead of the plugin via composer the way you do it.

You're not getting any benefit from the plugin this way. Look at the behavior instead. I can't admit that the documentation could be better but hey, it's open source and done for free in my free time. The behavior code is pretty clear and you should immediately see how to utilize it.

But actually the Basic-Example.md contains an example that shows how to use it.

Finally, Ndm is right, the error is pretty clear:

Error: Imagick not installed

Install Imagick, your php installation is missing that module. That is not a problem of the plugin but your php installation.

Thanks for your answer. It was the first time that I was using php composer and I thought that I did a mistake with the composer.json file. I didn't think that it was just a library to install.

So now I have installed Imagick and it works well.

Thanks
