Image upload modify file

Question

I've created a Magento module which should hook into an event when a file is saved to cache. But it looks like there isn't any event like that, or am I missing something?

I currently hooked up with the

category_product_gallery_upload_image_after

but then the file is edited by magento before writing to cache because it's resized. Therefor overwriting my file optimalisation.

Is there any way I can hook to an image before it's written to cache, or after the resizing?

Answer 1

There is no native function or event for this.

But you can done by rewrite the image save function Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Image::save file()

i.e.,

public function saveFile() { 
   $filename = $this->getNewFile();
   $this->getImageProcessor()->save($filename); 
   //you can do your logic here.
    Mage::helper('core/file_storage_database')->saveFile($filename);
    return $this; 
}
