<?php
class Admin_photos_model extends CI_Model {
public function __construct(){
$this->load->database();
}
public function upload($data) {
try {
$this->db->insert('photos', $data);
return true;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
};
}
public function thumbnails($data) {
try {
$this->db->insert('photos', $data);
return true;
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
};
}
}
Attempting to generate thumbnails, I'm separating the photos by series. If the series hasn't started, a new dir is created. Ideally, uploading 'waterfall.jpg' with series 'nature' would yield:
app
...
public_html/
img/
photos/
nature/
waterfall.jpg
waterfall_thumb_xl.jpg
waterfall_thumb_lg.jpg
waterfall_thumb_med.jpg
waterfall_thumb_sm.jpg
waterfall_thumb_xs.jpg
Any help would be appreciated.

Reading the image_moo documentation, the save function needs to have an overwrite=FALSE/TRUE. Doing so seemed to fix it.
"save($x,$overwrite=FALSE) - Saved the manipulated image (if
applicable) to file $x - JPG, PNG, GIF supported. If overwrite is not
set file write may fail. The file saved will be dependant on
processing done to the image, or a simple copy if nothing has been
done."
