Hello

no luck , but it seems that whatever the value I put in $PHPTHUMB_CONFIG = ..., it seems overwritten by phpthumb.class.php


overwrites configuration ?
- maybe the load order of the PHP files needs to be reversed in the image field

load class file and then load configuration

or load configuration after instantiating the phpThumb object

i will need to retest and make sure that they are indeed applied

Hello

please note

that FLEXIcontent incudes an updated phpThumb version with no known security issues,
- like creating a PHP file or injecting code inside PHP files

but

if you allow "access to above document root" someone may still image thumbnails like your site statistics or other images outside document root
- so you you should avoid setting this to true
$PHPTHUMB_CONFIG = false; // if false (default) only allow src within

and instead set document root appropriately, (i will verify that this phpThumb config is loaded properly by image field)
- still if you can find why the web-server document root is not detected properly in your server that would be even better

e.g. image field in folder mode protects original images with .htaccess ! (can be disabled)
- thus only only already thumbnailed images can be re-thumbnailed !!
- which already thumbnailed images can already have a watermark (if this was enabled)

Hello

please test and provide FEEDBACK,

- after you confirm it is working,

i will add new file:
phpThumb.config_OVERRIDE.php

Thus it will be usable for
- website that DOCUMENT ROOT is not detected correctly
- also to override PHPThumb default cache size (e.g. needed for very large websites), etc
