Image field: thumbnailing via phpThumb fails because of image path not under document root

Hello

I have modified code to force loading of phThumb Configuration:

This is v3.0.x-stable branch:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/tree/3.0.x-stable

you can click "Download ZIP" install in the DEV site and test
- remember to configure your DOCUMENT ROOT as menitioned in previous message

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

Hello !

ok, here are the tests :

1. installation of latest zip provided
2. clear cache (frontend)
3. not working

4. configuring document root in phpThumb.config.php
- comment following line :
//$PHPTHUMB_CONFIG = realpath((getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT') && preg_match('#^'.preg_quote(realpath(getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT'))).'#', realpath(__FILE__))) ? getenv('DOCUMENT_ROOT') : str_replace(dirname(@$_SERVER), '', str_replace(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, '/', dirname(__FILE__))));

- add FULL PATH : $PHPTHUMB_CONFIG[ 'document_root' ] = '/data/www/CUSTOMER/DOMAIN/httpdocs';
- clear cache (frontend)
- not working

- set PHP-FPM CHROOT PATH : $PHPTHUMB_CONFIG[ 'document_root' ] = '/data/www/CUSTOMER';
- clear cache (frontend)
- not working

- set RELATIVE PHP-FPM CHROOT PATH : $PHPTHUMB_CONFIG[ 'document_root' ] = '/DOMAIN/httpdocs';
- clear cache (frontend)
- not working

Just let me know the next step.

any idea about this issue ?

Hello

I have add the file that was mentioned above:
phpThumb.config_OVERRIDE.php

This is v3.0.x-stable branch:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/tree/3.0.x-stable

click ZIP and install
then modify the new file to set the document root

I updated to latest joomla version and installed the flexicontent zip provided and now, in backend, I have the joomla item/category view instead of flexicontent one. Is it normal ?

I saw as well in one of the version I test an export function, which is not anymore present as well is this version latest one ? github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/tree/3.0.x-stable

Hello

yes about configuration import / export , it exists in the master branch (v3.1-dev) , which you had installed instead of the correct branch:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/tree/3.0.x-stable

now about phpThumb, and using the latest:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/tree/3.0.x-stable

edit file:
components/com_flexicontent/librairies/phpthumb/phpThumb.config_OVERRIDE.php

and set your correct document ROOT in there
also in case that you added
...disable_debug... = false;
you need to change again to:
...disable_debug... = true;

yes I installed flexicontent from the the link you provided : github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/tree/3.0.x-stable

but :
1. in backend, I have the joomla item/category view instead of flexicontent one. how can we back to flexicontent view by default ?
2. will you add export option soon on the stable tree ?
3. after modifying phpThumb.config_OVERRIDE.php, item page is now completely unreachable with no error log.

3. after modifying phpThumb.config_OVERRIDE.php, item page is now completely unreachable with no error log.

you need to set correct path and also be careful not to make any PHP syntax error

about backend, use:
Extensions / FLEXIcontent / Items
Extensions / FLEXIcontent / Category

the:
Content / articles
Content / categories
may or may not be redirected, it depends on the configuration that you have in plugin:
System - FLEXIcontent CORE functions

I tried different path, with no luck. I think that I'll abandon the idea of using this option.
