Hi Everyone

This is a question for one of our French members, VictorTopper.

His site is currently under construction here:
http://www.mwinda.fr

As you can see, the FrontPage module is not inserting images, but pulling a lot of error messages:

Does anybody know what the problem is and I’ll translate to French for him!

Thanks
Chris

Hi questbg !
please tell VictorTopper that : he must change permission of images folder and subfolder of it , change permission of it to “755” or “777”.

Hi hainn 84

I sent your advice to Victor and he replies with:

“Je suis convaincu qu’il y a un problème de droit sur le dossier image, mais je ne sais quel droit lui mettre. J’ai essayé 755 ou 777 c’est la même chose. alors je ne sais plus”

He is also convinced that the problem is with access priviliges for the images folder, however, he has already tried 755 and 777 and the same problem occurs with both. Now he has no idea what to try?

Any ideas for him?
Thanks
Chris

Hi questbg !
i seems have detected the problem ! i try to go url of image and it does’t exist !

http://www.mwinda.fr/images/stories/impfondo05.jpg

i think that VictorTopper have add to content a image , what doesn’t exist , so it doesn’t display in backend editor and in frontend. JA news FP get the image tag and resize it, but can’t find the file ( becauce , it doesn’t exist ) so ja news FP have displayed the obove error.

Hi got that same problem just now and fixed it,
The problem is in the helper.php file,
Dont know why but the code there uses these lines:
73 $image=strtolower($image);
74 $sizeThumb = getimagesize(JPATH_SITE.’/’.$image);

which means if the image name is in uppercase it will not be found on the server …..

So to fix the problem – tested on my testingSite i removed line 73.
now my testing site is working fine – should see what Joomlart Dev say for this
cause just taking out lines from somebody else code could be dangerous …

Any way too me it seems to be a bug.
So if its urgent to you just remove the line with “$image=strtolower($image);”
at the modules/mod_janews/helper.php.

Thanks,
shamboo

I was having just the same kind of problem on http://www.krivapalanka.info

Some of folders where I put pictures were having KAPITAL letters.

I have solved the problem by changing the names of folders and pictures with small letters only.

Problem resolved.

Yes, that was the problem. He’s relocated all the files and folders into the main /images folder and everything is working fine now!

Please mark as ‘solved’

Many Thanks
Chris

PS. It’s also a problem naming image directories with capital letters in the /images folder as cgoran stated above!

Before marking as solved – it seems we have got 2 kind of errors here:
1. Bad image path because of some user error.
2. Good image path that uses higher and lower case letters – which causes the problem because the code in the helper file searches only for low case letters – see my suggested fix above.

So before marking as resolved can some one from Joomlart put this into the next version of ja_news module?
