CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all

Just trying this new module... but it doesnt seem to do anything for me?!

I have this on my page to test it:
But its outputting absolutely nothing ... any idea where I'm going wrong?!

Thanks

Check your php error log and cmsms admin log for clues. Also check the generated html to see if it's creating the tag but the path is incorrect or something.

Same issue here. Nothing in PHP error log (PHP 7.4.xx). Admin log shows:

Could not find a file at: uploads/images/DSC_0011.JPG

Edit: actually, there's also a notice in PHP error log:

Could not find a file at: uploads/images/DSC_0011.JPG in /var/www/public_html/modules/SmartImage/action.default.php on line 44

not working: but this works: and this too works:and even this works

I get absolutely nothing - so no html / tag output at all

Nothing in the error logs either

Tried rotezecke's alternative path suggestions too but made no difference.

Ok, ive tried installing on another site - same server/pho set up and it works ok there... so how do I go about tracking down why its not working on this site?!

Wild guess: differences in path related settings in config.php?

ok - its something to do with the actual image ... it seems it doesnt like large images?! Which would make the plugin pretty useless for what I need it for - resizing images.

I cant work out whether its the file size or pixel dimensions it doesnt like - but tried the same image at 2.7mb and 1.2mb and got a blank output... if saved at 280kb it will output

Is this a bug?

It's likely a memory issue, there should be an error in your log about it. Check your php memory limit and raise as needed.

Logs seem to be empty

PHP effective memory limit is as 128M

ok, got it i think! Explicitly set the memory limit in the config file and is working now... must have been some issue where it was showing me the incorrect figure in the system information screen

Also note as per rotezecke's comment, the url does requite the leading slash

so /uploads/images/etc

not uploads/images/etc

Just a personal preference, I like to use {uploads_url} rather than hardcoding the path, just in case it ever changes for some reason. You'll also never forget the slash in that case as it's the full url. e.g. {SmartImage src="{uploads_url}/images/foo.jpg"}

Great - good tip thanks!

Could you elaborate on "Explicitly set the memory limit in the config file" please?
I am having the same experience, no output, no error. thats a straight conversion from CGSmartImage to SmartImage. The former works fine, the latter does not (regardless of path). Thanks

sure, even though my system info said the memory was set at 128M ... i think that may have been some kind of glitch as it wasn't until i set the memory on the config file it started working. So in your config file, add this line:

Best to use specific terms, "config file" to most cmsms users means config.php but that looks like it's from your php.ini or user.ini file.
