[Solved] CGSmartImage only visible to Admin

[clapczyn]

Hi everyone,

i've got a really strange problem and I cant find any solution for it.
CGSmartImage doesn't show any images except when I'm logged in as admin in the same browser that views the page.

As soon as I'm logged in the cache-directory fills up upon pagevisits (and the images load) When I log out and clear my browser cache the images won't show.

There is nothing shown on the page, but in the Admin Log it says "A required parameter was missing or invalid: src"
The module-call that looks like this (and works when logged in):

Code: Select all

{capture assign="content_img_url"}
{content_image label='ContentImage' block='content_image' dir='contentpage' urlonly='true'}{/capture}
{CGSmartImage src=$content_img_url filter_croptofit="264,259"}

In CGSmartImage the following options are set:
Responsive – everything on NO
Embedding - Smart, 32kb
General:
Force file extension: YES
CachePath – uploads/_CGSmartImage
Suppress Errors – NO
preemptive memory check – NO

Anything that helps is appreciated – I just don't know where to go from here …

THX alot!

[Dr.CSS]

Sounds like the src= is coming up blank, have you tried just using the assign= in the {content_image} tag..?

[calguy1000]

As DrCss mentioned you shouldn't be using the {capture} tag unless absolutely necessary.

But I think the problem you are having is related to smarty caching.

[calguy1000]

To follow up.... I think I see what is happening, and you will need a bit more understanding in how smarty caching works.

Generally, it converts your smarty template to cacheable text.

i.e: the stuff that is cached will be the results to {somecall}

Given this code:
{content_image block='foo' assign='foo'}
{CGSmartImage src=$foo}

The first line outputs no data... so there is nothing to cache.
The second line assumes that there is data in the smarty $foo variable, and generates an error.

Now. the nocache attribute to smarty plugins can be useful in bypassing cache in some circumstances.

so I would try
{content_image block=foo assign=foo nocache}
{CGsmartImage src=$foo}

That did the trick, thanks a lot!!!
I would've never thought of that …

[Edit]
though I still don't understand why it worked when I was logged in

Because when you are logged in to the admin (in the same browser session) caching is explicitly disabled. This is so that you can immediately see changes that you implement.
