phpThumb not working with [*somethingHere*] but ok with [+somethignHere+]

I have phpThumb installed and all is working well - but only for placeholders!

If I use this code as a template for a ditto call all is well:

<img src="[+image:phpthumb=`zc=1&w=115&h=150`+]">

however, if I use it like this in a normal page if fails to work

<img src="[*image:phpthumb=`zc=1&w=115&h=150`*]">

If I do this in a normal page:

<img src="[*image:phpthumb=`zc=1&w=115&h=150`*]">
<img src="[*image*]">

the HTML output is this:

<img src="">
<img src="/assets/images/press/stories/image111529AM_1.jpg">

So there is definitely a value in [*image*] and phpThumb isn’t outputting any code whatsoever when used with "[*somethingHere*]" but is ok with "[+somethingHere+]" in a template. Weird.

Has anyone come across this before?

Thanks

Alex.

It’s b/c it’s a function of PHx I believe. When using PHx plugins (as in this case, correct?), [+ ... +] is used instead of [* ... *]

Thanks for the reply Flinx. I’ve changed it to [+...+] and it still doesn’t work, outputs the same as in my original post. My code is:

<img src="[+image:phpthumb=`zc=1&w=115&h=150`+]">
<img src="[*image*]">

And that outputs in html:

<img src="">
<img src="/assets/images/press/stories/image111529AM_1.jpg">

What version of MODx are you using? MODx 1.0.0? I’ve had some problems here lately with PHx and MODx 1.0.0

I’ve upgraded from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2.

I’ve upgraded from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2.

Still having the problem huh? Odd...

Truthfully I never use PHx directly in conjunction with PHP thumb. I just do a call to PHP thumb where it resides, i.e.:

<img src="/assets/snippets/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=/[+image_01+]&w=65&h=65&zc=1&q=90" />

The only time I use PHx with PHP Thumb is a conditional statement in the event the image T.V. is left blank...for example:

[+phx:if=`[+image_01+]`:is=``:then=``:else=`
<img src="/assets/snippets/phpThumb/phpThumb.php?src=/[+image_01+]&w=65&h=65&zc=1&q=90" />`+]

Hope that helps...

Hat-rack,

have you installed the PHX plugin on your site? Ditto got PHX functionality included, so it will work within a Ditto template, otherwise you need to install PHX if you want to use it sitewide

*edit;
following doze’s approach here: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,41309.msg248604.html#msg248604

this works for me outside of Ditto:

<img src="[+phx:input=`[(base_url)][*myTV*]`:phpthumb=`&h=100&w=100&zc=1&q=95`+]"  />

and inside of a Ditto template:

<img src="[+phx:input=`[(base_url)][+myTV+]`:phpthumb=`&h=100&w=100&zc=1&q=95`+]"  />

Ha...yeh, I guess I had forgot to ask if you had installed PHx...i just assumed you had ... that definitely will be a good start. laugh

Ok, I’m a moron. PHx wasn’t installed, but it was before the 1.0.2 upgrade. So does upgrading from 1.0.0 to 1.0.2 wipe (some) plugins?

Not sure...probably need to view the change log for PHx.
