Support/Comments for phpThumbOf 1.1.0-rc1

phpthumbof 1.3.0, MODx Revo 2.2.0

As far as I can tell, setting the phpthumb_document_root in the system settings has no effect. By default it uses the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] value.

Caches cleared, cookies cleared, nothing changes the config_document_root that the phpthumb class prepends to the filename it's passed.

An image TV has the base_path prepended to its media source path automatically. This mean that if a site is installed in a subdirectory the subdirectory name is being doubled.

/www/modx//modx/assets/images/image.png

Setting the phpthumb_document_root to something like /www should solve the problem, but it has no effect.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but there's a few other threads about this exact problem, and most of them reference this thread.. So I though I'd post my workaround here. Having said that, it's a dirty-hack-workaround because it's very prone to breaking, but might solve some short term frustrations.

Basically in my error logs I have this:


So phpthumbof is having a little trouble converting from url to absolute path (strange, because the rest of modx does that really well.. but anyway) the initial image call was:


which returned a url like:


we know that phpthumbof is just going to jam the core path ("/srv/git/reponame/cms/") infront of that.. and just hope it resolves to the correct absolute path.. so we just have to help it along.

You can chain output filters, so instead of a simple phpthumbof call:


just strip out the extraneous "/foo/" like so:


So whilst this works, it will obviously break if that subdirectory name changes.
