Answered Error with phpthumbof "Force Aspect Ratio"

    Hi,

    I'm having a problem using phpthumbof 1.4.0 after I updated from MODX 2.2.4 to MODX 2.2.6 on modx cloud.

    I have the following code in a chunk: 

    [[phpthumbof? &input=`01_webarkiv/07_JPG/[[+tv.producent]]/[[+tv.varenr]].jpg` &options=`&w=185&h=123&zc=0&aoe=0&far=C`]]


    But since the update, the far=C part doesn't work anymore. Phpthumbof simply outputs a image that complies with either the height or the width parameter.

    Hasa anyone else encountered this error or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

    This question has been answered by MathiasD. See the first response.

      And I found a solution myself, unfortunately it requires editing core files:

      In core/model/phpthumb/phpthumb.class.php on line 1116

      I changed this line: 
      if ($which_convert && ($which_convert{0} == '/') && (function_exists('stream_resolve_include_path') ? @stream_resolve_include_path($which_convert) : @file_exists($which_convert))) {


      Into this:
      if ($which_convert && ($which_convert{0} == '/') && @file_exists($which_convert)) {


      Apparently there is some problems detecting ImageMagic in the new version, fortunately the code from the 2.2.4 version works, at least on modx cloud servers...

        Could you file this on tracker.modx.com so they can get it fixed in future releases?

              Could you please specify your setup?

              MODX 2.2.6 on modxcloud.com server.

              As far as I understand the error is connected with the php version the server run, and if it is able to correctly detect ImageMagic (that is needed for the zc and far parameters) on the server. So presumably this works on other setups...
