I have a news blog using articles which works fine. I'm creating a news page that displays all the latest posts. This works fine but I would like an image from the post to show with it. Images in each news item are by tvs. Here is my code:

<li>
<a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" title="[[+pagetitle]]">     
         <img src="[[+tv.NewsImage:phpthumbof=`w=153&zc=1`]]" alt="[[+pagetitle]]" />
         </a>  
<div>
<h3>[[+pagetitle]]</h3>
<span>[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d, %Y`]] | Posted by <span>[[+createdby:userinfo=`fullname`]]</span></span>
<p>[[+introtext]]</p>
<a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">Read More</a>
</div>
</li>

No image is displayed. No file path is being parsed to src. It's <img alt="Season kick off" src=""></img>

In the the error log it says:
(ERROR @ /connectors/system/phpthumb.php) Error outputting thumbnail:
OutputThumbnail() failed because !is_resource($this->gdimg_output) in file "phpthumb.class.php" on line 557
[2013-08-11 18:26:37] (ERROR @ /connectors/system/phpthumb.php) phpThumb was unable to generate a thumbnail for: /home/username/public_html/core/cache/phpthumb/phpThumb_cache_mydomain_src92d08988004a309b8c7d065ba969feee_paradf896d45f319fa323d889e84ccb98c5_dat0.jpeg

Am I doing something wrong? PhpThumbOf is installed.

Don't think you need to prefix the tv placeholder. Try:

<img src="[[*NewsImage:phpthumbof=`w=153&zc=1`]]" alt="[[+pagetitle]]" />

Does it work without phpthumb?

<img src="[[*NewsImage]]" alt="[[+pagetitle]]" />

Unfortunately no.

Is it something to do with permissions maybe on the thumbnail folder?

Each post has a different image in the TV, am I supposed to point the ID of the post as well or is that being done by the href?

Might also be because your not specifying a height. From the docs:

zc = zoom-crop. Will auto-crop off the larger dimension so that the image will fill the smaller dimension (requires both "w" and "h")

Oh ok, it's a tv problem then. Double check the name is correct and try a different image.

Just tried it as

<img src="[[*NewsImage:phpthumbof=`w=300&h=200&zc=1`]]" alt="[[+pagetitle]]" />

but no luck

Can you see a preview of the image selected in the tv when editing the resources?

There is a preview and the tv works as the images show in the full news item itself: The code I use there is:

			<div class="body news-single">
				<div>
					<span>News</span> <a href="news.html" id="paging">> Back</a>
					<div>
						<img src="[[*NewsImage]]" alt="News image" width="670">
						<h3>[[*pagetitle]]</h3>
						<span>Posted on [[*publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d, %Y`]]  | Posted by <span><a href="[[~[[*parent]]]]author/[[*publishedby:userinfo=`username`]]">[[*publishedby:userinfo=`username`]]</a></span></span>
						<p>[[*content]]</p>
<img src="[[*NewsImage2]]" alt="News image2" width="300" align="left">
<img src="[[*NewsImage3]]" alt="News image3" width="300" align="left">
					</div>
</div>
</div>

All 3 tvs display.
