Answered Some Articles appear blank (possibly since upgrading to 2.3)

    Not sure if this has to do with my recent upgrade to 2.3 but some of my articles now show blank pages whereas the others show as normal. I cannot find a common thread amongst the ones that are blank. They were all created before the upgrade but most of those created beforehand still show fine. Has anybody else experienced this?

    Blank example here: http://www.intandem.ie/blog.html/2014/02/16/easily-embed-powerpoint-presentations-in-your-website/
    Normal example here: http://www.intandem.ie/blog/2014/07/03/plan-and-optimise-a-website-course-coming-up-in-october/


    P.S. Please note that yes, one shows blog.html/ and the other blog/ in the file path. That has nothing to do with it as others with blog.html/ show fine. Not sure where this difference comes from but it's on all articles up to a certain date. Must have changed something around file paths at the time which I now forget. But the bottom line is that others with the same file path don't show blank, so that's a red herring unfortunately.

      Running latest version of Articles?

      If you visit the Article in the manager and click preview, does it take you to the expected URL and if so is it also blank?

        Ok, after playing around with this a little bit more, there seems to be an issue wherever I have inserted an image that I resized within the article using Redactor. So perhaps this is a Redactor problem? Have copied content from a blank article to a new one. Goes blank as well. However, once I take out any resized images, the article reappears. Am pretty sure there is a 2.3 connection as I was looking at one of the now blank articles only a couple of weeks ago and it was all there.

        Sorry, JP, only just saw your reply on refresh. No, I get a blank via preview as well. The content shows fine in the Manager and I have the latest Articles code. But I am now beginning to think that this might be Redactor rather than Articles.

          Sorted. Contacted the guys at modmore and got the following reply which got it sorted out(I have AutoFixImageSize plugin installed):

          "Are you using the AutoFixImageSize plugin, or ImageSlim? I'm guessing you are, and that as a result of that you're running into a bug in the MODX 2.3.0 core related to phpthumb causing the white page.

          The bug is #11700 (https://github.com/modxcms/revolution/issues/11700), and is due to an issue with the phpthumb class. It's easy to patch (and will be included in 2.3.1 which will supposedly land soon); simply replace the contents of your core/model/phpthumb/phpthumb.class.php with this: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/modxcms/revolution/develop/core/model/phpthumb/phpthumb.class.php

          That should sort it. "
