Answered Can't get phpthumbsup to work

Hello

I am trying to get phpthumbsup to work, but a having troubles.
I think I am missing something obvious.

My URL to the full-size image is a TV, and in my snippet I have this as a variable: $image
This makes this image-tag on the page:
<img src="assets/gallery/23.jpg">

To get the thumbnail I then add this code:

$imagethumb = '/phpthumbsup/w/120/h/120/zc/1/src/' . $image;

But nothing happens. The page is now rendered with the image having this tag:

<img src="/phpthumbsup/w/120/h/120/zc/1/src/assets/gallery/23.jpg">

But nothing is shown on the page!

What is wrong?

Sorry I haven't used phpthumbsup before but does it still occur if linking directly to an image? (as opposed to an image in a TV)

It is the same on a direct link: nothing happens.

Is the reason you're using phpthumbsup because you want to create permanent thumbnail files on upload?

If not, could you possibly use pthumb instead? What exactly are you trying to do?


Found a post from me about a year ago struggling with a similar thing. I ended up just using phpthumb directly in the core but that was for the backend so there may be permission issues if you're trying to do it for the front end.

I would use pThumb it is better now I think...

I use it like this for responsive images (with picturefill):

Hello again

I have now uninstalled phpthumbsup, and installed pThumb instead.

I am now trying this on a direct link:

<img src="assets/images/myimage.jpg:phpthumbof=`w=120&h=120&zc=1`" alt="" />

I have tried this both locally on my Mac running MAMP PRO, and on the web server, where the site eventually will be running.
I just get the missing-image icon, and no thumbnail.

Somebody asked, what I was trying to do:

I have built a gallery based on the document in a fold in the document tree. Each document has a TV for the image.
For the overview (the document, that is the folder) I need to show the images as thumbnails.
I think it would be best with permanent thumbnails, but right now, I just want to get SOMETHING shown on the page.
This is the only thing I am missing. Everything else works fine, with navigation, pagination and links to the individual images.

pthumb may work better for you. It's basically a drop-in replacement for phpthumbof, with several enhancements. https://github.com/oo12/phpThumbOf/blob/pThumb-dev/README.md

Hello Again

As I wrote previously, I have now uninstalled phpthumbsup, and installed pThumb.

I still don't get any images on my page.

To get things as simple, as possible, I am now working with a chunk with this code:

<img src="assets/images/image.jpg:pthumb=`w=120&h=120&zc=1`">

on the page I get the missing image icon.
If I remove ":pthumb=`w=120&h=120&zc=1`", the image is shown fine (but unscaled).

I am sure I am missing something obvious, but I can't figure it out.

You need to call pThumb as Susan posted above. It's not something you can add to the image url as you have done.
