Is anyone using this module with php 7.0.x? When I upgrade my php from 5.6 to 7.0.x . it breaks the images so I had to downgrade to get it back.

If you are running it with 7.0, will you share how you got it to work?

Thank you
Bill

Hi,

take care when you are doing your tests! I had a similar problem with broken images and I lost a lot of time to recognize that I had to empty the browser cache for each new test...

Hi,

I'm doing test. In one discussion, there is a broken image. I control the path calculated by "store files on disk " module with the timestamp of my image, and it looks ok : path calculated exist, and it's the good one, with the good format (AAAA/MMDD/HH/)...

Because you can upload a new file and it works properly, the storage code and the embed image code is working.

The previous instance of this problem with similar symptoms turned out to be a time zone issue.
Re: All uploaded images broken after the upgrade

I would suggest you read the comments in the store files on disk code, and the change log, since I am running out of suggestions.

From store_files_on_disk.php

Quote

// Old path format:
// active TZ based, YYYY/MMDD/HH/
// This path is based on strftime(), which is timezone dependent.
// We switched to gmstrftime() to get rid of this dependency, because
// changing the server timezone resulted in changed (thus broken)
// file paths.

2) You need to determine which time zone was used when using php 4.4.

On my host admin UI, I changed php version to 4.4 to find the current time zone. I use this code :

Language: PHP

echo date(';l jS \of F Y h:i:s A';);
?>

Date and time are exactly the same compared to my time zone (Europe/Paris). So I conclude that TimeZone are the same.

Are you ok with that ?

3) Run a script on the server

I can't do that on my share hosting. I read the changelog of mod and found that the update should be automaticaly done.

I'm afraid on all I have to do just to have my images back...

1) First get a backup and verify that it works!

2) You need to determine which time zone was used when using php 4.4.
Set php 5.6 to that time zone. You may be able to have your own php.ini, try it or ask your host for assistance.
Your images should work. Verify they work as expected.

3) Run a script on the server (using telnet, ssh, or whatever your host allows), that comes with the store files on disk mod.
This will convert all of the files and links to use GMT, so the problem does not happen again.
If you are unable to run the script on the server, your host could run it for you.

I looked at php documentation and timezone exist since php 5.x.

I try to upload and attach a new image. It works very well. I have to convert old image to new system but how ? :/

Re: Module: Embed Images

Scott Finegan — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 11:20:34 -0400

If you upload a new image on php 5.6, can you see and access it?

Re: Module: Embed Images

nnx — Sun, 23 Oct 2016 11:08:40 -0400

Hello,

Thanks for your help.

I did a mistake : I use "Store file on disk" ;)

I can't see my php.ini file because I use a shared hosting...

I took a look at phpinfo :
- With php 5.6, my actual configuration, images are broken, timezone is set to "Europe/Paris" (I'm from Paris).
- With my old php configuration (php 4.4), images are ok, phpinfo doesn't show timezone :/

I try to set a new directory for scaled images, but images are still broken.

MySQL 4.x is old and has not been tested with any of the 5.2 branch of Phorum.
As best I can tell php 5.6 works with Phorum 5.2.x using the embed images module. I have seen no issues on my test machine (Windows).

I use this module to embed image. Images are stored in phorum database .

I don't use Tidy Output. But I use "Store file on disk" version 1.1.1.

So which storage are you using?

If you store files on disk, make sure the path is reachable with a browser.

If you "enable debugging", you will not see images.
Where are you storing thumbnails?
I suggest you store them in their own directory, it helps with troubleshooting
>> Cache directory for scaled images (empty = use standard Phorum cache) ./picturesx <<
You should be able to access a file in this directory from your browser.

Do you have a timezone set in php.ini that matches what was used previously? This is a php requirement now.
Store files on disk does not work with already uploaded photos if the time zone is incorrect or different.
When it works, you run a conversion script that changes the links so they use GMT.

Hi,

Thanks for your help,

I try many things viewed in these threads but nothing work. I have the last phorum version, so I use this fix :
[www.phorum.org]

I don't use Tidy Output. But I use "Store file on disk" version 1.1.1.

With "system sanity check" everything is OK except MySQL version. I use an old 4.0.26...

I checked "Enable debugging..." and I have this error :

Image error

Hello,

I changed my php version to 5.6 and I discovered that all images are missing messages. I had this error message :

Quote

Image error
Running getimagesize() on the image data failed
open image URL

When I clicked on "open image URL" I have an other error message.

I use this module to embed image. Images are stored in phorum database.

Do you have any advice ?

Thanks !

Small code problem in Embed_Images' settings.php:

the check in Debugging Problems -> Download Test looks for the tag (as a text string) after trying to download the main google.com page. Google uses lots of different versions of that tag depending on it's changeable daily look and feel, for instance, today it looks like this:

schema.org]; lang="en">

so I get a "Not OK" message. It might be better to look for the closing tag, or even better the word "google" ? Just a suggestion.

The reason I was looking so deep in the Embed_Image.php and it's settings.php scripts was that I couldn't get images to show in the phorum.

After 3 days of digging I found that if Enable Debugging in this module is set to YES, then you'll always get the broken image box and no thumbs will be saved to a cache directory, even if everything was working fine.

None of these are in any way complaints - just posting what I found, and how I got it working for my particular phorum.

That message tells that the module is not enabled. Try to resave the modules screen with its state being enabled.

I resave it and no images. It not only just images in post. Also it avatar images that not loading anymore. I just check my other 4 phorums on same server and all of the images are not showing up anymore.

So I am thinking it have to do something with loading of image from disk that where the issues may be because I am using storage file on disk module.

this module will not work in combination with the Feedback Questionaires Module

Anybody an Idea to solve this conflict?

Right now, you have two solutions, either allow the users to create links in the message to embed the images or automatically embed all the images after the message and signature.

To get any other action, you would need to write a module. One way of doing this would be to use the (3.14.5.) before_post hook This allows you to get the message after it has been submitted and before it is stored to the database.

The module could be programmed to work as follows.
Check to see if there are any attachments
See if user has already embedded a link (ignore those)
Program the module to generate the embed code where you want it in the message.
return modified message.

David's solution definitely work...but this is not the solution....
How can i restrict the posters in my forum use the same way as what David proposed?
They usually upload and post directly...they won't go and create the link.
