Reverting back to previous version...

Are all of those images used via the IMG tags, or are they attachments?

After some research, it may be that its a server configuration issue. In your php.ini, check to see if "allow_url_fopen" is enabled or not. If not, and you have access to edit the php.ini file, enabling it should fix the issue.

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

img tags but nothing else was wrong with the site until I updated... Reverted back and it stopped...

 

[bszopi]

Did you look at the php.ini settings? The issue is with the new option to select a min size for the slider. It appears your server can't open the file to determine its size, hence the reason I asked about the setting.

You mean the servers php folder? Not much there... Just show me something to add to it or what not and I will fix it

Did you try what he suggested in post #2

[CoZmicShReddeR]

It was on

allow_url_fopen = On

 

[bszopi]

I'm still looking into it. I know its not an issue with the images you are using, as I successfully created threads with the images, inside of IMG tags, and everything worked fine. I actually even turned off 'allow_url_fopen', and still didn't get the errors you received. But, looking online at similar errors points to a server config issue, so I just need to figure out what it is.

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

And could it be my site issues could be caused by the PHP Version 5.3.8 I am using?? Since I have already unique issues like with the arcade using IE 8-9 as it is has anyone tested all your mods here with that version? just curious...

 

[bszopi]

Please re-downlod the v1.0.7 package and see if it works. It appears that, even though you are showing 'allow_url_fopen' to be enabled, that it actually isn't. This is most likely due to your host, especially if you are on shared hosting. If you continue to have issues after the new files have been installed, let me know and I will continue to look into it.

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

I am my host! Nothing has been changed everything is as it was and like the image shows allow_url_fopen has always been open...

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

I just read on another post there was some issues with VBSEO? As I have that installed not sure that would be the issue but seems so far refreshed the website a bunch of times and added a few new articles haven't seen the error with the latest update to Slider v1.07

 

[Ozzy47]

No that issue with VBSEO should not have to do with what you were experiencing. That is more of a issue for a security risk, which can be read about here. *vBSEO Security Bulletin* All Supported Versions: Patch Release - vBulletin SEO Forums

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

I am noticing now since I upgraded to 1.07 the slider isn't picking up on the first attachment image or images from RSS feeds... The RSS feeds uses the bbcoded

 

[bszopi]

Have you checked the IMG settings in the General Options to ensure you have IMG tags enabled?

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Have you checked the IMG settings in the General Options to ensure you have IMG tags enabled?

If you mean this: Always use the first image inside IMG tags even if there are attachments

I had it at that whenever the mod was released I loaded on my server and never changed it... So if that was not the correct setting let me know...

 

[bszopi]

Please PM me temp admin access and I will take a look at it.

Ok, I have it fixed on your site. We tried several different things to try to get the getimagesize function to work on your server with no success, so there is something config'd wrong somewhere, just not sure what it could be.

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

Well looks like it was fixed somewhat from what I am seeing... Could it be the PHP Version 5.3.8 or maybe the ImageMagick-6.5.3-Q16 ??

 

[Ozzy47]

It's not the php version, it may be ImageMagick, could you try GD and see if the error persists.

 

[CoZmicShReddeR]

I had upgraded after the previous post to ImageMagick-6.7.5-Q16 not sure what to look for but hopefully that was what was causing the issues... But the images were showing up almost right after bszopi accessed the FTP so whatever was edited or changed it seems a lot better... Either way I am pretty satisfied atm!

Thanks Peeps!
