Thread

Ok so I just took over a site for a company who had a falling out with the freelance designer who built the web site in expression engine. I am a proficient web designer and know many forms of code, but I’m at a loss here.

On the template that won’t show the pictures this is the EE code using image sizer:

    <div class=“memberPhotolarge”>
      {exp:imgsizer:size src="{member_photo}” width=“185” height=“260”}
              {sized}
          {/exp:imgsizer:size}
    </div><!—end memberPhotolarge—>

and this is how it displays in the html code:

    <div class=“memberPhotolarge”>
     
    </div><!—end memberPhotolarge—>

So the code doesn’t even get put in to place the image. The upload location is fine and the files are all there, I’m at a loss?

Looks like you’re missing some code, you should have an IMG tag inside the IMGSIZER tag pair…

{exp:imgsizer:size src="{member_photo}" width="185" height="260"}
{sized}
{/exp:imgsizer:size}

I tried changing the SRC in the code to IMG and IMAGE but it still does nothing. I even tried to add a new IMG or IMAGE tag but still nothing.

Did you try the code exactly as I gave you?

As a test try using a file that you know is on the server (replace /path/to/your/file.jpg with the URL of an existing image) as follows:

{exp:imgsizer:size src="/path/to/your/file.jpg" width="185" height="260"}
{sized}
{/exp:imgsizer:size}

Sorry I just noticed that not all the code showed this is it:

<div class=“memberPhotolarge”><br />     {exp:imgsizer:size src="{member_photo}” width=“185” height=“260”}<br />       {sized}<br />     {/exp:imgsizer:size}<br /> </div><!—end memberPhotolarge—>

and in the html it shows:

<div class=“memberPhotolarge”></div><!—end memberPhotolarge—>

and I just tried to give it a direct path like suggested and but it is stil not even building any img tag in the html. Is there a chance that the plugin is gone or broken, and if so where and how would I check that in EE?

What version of EE are you using?

Yes it’s a good idea to make sure the plugin file is there, you can download the latest version from
http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/image-sizer/

It’s version 1.6.9

I checked in the plug-in directory and found the plug-in there. It’s strange because even after they switched servers everything was fine, then about 2 week later just those images broke. All else is fine though.

Is there a way to trace the directory where it is trying to pull “{member_photo}” from?

Hi felixperson,

If you turn on template debugging you can probably see where things go awry. Image Sizer has some pretty extensive template logging built in. If you ask me it probably has something to do with the write permissions on the /images/sized/ folder.

It was the permissions on the folder. Thanks for the help all!

Glad I could be of help…
