<p>The most likely reason is if you have spaces in the image file name. This is not permitted in a valid URL, the best thing to do is to replace them with a hyphen (-) character. This is what Google recommend, they interpret these as spaces.</p>
<p>Also if you have special characters that can cause problems. It is best if image file names contain only a to z A to Z 0 to 9 . and -</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The information about this is available in the FAQ on this site.</p>
<p>The resize.php file which resizes the images expects them to be in the image/stories folder, and to be a relative rather than an absolute path. If you dont want this behaviour you can delete or comment out lines 14 and 15 in this file.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>if ( preg_match('/^http/i', $filename)) { die; }<br />if ( ! preg_match('/^images\/stories\//i', $filename )){ die; }</p> |

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Thanks for the answer...</p>
<p>But no, ther's no problem with the files names, the images names have no space, and no special character...</p>
<p>Maybe a folder permission...</p>
<p>Where does the module put its thumbnails ?</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p>My article images are in a folder named "uploads" on the root of the website, as recommended by the developpers of the joomsuite resources... ?</p>
<p>Is that the reason why it doesn't work ?</p> |

<p>Yes, that would be the reason.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You can change the line</p>
<p>if ( ! preg_match('/^images\/stories\//i', $filename )){ die; }</p>
<p> </p>
<p>to</p>
<p> </p>
<p>if ( ! preg_match('/^uploads\//i', $filename )){ die; }</p>
<p> </p>
<p>if you want, or just delete the line altogether.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The normal place for Joomla articles is in the images/stories folder. This check is to discourage file-snooping.</p> |

<p>I tried both tricks, replacing, and erasing the code lines in "resize.php"...</p>
<p>But no change, still no images.</p>
<p>All my folders are chmoded 777, so that shouldn't be a problem neither...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In file "resize.php", it "talks about" jpeg images, mine are jpg... Could that be a problem ?</p> |

<p>No that would not be the reason.</p>
<p>The resize.php does require the GD graphics module for php to be available on your server.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also you should check its permissions, check that it is not writable.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You might also try deleting the line</p>
<p> </p>
<p>if ( preg_match('/^http/i', $filename)) { die; }<br /><br /></p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you wish to send me the URL of the site I can have a look for your.</p> |

<p>http://www.64connections.com</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I erased 3 lines :</p>
<p>if ( preg_match('/^http/i', $filename)) { die; }<br />if ( ! preg_match('/^images\/stories\//i', $filename )){ die; }<br />if ( preg_match('/[^\\/]/', $ds)){ die; }</p>
<p>But doesn't work...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And in module configuration, I have "<span class="editlinktip">Use GD for Images" set to no... ?<br /></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="module">By the way, I have the same problem with "</span><strong><span class="small">mod_featureditems_pro" also...</span><br /></strong></p> |

<p>I have emailed new versions of featured items carousel and pro to you. You should find that they work much better. Let me know if you have further problems.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The new versions have been added to this site as well.</p> |

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Thanks for the update, but the images still don't show... ?</p>
<p>I tried with GD set to "yes", and to "no"...</p>
<p>I think GD is installed on my server, please check picture :</p>
<p><img src="http://www.64connections.com/image6.png" border="0" /></p>
<p>www.64connections.com...</p>
<p>Hope you'll have the solution... ?</p>

<p>Hello the problem seems to be happening because your images are not strictly images, they are generated dynamically as the output of Joomsuite resources. There may be a problem with the image mime-type generated as a result. Or they may not have a Joomsuite field type of 'image'.</p>
<p>You may find that the images show if you do not try to use gd.</p>
<p>You need to make sure that the images are either 'image' field types, or are embedded in an html page. They need to be actual jpgs.</p>
<p>Also remember not to include spaces in the image URL.</p>
<p>I think that the most likely explanation is that the fields that you are trying to display are not of type 'image'.</p> |

<p>GD is turned off, no image...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can't use "image" type in resources, because it's not an "uploadable" type, and it's a "multiple users/submiters" website...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So I use "picture" type, files are jpg, no spaces...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I bought your extensions because thy're on the "mighty extensions" website in resources modules, so I thought it would work... ?</p> |

<p>It does work, the module works with images embedded in html and image plugin fields, that is normal article image data, as described on this site and the mighty extensions site.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you wanted it to work with special field types such as upload fields it was up to you to check whether this would work.<br /><br />It is not possible to support arbitrary field types, as the format for Joomsuite fields can vary too widely.<br /><br />That said, I will check to see if it is possible to modify the module to work with the picture plugin.<br /><br />It is a good module, I have put a lot of work into, so please do not insult my work when the fault is yours.</p> |

<p>It turns out that it is possible to adapt the module to support the picture field as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I will send you the new version and add it to this site.</p> |

<p>Glad to hear the pictures are displaying.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Your other problem is a bug with Joomsuite resources, not the module. The module uses the standard JRoute class to generate the link. If it is not creating the link as you would wish it is a problem with the Joomsuite resources router, it is not something that can be solved from the module.</p>
<p>If I come across a solution to this I will let you know.</p> |

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>yes, I know meta mod, but I have way too many modules to be able to use that solution...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But I just thought... isn't ther a way to give a specific itemid to the link by changing a php file of the extension ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I could give it an itemid used in the menu that has all my modules displaying ?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really need to fix this, because a lot of my visitors click on the caroussel's items, so those links are very well placed in google, but without the template around... So that's a big problem...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hoping for answers,</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Chris</p> |

<p>That's an interesting idea. You would need to add a line before line 450:</p>
<p> if ( $readmore == 'yes' )
{
$lists[$i]->readmore = ' <a href="' . $lists[$i]->link .'" class="featureditems_readmore' . $params->get('moduleclass_sfx') . '">Read more..</a>';
}
</p>
<p>Before that, put</p>
<p>$lists[$i]->link .= "&Itemid=x";</p>
<p>Where x is the id you want to use</p>
<p>It is a hack, but this should work I think. I may include it as an option in the module, it is a good idea.</p> |

<p>Hello,</p>
<p>First, thank you for your answer !</p>
<p>I was very excited by this hack, but unfortunately it only works when Joomsef (URL rewriting) is turned off...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Resources has a module called "<strong>mod_jsc_content_list</strong>" that lists articles with a link on the title (you can see it on the bottom on my pages at www.64connections.com).</p>
<p>In the banckend admin of the module, I can select an "Itemid target" that works with URL rewrite (that module gave me the idea of itemid I proposed you yesterday).</p>
<p><img src="http://www.64connections.com/Image.png" border="0" width="521" height="28" /></p>
<p>Maybe it can give you some hints on how to get this right...</p>
<p>If you need me to send you the module's files, just ask.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hoping we'll get this fixed,</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Chris</p> |

<p>The latest update of the featured items modules now include the option to set an itemid. This works with Joomla native sef urls as well. </p> |
