Image+ does not save the cropped images

[ggempp]

Good afternoon

I hope someone has an idea why the cropped images from the extra Image+ are not stored or where they are stored.

It’s possibile to crop the image in the TV - and the cropped version looks fine. While cropping and after saving the resource with the image+ TV. The cropped image stays still cropped.

In the file directory assets/components/phpthumbof/cache there are only the full sized images, but with a differnt file name (the behaviour of the cropped image).

Calling the pthumb with the sizes works also in the chunk - but with the full image from the assets folder.

I have no idea where the cropped images are stored and how to call them in the right way.

Maybe someone knows this issue?

Cheers, Gudrun

Environment
MODX3 - PHP 8.2 - Image+ 2.9.4 - pthumb
image+ in a getResource all with the described way from the documentation website of the extra.

I have no idea where the cropped images are stored

Internally Image+ just calls pThumb to generate the cropped images and provides the cropping parameters (e.g. sx=20&sy=30&sw=400&sh=300).

The images are stored in the normal pThumb cache directory (assets/components/phpthumbof/cache by default.)

I don’t know why this doesn’t seem to work in your case.

When you call pThumb manually like this

[[pthumb? &input=`assets/images/someimage.jpg` &options=`sx=20&sy=30&sw=400&sh=300`]]

(with the path to an existing image and some random crop settings), does this work?

Thank you very much.

The manually call - for example - [pthumb? &input=assets/images/someimage.jpg &options=sx=20&sy=30&sw=400&sh=300]]
in a resource with a defined image just shows the path, but not the image itself.

The call of the chunk in my getResource chunk is
[[ImagePlus?
&tvname=imageplus
&type=tpl
&docid=[[+id]]
&tpl=IntroImg
]]
And the image template “IntroImg” with the aspect ratio for the image is ok, for example w300&h200. But the image within is the full size image.
IntroImg= img src=“[[+source.src:pthumb=w=300&h=200]]”

I deinstalled the extras of pthumb and image+. Cleared all the cache - core and the image caches.

I installed first pthumb and than image+. In a fresh resource I choose a picture from the source where my blogpost pictures are stored.

The cropping in the TV looks fine - but in the cache directory of pThumb there is only high compressed version of the original image without the cropping.

@ggempp

<img src="[[+source.src:pthumb=`w=300&h=200`]]">

I’m pretty sure, if you want to output the cropped image, you have to also include the placeholder crop.options in your template chunk:

<img src="[[+source.src:pthumb=`[[+crop.options]]&w=300&h=200`]]">

It might be easier to use the default template chunk instead (with the property &options):

[[ImagePlus?
    &tvname=`imageplus`
    &type=`tpl`
    &docid=`[[+id]]`
    &options=`&w=300&h=200`
]]

The cropping in the TV looks fine

The TV thumbnails in the manager are created differently, than the output on the front-end.

Thanks again. I‘ll try this tomorrow and will be back here after that.

[ggempp]

I could not wait untill tomorrow.

And: now, it works !! Thank you so much.

Settings in the TV image+
Output chunk: IntroImg
Thumbnail URL generation: yes

Settings in the getResources chunk:
[[ImagePlus?
&tvname=imageplus
&type=tpl
&docid=[[+id]]
&options=&w=300&h=200
]]

And in the IntroImg chunk:
img src=“[[+source.src:pthumb=w=300&h=200]]”

The combination of this configuration now works fine.
