Image Field: Empty URL

[aComAdi]

Hi,

Have been working with ProcessWire for a few months now, successfully implementing several sites. I am compiling data management into modules for our clients. Several sites are using those modules now. The modules are using RockMigrations to install fileds, templates and pages.

Today, I installed a new site. And now I am tripping over an issue that I cannot explain. Content on pages is organized in 'rows'. The users can add row by using RepeaterMatrix...then completing the fields to add data to the row. One particular content row has image fields. When I upload the images to the fields, all works as expected. The images appear in the RepeaterMatrix and I do find the images in assets/files/xxxx. But the images are not displayed in the front-end (see attachment). As you can see in the attachment, the various text and textarea fields in the RepeaterMatrix item are displayed correctly.

I have done the following:

• Compare field settings to the existing implementations: they are identical
• Compare the RepeateMatrix settings and permissions to existing implementations: they are identical
• Change field name. No change.
• Delete field and created manually (including once with different name). No change.

If I dump the element with Tracey, I get the following output:

• If Max Number = 1
  • null
• If Max Number = 0
  • count => 0
    page => "/processwire/repeaters/for-field-136/for-page-1/1574873590-62-1/" (60)
    field => "wk_inhalt_start_links_bild" (26)
    url => "/serverpath/site/assets/files/1046/" (30)
    path => "/serverpath/serverpath/serverpath/serverpath/site/assets/files/1046/" (56)
    items => array ()

I would venture that there is an issue regarding images on the shared server...but another content element on the site works just fine with images.

Bit stumped right now. Especially considering that I made the same installation earlier today on a different server successfully. I would appreciate any ideas on where to investigate this issue.

Follow-up:

I just ran a test with a different row type in that RepeaterMatrix and have the same issue: images can be uploaded, appear in the CMS, are up on the server...but are not displayed.

What's your relevant code in your template file?

url => "/serverpath/site/assets/files/1046/"

That's not an image/file URL, i.e. not $imagefieldname->url

items => array ()

What's inside this array? I guess the images? Or is it empty?

Looking at your screenshot, why is there a visible <img src=... in the middle of nowhere? Did you inspect that?

[aComAdi]

The object output I posted above, is from the dumping of the images field with Tracey Debugger:

bd($inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_bild);

Regarding the weird output with the image tag: must have made a c&p mistake while trying to debug this issue. Has nothing to do with the problem at hand. Fixed the html issue though. (See screeshot attached.)

Here's a compacted version of the code which leads to the issue.

Code processing the RepeaterMatrix

foreach($page->wk_inhalt_zeile as $inhaltszeile) {
	switch ($inhaltszeile->repeater_matrix_type) {
		case '2':
        	bd($inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_bild);
        	require  $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$config->urls->templates.'_inhalt_occneu.php';
        	break;
	}
}

Code processing the RepeaterMatrix item in question, including the images:

<section class="about-us-section section-padding">
  <div class="container">
    <div class="section-header text-center">
      <h2><?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_titel; ?></h2>
      <?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_text1; ?>
    <div class="row">
      <div class="col-lg-6 col-sm-6">
        <div class="looking-car">
          <div class="looking-cat-image"> <img src="<?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_bild->url; ?>" alt="<?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_titel; ?>" /></div>
          <div class="looking-car-content">
            <h3><?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_titel; ?></h3>
            <?php
              echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_text;
            ?>
            <a href="<?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_link; ?>" class="btn"><?php echo __('Anzeigen'); ?><i class="fa fa-chevron-circle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="col-lg-6 col-sm-6">
        <div class="looking-car">
          <div class="looking-cat-image"> <img src="<?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_rechts_bild->url; ?>" alt="<?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_rechts_titel; ?>" /> </div>
          <div class="looking-car-content">
            <h3><?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_rechts_titel; ?></h3>
            <?php
              echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_rechts_text;
            ?>
            <a href="<?php echo $inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_rechts_link; ?>" class="btn"><?php echo __('Anzeigen'); ?><i class="fa fa-chevron-circle-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></a> </div>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</section>

Notes:

• Same code works as expected on other installations
• Images are uploaded and visible in RepeaterMatrix Item in CMS
• The RepeaterMatrix item is processed as expected in the front-end, with the exception of the image fields
• Image fields in other RepeaterMatrix Types in the front-end are also not working correctly.

I have the suspicion, that this is an issue with the RepeaterMatrix, although all settings of the field are identical to other installations. Still appreciating ideas on where to dig with this. In the meantime, I will manually setup a new RepeaterMatrix.

 

[aComAdi]

Update: manually created a new RepeaterMatrix and new image fields. Same results: the object returned does not contain the uploaded image.

Hi @aComAdi,

Just a wild guess. Have you tried setting the image field limit to 1?

Gideon

[aComAdi]

Hi @Gideon So,

Indeed I have. As a matter of fact, that is the intended setting, as only one image is allowed for the posting.

 

In this case when I dump the field, the response is Null

bd($inhaltszeile->wk_inhalt_start_links_bild);

If I switch Max Image settings to 0 (for debugging purposes), then I do recieve the above posted object back, but no images.

I honestly consider wiping the whole installation and starting new. Somethings is fishy here. I have also compared the settings of working vs non-working image fields. They seem identical:

}

Somewhere along the way, something went wrong with the installation and there's an issue with either permissions on the RepeaterMatrix level or the Templates.

[aComAdi]

I wiped the installation and started new. I am ending up at the same place. The RepeaterMatrix simply drops the fields of type Image.

That's the setup with a different item, but essentially having the same process as the original post above. Just replace wk_inhalt_start_links_bild with wk_inhalt_bilder :

Here I fill the fields successfully:

And when I dump the RepeaterMatrix item in the front-end, it's missing the image fields (wk_inhalt_bilder, wkinhaltbilder):

Starting to get desperate here.

hi aComAdi,

how did you solve the problem?

running into this... some years lager ?
