Stickers

[spd2612]

I can not get stickers to display any info
Im on IIS 10
php 7.4
GD is enabled
Im using these links to test

https://hurricanepub.com/plugins/sticke ... 2=dark_red

GD Test https://hurricanepub.com/plugins/stickers/gdtest.php

There are no errors in the error log

Also there is no save button in the configure for stickers is that normal ?

[spd2612]

Ok I created a simple PHP file and tested it from the stickers directory and it creates and prints

https://hurricanepub.com/plugins/stickers/test.php

this is the code I used

Code: Select all

<?php
// Create a blank image and add some text
$im = imagecreatetruecolor(120, 20);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5,  'A Simple Text String', $text_color);

// Set the content type header - in this case image/jpeg
header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');

// Output the image
imagejpeg($im);

// Free up memory
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Meteotemplatelive.txt is on the server and updating, but still no print out on my stickers
Anyone have a Idea as to what is happening here ??

Sorry sir,

I still have not fixed my dev environment with v7.4.24 or v8. But I can tell you v7.4.24 works with your link on my site.

[spd2612]

I have my PHP on 7.4.13 and it does not work
There has to be a way to diagnose this I am getting no errors

[spd2612]

I Finally forced a error out of this
How can I fix these errors

PHP Deprecated: Array and string offset access syntax with curly braces is deprecated in E:\hurricanepub\plugins\stickers\stickerInteractiveAnim.php on line 1057

there are multiple lines with that issue

Spoke to soon none of them errors for stickersinteractive.php
they are just in stickerInteractiveAnim.php which i find strange

Try phpstorm trial version for debugging. If your website is locally networked, you should be able to debug directly.

You can try this modified script, I only modified line 200 and 203 ( from "fonts" to "./fonts" )
Maybe you only have a font path problem ( I had the same problem with a few old scripts of mine )

P.S.
In the stickers plugin settings there is no save button

That does not work either
when i refresh stickerinteractive with all logging on i get this error
stickerInteractive.php

[21-Oct-2021 08:15:46 America/New_York] PHP Deprecated: Directive 'allow_url_include' is deprecated in Unknown on line 0

That is just a warning though

This should not be this big of a issue

Can you provide a copy of your virtual machine ( in a format compatible with vmware player )?

[spd2612]

Do you mean of that whole server
My servers are all virtual running on esxi7.0

Sorry, not familiar with 'that thing'.
I think you should pinpoint the problem with a simple script like the attached one ( it works on my server ).
It should create a 400x200 red image with a white "Hello world"
If the writing is not shown the only culprit should be the 'imagettftext' in line 12 and the only reason for this should be that php does not find the font ( so you need to modify the font definition in line 4, using a relative/absolute path, specifying a 'system' font... )
Clearly not sure about that.

P.S.
You could try in line 4:

Code: Select all

$font = realpath("./Roboto-Bold.ttf");        // font ( need to specify font with path )

or something like that

P.P.S.
Another thing to check ( don't remember if already checked ) is freetype support in php:


P.P.P.S.
As a last resort you could use the imagestring function ( you already found working correctly ):
use imageloadfont to load a bitmap font ( you need one font for each size used ) and write it with imagestring.
This is without antialiasing so the look could be a little 'pixelated'

We need an error showing what's going wrong.
Try adding this at the top of the script:

Code: Select all

ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

Or try adding some error logging via php.ini/.htaccess ( see this or similar links )

[spd2612]

I have tried that
unable to get errors
with the below code in hello.php nothing displays
I can not get a error out of this
check the link and you will see how the code kills it

http://hurricanepub.com/plugins/stickers/hello.php

Code: Select all

<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);

$w = 400;
$h = 200;
$font = "../fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf";        // font ( need to specify font with path )
$size = 24;							// text size

$img = imagecreatetruecolor($w, $h);
$bgColor = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 0, 0);				// background color ( RGB format ) -> red
$fontColor = imagecolorallocate($img, 255, 255, 255);		// text color ( RGB format ) -> white
imagefilledrectangle($img, 0, 0, $w, $h, $bgColor);

imagettftext($img, $size, 0, 40, 80, $fontColor, $font, "Hello world");

header("Content-type: image/png");
imagepng($img);
imagedestroy($img);
?>

I have error reporting turned on and if i open the hello.php in firefox i get a error message saying it can not be displayed because it contains errors
stickerinteractive.php will still open no print of course

[davidefa]

Ok, comment the last 3 lines and you should be able to see the 'underlying error'

Code: Select all

//header("Content-type: image/png");
//imagepng($img);
//imagedestroy($img);

[spd2612]

Damn
getting somewhere here is error

Warning: imagettftext(): Could not find/open font in E:\hurricanepub\plugins\stickers\hello.php on line 15

This is line 15

imagettftext($img, $size, 0, 40, 80, $fontColor, $font, "Hello world");

[davidefa]

Try to set the absolute path to your font ( in line 8 ), this should be ok:

Code: Select all

$font = "E:/hurricanepub/plugins/stickers/Roboto-Bold.ttf";        // font ( need to specify font with path )

Not sure if you need to use backslash, in this case use:

Code: Select all

$font = "E:\\hurricanepub\\plugins\\stickers\\Roboto-Bold.ttf";        // font ( need to specify font with path )

[davidefa]

Ok, it seems working now

[spd2612]

I got it to remove the error by using
e:/hurricanepub/plugins/stickers/fonts/Roboto-Bold.ttf

then i uncomented the last three lines and Hellow world is there

Now what to do to fix stickers

[davidefa]

If you want to use stickerInteractive.php change lines from 199 to 204 to:

Code: Select all

	if(isset($_GET['font'])){
		$fontFace = "e:/hurricanepub/plugins/stickers/fonts/".$_GET['font'].".ttf";
	}
	else{
		$fontFace = "e:/hurricanepub/plugins/stickers/fonts/Ubuntu-Regular.ttf";
	}

[spd2612]

looks great

I would imagine i would have to do the same to stickerInteractiveAnim.php
Tget that to work

[spd2612]

Thanks a lot this has been driveing me nuts

I changed stickersinteractiveanim.php and it seems a little messed up

[spd2612]

This Works
