Observed behavior

Trying to navigate the url given in the 'not found' <img src='/site/connectors/system/phpthumb.php?src=assets%252Fvideo-iframe.png&w=100&h=0&HTTP_MODAUTH=modx64e51c266752a2.30117216_164f338950c1714.28557021&f=png&q=90&wctx=mgr&source=1&t=1693977472&ar=x'>
I get:

Expected behavior

Thumbnails should work.

Environment

3.1.0-dev
PHP 7.4.30
Apache 2.4
Mysql 5.7.17

ModX 2.8.4 works in the same environment as expected.

It seems that there has been an update to the phpThumb library (that is used by MODX to create thumbnails) that is not compatible with PHP 7.4. But I believe this issue has to be fixed in phpThumb and not in MODX.

The problem is this pull request:
https://github.com/JamesHeinrich/phpThumb/pull/216/files

For a quick fix, you could either change the PHP version to at least 8.0, or delete the word mixed from the line here:

halftrainedharry's solution worked. Many thanks!
SVG previews still not working, but it is another story.

rthrash · 2023-09-06T15:56:36Z

SVGs maybe shouldn't try generating thumbnails and just be passed through w/o a thumbnail?

DmitryFX · 2023-09-06T15:59:51Z

SVGs maybe shouldn't try generating thumbnails and just be passed through w/o a thumbnail?

Agree, but it looks, that phpthumb tries to make the preview and gives the following errors:

[2023-09-06 15:54:08] (DEBUG @ D:\site\site_www\core\src\Revolution\Sources\modMediaSource.php : 2376) assets/settings.svg has a mime type of: image/svg

[2023-09-06 15:54:08] (WARN @ D:\site\site_www\core\src\Revolution\Sources\modMediaSource.php : 1962) PHP notice: Trying to access array offset on value of type bool

Interesting:
Accessing .svg file directly via phpthumb connector gives the proper svg document in the browser.

http://localhost/site/connectors/system/phpthumb.php?src=assets%252Fsettings.svg&w=100&h=0&HTTP_MODAUTH=modx64e51c266752a2.30117216_164f338950c1714.28557021&f=png&q=90&wctx=mgr&source=1&t=1693977472&ar=x

But in the media browser svg preview looks as follows:

<img src="" data-src="" loading="lazy" width="100" height="80" alt="settings.svg" title="settings.svg">

halftrainedharry · 2023-09-06T16:51:13Z

SVGs maybe shouldn't try generating thumbnails and just be passed through w/o a thumbnail?

This should already be implemented. There are exceptions in the code for SVGs:

revolution/core/src/Revolution/Sources/modMediaSource.php

Lines 2238 to 2246 in 8feb62f

    
           protected function buildManagerImagePreview($path, $ext, $width, $height, $bases, $properties = []) 
        
           { 
        
               $size = $this->getImageDimensions($path, $ext); 
        
               if (is_array($size) && $size['width'] > 0 && $size['height'] > 0) { 
        
                   if ($ext == 'svg') { 
        
                       $size['src'] = $bases['urlAbsolute'] . ltrim($path, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR); 
        
                       return $size; 
        
                   }

When I test it, it seems to work correctly (at least in MODX 3.0.3-pl).

Hi @opengeek sorry to bug you on this one but it'd be epic to get a release out with this fix.

People (like me and many other) stiil get updates websites and catches thumbnail bugs! Community chat warming with reports, manual codefixes coming to the wild...

But v2.8.7 milestone is only 58% complete, may be we can flush it faster?

rthrash · 2024-03-26T14:18:05Z

Work is definitely happening @dimasites … some of the issues/PRs may not make the 2.8.7 release depending on testing and feedback, but the important phpThumb one definitely will.

We will be releasing it very soon. I would not pay much attention to the milestones—issues and PRs tend to get assigned to them with little regard for reality.

dimasites · 2024-03-26T16:56:46Z

Thanks @opengeek and @rthrash for answers!

But for critical bugs please (it is only my point) lets make immidiate solutions! May be even hotfix-release with revert bad commit, because problems like this, make damage to friendliness and popularity of MODX.

I know about PHP 7.4 lifetime (yes, it is over), but we all knows: many and many MODX sites use PHP 7.4, much more then PHP8...

And I'll show you confirmation that it's critical.

See screenshots with stat, based on ~4.2k MODX Apps (components) install/upgrade/uninstall over last ~15 months (with only about 50% of Russian because its from MODX RSC data-source:

All additional screen for representation:

Based on this stats, we see over 95% MODX website's affected the bug, and even this stats not 100% accurate, even half of MODX users is overmuch

I think, we need (or must) to be more responsible with critical bug fixing! it is not security issue, but strog Developer UX issue...

P.S. I cant and dont want to make any pressure, but want stronly highlight problem!

Also i hope my examples and arguments were at least informative for you, thank you for your attention! And very thanks for working on such a wonderful project as MODX!
