Newly Upload Photo

edk — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 03:20:47 GMT

After uploading a new photo, the photo no longer appears. Instead a blank. Like this:[img]http://atl.org/~ed/alfresco_photo_missing.png[/img]If I look at the image (from this URL https://{DNS NAME}/share/proxy/alfresco/api/node/workspace/SpacesStore/fa352df4-60f1-4a6d-8b0d-8efe169e52f1/content/thumb

You need to install ImageMagick and have "convert" somewhere on the path. There will have been a warning about it missing during start-up.

Thanks,

Well, I noticed that. I once got errors like this:

18:39:06,048 ERROR [org.alfresco.repo.content.transform.magick.AbstractImageMagickContentTransformer] ImageMagickContentTransformer not available: Failed to perform ImageMagick transformation: 
Execution result: 
   os:         Linux
   command:    [./ImageMagick/bin/convert, …
…‍‍‍‍‍

I had a copy of ImageMagick installed with the operating system, but it wasn't being recognized by Alfresco. So, I installed a new version of ImageMagick (6.4.8-8) and make a symbolic link from the alfresco directory to the installation directory of the ImageMagick. Now, I don't get the error message shown above. Now, there are no error messages about failure to find, or failure to convert the image.

Is there a log4j setting that will shed light on this?

Thanks for helping me out on this - your help is appreciated.

These will show you everything connected to Share's thumbnailing and transformations:

log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.content.transform=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.repo.thumbnail=debug
log4j.logger.org.alfresco.util.exec=debug‍‍‍

Now I'm getting some output. Here is the output when I upload a new photo (a png file):

Also, I noticed just now that the personal photo uploaded in share will display when in the alfresco explorer's profile editor. But it still does not show up in Share.

I am having the exact same issue (with alfresco 3Stable).

I have been distracted with problems with Alfresco and Share under JBoss… Once done, I'll return to this issue,

I managed to get it working (I think) on my OS X by adding errCodes to 2 in checkCommand property in the transformer.ImageMagick bean setting.

I'm also running into the same issue of getting a blank when uploading a profile photo in share. In Site Colleagues, it says "Avatar" but the image shows up in the profile on faces.

We're using 3 Labs.

I was facing the same problem, and fixed it by installing pdf2swf properly. If you notice errors regarding 'cant find pdf2swf' in /alfresco.log then this is most likely the problem.

Dont use apt-get install swftools, instead download it from the website, ./configure, make and make install. You will need zlib1 though.

Good luck.
