EZImageManager issues - cannot create image alias

Thursday 27 November 2008 9:26:17 am

Bare with me, this requires a little bit of background.

- upgraded from 3.6.2 to 4.0.1
- ability to create images on 3.6.2 seemed to work properly
- after upgrade when try to upload image get the following error entries:

[ Nov 27 2008 17:07:04 ] [209.217.81.65] eZContentClassAttribute::attribute:
Attribute 'EZ_DATATYPESTRING_MAX_IMAGE_FILESIZE_FIELD' does not exist

[ Nov 27 2008 17:07:09 ] [209.217.81.65] :

[ Nov 27 2008 17:07:09 ] [209.217.81.65] eZImageManager::createImageAlias:
Failed creating the referenced alias reference, cannot create alias small

- after playing around I realized that I could get the system to create the image by triggering an error by leaving out the 'name' field. This would create the folders and create the image aliases (to a point) see blow. But still with this error logged:

[ Nov 27 2008 17:08:50 ] [209.217.81.65] eZContentClassAttribute::attribute:
Attribute 'EZ_DATATYPESTRING_MAX_IMAGE_FILESIZE_FIELD' does not exist
[ Nov 27 2008 17:08:52 ] [209.217.81.65] eZLocale:
Could not load country settings for
[ Nov 27 2008 17:08:52 ] [209.217.81.65] eZLocale:
Could not load language settings for array

I would then enter the name field for the image and all seemed well but again with this error logged:

[ Nov 27 2008 17:09:37 ] [209.217.81.65] eZContentClassAttribute::attribute:
Attribute 'EZ_DATATYPESTRING_MAX_IMAGE_FILESIZE_FIELD' does not exist

[ Nov 27 2008 17:09:38 ] [209.217.81.65] eZImageManager::createImageAlias:

[ Nov 27 2008 17:09:38 ] [209.217.81.65] :

[ Nov 27 2008 17:09:38 ] [209.217.81.65] eZImageManager::createImageAlias:
Failed creating the referenced alias reference, cannot create alias small

But then later realized that even with this it did not create all of the image alias' listed in the image.ini:
- reference
- small
- medium
- large
- levelone
- leveltwo
- levelthree

It only created:
- medium
- reference
- small

My question is simply why is it not creating all of the image aliases? Any suggestions where to look or settings to check?

I've wasted countless hours troubleshooting this issue only to end up right back at the beginning scratching my head.

Thanks in advance, Rob.

Hello,
I've the same problème,

[ Feb 16 2009 13:05:25 ] [217.128.63.112] eZImageManager::createImageAlias:
Failed converting var/fr/storage/images/diaporama/test-le-bar/368-1-fre-FR/test-Le-bar.jpg to alias 'reference' in directory 'var/fr/storage/images/diaporama/test-le-bar/368-1-fre-FR'
[ Feb 16 2009 13:05:25 ] [217.128.63.112] eZImageManager::createImageAlias:

has anyone experiment that?

My Image.ini settings are :

[ImageMagick]
IsEnabled=true
ExecutableUnix=convert
ExecutablePath=/usr/bin/

[AliasSettings]
AliasList[]=logo
AliasList[]=photo_chef
AliasList[]=diapo_photo
AliasList[]=image_carte
AliasList[]=arrete_image


[logo]
Reference=reference
Filters[]=geometry/scaleexact=761;77

[photo_chef]
Reference=reference
Filters[]=geometry/scaleexact=513;118

[diapo_photo]
Filters[]=geometry/scaleexact=400;224

[image_carte]
Reference=reference
Filters[]=geometry/scaleexact=246;176

[arrete_image]
Reference=reference
Filters[]=geometry/scaleexact=241;89

No matter, convert exists in /usr/bin and apache has access to that directory.

Thanks..
