Description

some images are printed, but some others are not, and they seem to need to have no other params params than the minimum, however, using standard syntax from a brand new tiki site embeds wiki pages with a syntax that mpdf is not able to make it just work, and images are not shown in the pdf produced.

Reproduced here:
http://seeds4c.org/Ubuntu+16.04+LTS+for+Human+Beans
(you can produce the pdf by yourself there)

Code that mpdf doesn't seem to like:

Copy to clipboard
{img src="display466" link="display466" width="400" rel="box[g]" imalign="center" desc="Click to expand" align="center" styleimage="border"} {img fileId="60" thumb="box"}


Code that mpdf seems to like:

Copy to clipboard
{img src="https://www.hecticgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Editing-the-disable_wol-script-in-Ubuntu-12.04.jpg"} {img src="display550" width=600}


(removed the examples with params like src="dl437&display" since they were written by the time when tiki accepted that oldish syntax by mistake)


Update:
In a production server in our work, no images are shown in the pdf at all, with neither syntax. Is there any log file with potential information on why no images are shown in the pdf produced by mpdf?
I confirm that we have php7.0.* and php modules gd, & mbstring installed server side.

I removed "19.x" categorization because branch 19 doesn't exist yet. The category "regression from version 18 to 19" is accurate here and already assigned.


Update answering luci (Why can't standard users reply to comments, such as my user "xavi" wit no admin rights? :-/ ). Answering here instead (lacking time):

  • replacing that old syntax with new and valid syntax (? intead of &) still yields some broken images in the pdf produced by mpdf. I granted access to amnabilal to a server where she can reproduce. I didn't hear any more feedback from her about it, but I confirm that this issue still exists in several servers of mine, with different setups.

Update: Default syntax with param thumb="box" keeps images away from the printed pdf (even with valid https cert and fully valid params aside of mpdf)
Example:

Copy to clipboard
{img fileId="60" thumb="box"}

Issue with thumb="box" or thumb="zoombox" for instance, confirmed still in 21.5vcs as of today

Solution
Fixed in 21.4? Issue with thumb="box" or thumb="zoombox" for instance, confirmed still in 21.5vcs as of today

Demonstrate Bug (Tiki 19+)
This bug has been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org
 Accessing the Tiki instance that demonstrates this bug

The URL for the show2.tiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://xavi-9794-6689.show2.tiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".

For the install log, see http://xavi-9794-6689.show2.tiki.org/info.txt

Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.

 Snapshots

Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show2.tiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.

Snapshots can be accessed at: http://xavi-9794-6689.show2.tiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
