image and upload elements create wrong URL after upgrade to 3.5.2

[robynlingen]

I am unable to get either the image element or the upload element to work. After entering a path to a folder inside my images folder, (images/staff-photos) I get a URL that duplicated that path. It looks like this:

http://my website/images/staff-photos/images/staff-photos

For the upload element, I get a path that looks like this:

http://my website/images/staff-photos/images

And the upload element then throws an error saying the folder does not exist.

Has anybody run into this before? If so, how did you fix it?

Thank you very much in advance.

I can see issues with the image element with frontend select:
List view is displaying such an image (http://my website/forlderpath/folderpath) if there's no image stored in the DB table.
But this seems to be an old issue, I can see the same behaviour in Fabrik3.4
From which version did you update?

I can't replicate with the fileupload.
What are your exact settings? (Ajax/non ajax, thumb, crop...)

I can't replicate this.

Try preceeding the path with a /

Thank you for your response. I did a fresh install of version 3.5.1 and then updated to 3.5.2 via the Joomla update system in the admin area. I tried several iterations including preceding the path with a /. I've put a couple of hours into adjusting various settings, but the path remains the same and neither field works. I uninstalled Fabrik, and then installed a fresh download of 3.5.2 and had to rebuild my list and form.

Using the image field is my preferred choice. I have now gotten a dropdown select to show on the form. The folder of images shows in the dropdown, but after selecting an image, it does not save, and the incorrect duplicated path is still in the front end.

The website I am working on is in a subdirectory. Do you think that would make a difference? As a workaround I have created a text field and dropped in html for the image. That is working, but it is not ideal as I would like editors to simply select a photo rather than enter html.

Here is a link to my list.

Sort to "administration" to see the photo.

Thanks again!

I'll need a login to be able to test. Fill out http://fabrikar/com/you/my-sites with a backend login.

BTW, is the server running on Linux or Windows?

Greetings and thank you for your reply. We are on a Linus server (cloud) at Siteground.

I have been away on another project, while bringing this one live. I am still unable to get this image field to work and so am hoping to glean some additional help. When I couldn't get either the image or the dropdown fields to work, I uploaded a CSV file with a path to images and set that into a text area field like this.

<img source="images/staff-photos/CyndeeFields2015.jpg" style="width:200px;height:300px;">

This image will load fine in a browser window, but in the text area field of Fabrik, it doesn't show at all. When inspecting the element, I see that it is defaulting to (image: 0 x 0 pixels) so the image is invisible. The wsywig editor wont load for me on this element either, so I'm kind of stuck. What am I doing wrong?

Also, whenever I'm working in Fabrik, I get a 503 about every 3-4 minutes. This doesn't happen working anywhere else in the site, articles, other components, etc. Are there any setting I should be aware of with this issue? There are only 300 records in this list, so it's not that big!

I can give you login credentials as well. Just let me know if you can help.

That's usually hitting a server resource limit of some sort, typically on a shared server where the host is limiting resources. I've never seen it happen on anything but low cost shared servers though.

Fabrik does use more memory, CPU and database cycles than anything else in J!, simply because what it does is so much more complex.

Thanks for your reply!

Well, I figured out my image issue. I was using source="... instead of src="... Duh. Can't believe I stared at that for hours and didn't see it. However, with that fixed, my images are displaying from within the text area field.

I discovered that the WYSWYG editor will show up just fine if I turn ajax off. But I really don't want editors using the WYSWYG for this field so am leaving it off.

We are on the cloud service with Siteground. I have multiple Fabrik lists running 30,000 rows or more on the lowest shared server they offer, and that site is running just fine. I'm getting a 503 about every 8 minutes when using Fabrik, but this list is small, so it just shouldn't be using that much CPU, in my opinion. For the fun of it, I'll report back if I discover a conflict or something along that line.
