CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm using Joomla 1.0.13 and Civicrm 1.9

I created a custom data field (of type file) to store a picture for each contact.

When looking at the contact form the administrator panel, the filename is showed and after clicking on it, the picture is displayed (I read in a post that civicrm detects the extencion jpg and gif and displays the image, but apparently is not so (i guess is in a different context).

The main problem is that we crated a profile to show our contacts as a list in the front end and when the contact is displayed (it's Visibility is "Public User Pages and Listings"), the name of the file is displayed but if we click on the file name we receive the error message:  You do not have permission to execute this url.

The profile is for unregistered users but I tried also with registered users and still no permission.

I have other custom data (of the same custom group) being shown in the same profile.

 So the question is: any idea what are we missing?

Thanks

Ok,

I created a profile at the dupal demo site ID=35 (with the name Public_photo_test_profile), and created a household with the name: Photo test household  (Photo)

But I don't know who to create a public page (search/list) with this profile without administrator access.

How do I test it?

That's strange,

What type of file did you upload, because I uploaded a jpg and it shows the link instead of the image:

http://demo.civicrm.org/drupal/civicrm/profile/view?reset=1&id=1163&gid=35

But besides that, once clicked it does show the picture, so at least now we know that it must be a "bug" in the civicrm joomla frontend version.

So the question now is what do I report, one or two bugs?

Ilan

I uploaded a few images of different sizes and weights (id's form 976 to 983).

All the gif images are shown fine

none of the jpg images are shown (instead the link is shown)

It would be good to find why I can't show jpg images when "kurund" was able, but more intriguing is why at the joomla demo site there is no problem of permissions and in my site there are, what could be wrong with my installation?

Where should I start checking?

Ilan

Ilan,

Since you can see gif images correctly, i don't think its some configuration problem. Might be some problem with your jpeg images.

Can you check your, Administer CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Upload Directories. Make sure its correctly set..

Not sure if it is related to Joomla configuration..

I'm still stuck on this one.

Expecting to find a problem with the installation, I backed up my site, then removed civicrm eliminating all its tables and files, and reinstalled the component, but still the same error, I can't show images at the front page (see first post of this thread).

I really think that could be a problem with my configuration of joomla, maybe someone has access to the config file of the demo site where the images are shown correctly in the front page.

Another option that I can think of, is to hack civicrm to open the security check for uploaded files (in our case the images are always public). Can someone point out to me where the security checks for file display is handled?

Thanks again
Ilan
