Not Able to Link Logo to PDF Invoice

Is it a jpeg or gif file? If you change it from a URL to a directory location does it work? Your server may have the allow_url_fopen disabled, or you may be missing the GD image manipulation library.

Hi, Sidney. It is a jpeg file. Here is the URL that I pasted into the URL field in the invoice payment gateway.

http://dev.hdihawaii.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/image001.jpg

Not sure how to do that (change from URL to directory location).

Do I need to check with my host to have that enabled, if so?

Where can I find the GD image manipulation library? Is this something that is downloaded from EE or from WP?

Please advise. I’d really like to have the logo on the invoices.

Thanks.

Hi Ronald,

To clarify, you have added the URL to the Logo URL field in the Invoice settings?

Can you make sure that there are no spaces at the start and end of the URL please?

Hello Dean,

Yes, that is correct, added to the Invoice Payment Setting. Checked it again and there are no spaces at the start or the end of the URL.

Please advise.

OK, was worth checking the simple things!

Next check, please go to http://dev.hdihawaii.com/wp-admin/options.php and search for image_default_link_type and make sure the field next to it contains the word file. If it doesn’t add it and save and see if that helps.

Can you also go to Event Espresso > System Status and click the generate report button at the top, then copy and paste the details here please?

Hello Dean:

Yes, image_default_link_type had the word “file” in the field next to it.

Hope the report below helps:

The GD library is a php library that allows php to manipulate image files. Your host more than likely has it installed already.
Can you download this plugin, install and activate it, then go to Tools->Event Espresso Requirements Check and tell us what it says next to ‘PHP equipped with GD image manipulation library’ and ‘PHP allowed to open files over url protocol’? (Those aren’t in the regular version, I just added them in)

Hello, When I click on the link to check my PHP Info, I get taken to a 404 Not Found page. Please advise.


Dean

Hi,

I tested the download above and the plugin worked fine here, it should look like this http://take.ms/SxIv0

Hi.

The plugin works fine and I can see that screen, but it doesn’t show the GD Image Manip. setting. I have to click on a link to see more details, and when I do, I get taken to a 404 page.

Something must be wrong on my server/with my hosting. Please advise.


Dean

Hi Ronald,

The server config is set up in a way that the Requirements plugin cant detect everything. It may be a good idea to have a quick word with your host to see if the GD library is installed or not.

Hey, Dean:

This is the response I got back from my host:

“PHP supports image manipulation library and I have enabled fopen in the php.ini file so that you can open files in php.”

But when I try to link a logo to PDF invoice in EE, I still get the same error message.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Is it possible to get your login details in order to look into this?

If so, please send them via https://eventespresso.com/send-login-details/

NOTE: login details need to be Admin level and FTP details are appreciated.

Also can you advise which file in the Media Library you are trying to use for the logo?


Ronald Aoki

February 4, 2014 at 8:22 pm

Dean,

Please advise if you received my PHP report URL.

Thank you.


Dean

February 5, 2014 at 12:18 am

Hi,

Yes we got that info, but I wanted to test out the actual media file on your site to see if there is a different reason why it is not working.

The login details do not seem to work, can you clarify these please? (via email)

Also please remove the phpinfo() file from your site when not in active use, it’s a security risk to leave it available.


Ronald Aoki

February 5, 2014 at 3:23 am

Will do. Thank you.


Dean

February 6, 2014 at 12:53 am

Hi,

Thanks again for the login details.

Everything is still pointing towards a server issue. The last message from your host said “I have enabled fopen in the php.ini”

Is it possible to confirm that in the php.ini it definitely has allow_url_fopen = on ?

The error is suggesting that this is not “on” but the message from your host suggests it is.


Ronald Aoki

February 6, 2014 at 1:46 am

Dean,

I just checked the PHP info again and it is set to OFF. It was not enabled after all. Sent them a request to enable it, so hopefully it should be ready to test again from your side by tomorrow.

Thank you for all of your hard work and for helping me. I really appreciate it.


Dean

February 6, 2014 at 1:55 am

No problem. You can test it easily once you get the OK from the host, just add an image in the Invoice settings and try to download an invoice. If it throws an error let me know.

It works! Thank you, Dean, for all of your help! Case closed.
