Images disappear (I think it is solved)

Finally i have found this bug, which is related to the browers. The browser was, to be straight, rather completely disfunctional in the last 2 releases and cause those errors. Will be fixed in 2.4

Please see: http://www.modell-helling.de/node/72

The user included his pictures yesterday. I saw it myslef in working condition.
However today, the pictures are partly gone.

I went with edit into his post and found this:

For the part that is showing the pictures at the beginning of the post it reads like:
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:45:]]

For the part where the pictures have gone it reads:
[[wysiwyg_imageupload::]]

As far I am aware, nothing was changed manually.

I understood this was supposed to be fixed with 2.4 and that is what I am using.

All I changed is to set a new filter within Views WYSIWYG Image Upload Browser as described here: http://drupal.org/comment/reply/952182/3624834

Is this a configuration issue or related to the Module itself?

Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

I have a similar problem. When I use the browser I have 5 pages and the first 3 are empty. The last two pages show images. When I look at the wysuwyg_imageupload_entity table I have 28 rows. Is there a definition of the structure of this table? Is it safe to delete rows for images that aren't being used?

I have the sam problem ,,, in the editor is showing the image but in user side is showing [[wysiwyg_imageupload:3:]] only!

@6 diffeerent issue, read the docs _AND_ FAQ!

Looks like I have the same problem with images disappearing with 6.x-2.4. The image lasted for a few days and then just vanished. Classic [[wysiwyg_imageupload:XX:]] only seen where the image should be. Also, image is gone from the filesystem and does not show up in the 'browser'.

@8: Thats exactly the case we are talking about here. This edge case really drives me crazy.

Hi EugenMayer

I think I got the same issue
"some" of my images disappear when I see in the CKeditor it look like this " [[wysiwyg_imageupload::]] "
"the number" between :: has lost ! (it should be [[wysiwyg_imageupload:xx:]] ) and there is no images which disappeared in folder "wysiwyg_imageupload" but it just some.
so it made me go crazy too whether any of my image will be lost in the future or not :(
and I think it 's critical problem.

Thank for any help

Sorry, but there is no problem .... its input filter ;)

THX

@11. If there is no problem, why do a lot of people have issues with images disappearing? If its input filter, then how would you suggest rectifying the situation - using a particular wysiwyg editor? using a particular input filter (ie, full html)? Please advise.

(For issue tracking housekeeping, do we update the version on this ticket to 6.x-2.4 or create another bug attached to 6.x-2.4 version and close this as a duplicate issue. Since its evident in both versions.)

jap, 2.4. Good catch

with 2.5, this problem will be gone forever.

I have reimplemented the whole nodeapi / cache process and iam not using cache anymore. Basically 2.5 is has ~150 lines of code lesser, taking out the whole cache / cache transfer / cache maintance code.

Instead of caching which files have been "inserted", i simply scan the body using the same pattern i use for the filter. So it is 100% assured that a image, which is in the body will be persisistend on save.

With the cache aproach, there seem to come up edge-cases ( i covered a lot during patching ) where the cache gets out of sync and therefore files dont get persistated ( and dissapear later ).

Thank you so much for the help and dedication Eugen, this really saved my day.

Well the only way this can happen is, that those images where not persentent already and have been uploaded with 2.4.

Is that right?

well actually i cant think about any case were this could happen at all. As the content is scanned like using the content filter, it does match all pictures actually can be showed ( are shown ).

i really need more infos here or thoughts

I have experienced the same problem with 2.8. Re-uploaded a file (with the same file name) which disappeared before using an older version. Checked 2 days later.. and it was gone. However, 3 completely new images are still persistent. (Important to note that when re-uploading, I removed the broken image, saved the node, edited it again with the new upload, and saved.)

Hope this helps!

How was / is the filename? Can you reproduce it all the time ( using this image?)

Just to clarify, temporary=1 means "delete it on cleanup". But it wont help just setting this 1 to 0, you also need to set the file in files, using the fid relation, and set status there.

What happend on #23 is, that the nodapi hook has never been called, thats why nid is zero and temporary is 1.
What actaully wonders me is, why temporary is 1 and not a timestamp, which it actaully should be.

Are those pictures uploaded in nodes or comments? Any speciality on those nodes?

Ah! Well CCK is not supported ( yet ), so that actually an expected behavior.

But what about #24? Also CCK?

No currently not. You can open a feature request but dont expect me to work on it in the near future. I will write done a raw outline on how to implement it, but i guess you will need to find somebody / book somebody to implement it.

Lets see whether polskikrol has the same issue ( CCK )

@32: i would bet on this.

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly am I checking? I have reuploaded the image and will see if it disappears again.

And the image has disappeared again :[

@35 are you uploading the images to a CCK textarea?

Yes, uploading it to a CCK 'Text area (multiple rows)'.
Content Construction Kit (CCK) 6.x-3.x-dev

well then the case is clear, please read the uppoer. CCK fields are yet not supported, so overything works as designed.

Open a feature request if needed

Hi Eugen
Thanks for all the effort you've put into this module. Maybe I didn't read the documentation properly but its only after having my images disappearing that I found this thread and realized that this module doesn't work with CCK text fields. Maybe this should be stated more clearly on the projects homepage? I hope I dont come across as unappreciative, just a thought.
Thanks

Well. I've got a new 2.8 install, with no previous versions installed, no cck fields: and I get the described problem.
I just see the box with a number.
But what I've noted is that the images don't really show up.
When I upload an image I see it, save it and everything is fine and dandy. Until I open the same page on another browser. Where I can't see it. And in fact if I restart the browser with which I uploaded the image, it will not show up.
Which leads me to think, I was seeing the posted image from the browsers local cache.

I was wondering if this grants reopening the case?

thanks

@40: total different issues. Please have a look at the FAQ, specificaly the imagecache issues ( memory ) and /or open a new issue.

Thanks for the tip!
