Pictures missing when outputting report to web

Nick-V · Post by **Nick-V** » 27 Mar 2010 21:24

I want to publish a photo library on the web as part of my web site.

I have included the add-on report 'Individual Multimedia Report'.

173 people are selected to this report using a custom query that identifies people having multimedia.

All people show and it mostly works however sometimes people have no pictures and sometimes not all pictures are shown (not the max pics setting!).

The report always works perfectly when run normally. However, there is a bug in the generation of the HTML of that report for the web. The file contains no reference to the pics even tho the person is included.

So, there is a bug. Is there a fix, or perhaps another way to achieve this rather simple requirement?

What setting are you using for Living people, from memory pictures are not shown by default for living people if you are using the details suppression.

With all Internet privacy options switched off the same still happens.

As mentioned, I actually get some people where not all pics are shown (one pic is and the other is not) so discounted this.

How do others publish all pics ?

And with reference to my other posting how do others publish diagrams ?

The ISP for the site you are uploading to may not allow spaces or other charactors such as *&^%$£'!)( in the file name. You should get some sort of error message when uploading telling you the file has not been uploaded.

I am the ISP, I run my own servers.

It appears there are demonstrable software issues. The order of reports in the TOC has an effect and in addition to missing photos, I see some photos despite the private flag.

Calico now has my data and is investigating.

Just to throw another thought into the works. Is it memory related? I note that FH likes to load everything into memory.

Current thoughts are that it is indeed memory related. I have agreed to check memory usage at runtime and test a lower memory version at some point.

However, memory related problems do not tend to affect the same data every time !
