Hello,
i want to show a background image in my invoice but the invoice will generated (with logo) but the background image will not shown...

i get the following error in debug modus

Warning: getimagesize(www.gelebtetraeume.de/testumgebung/image...liger_Geist_Foto.png) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized in .../web/testumgebung/administrator/components/com_vminvoice/helpers/invoicepdf.php on line 177


i try it with images from my site which use in other joomla articles... png and jpg.
i try to disable safe mode but nothing.
i change the image path but it works only with "relative with path" in other case no invoice will shown and i get one error more:

Warning: getimagesize(www.gelebtetraeume.de/testumgebung/images/stories/key.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized in .../web/testumgebung/administrator/components/com_vminvoice/helpers/invoicepdf.php on line 177

Hello. I see it. That is partially bug, that background image is always inserted as absolute URL, so "paths" setting doesen't apply for it. We will fix that.

And since your testing site is behing HTTP authentication, it cannot be loaded. When you remove HTTP authentication or move to live site, it will work.

ok ...

at first i hope that i don't get you to the wrong path because of my changing the paths in the error message... i deleted the begin of the url because i am thinking it is for security reasons not so good to show the right path of my server.


1. testing with absolute path and without an HTTP authentication

i get the following errors (debug modus):

at the beginning of the code

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /xxxxx/.xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/testumgebung/administrator/components/com_vminvoice/tcpdf/tcpdf.php on line 7544

at the end:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when safe_mode is enabled or an open_basedir is set in /xxxxx/.xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/xxxxx/testumgebung/administrator/components/com_vminvoice/tcpdf/tcpdf.php on line 7544

shop logo is displayed

2. testing with "relative with path" and without an HTTP authentication

same errors ...

shop logo is displayed

3. testing with "relative" and without an HTTP authentication

same errors ...

shop logo ist not displayed...

Many thanks

That warnings are ok. It states that with your server settings CURL library cannot follow redirects. (For example if your images are generated by script that inserts Location: header.. That's hardly anybody's case.). Mote important, is background working?

no not yet ...
is there a other way for testing maybe i had to change something with the picture?
Many Thanks
Jewanda

And did you turn off HTTP authentication?
