Thread: Security Image - Quick Fix

Are you on a dedicated or VPS server?

Double check that ImageMagick is installed (I assume it is, since the background shows) - and also ghostscript - which contains the required libs for the text processing.

You can check both by logging in SSH and running:

root@cp [~]# which mogrify

which should display something like
/usr/bin/mogrify

and
root@cp [~]# which ghostscript

which should display something like
/usr/bin/ghostscript

Also - make sure "Use GD" is disabled in your dating site admin panel in settings.

If all of that is checked and OK - then perhaps more /inc/image.inc.php editing is needed - but double check the above first before doing that.

Well, here's the situation. Imag Magik is installed. I'm not sure about ghost script. But, I have another Dolphin install on the same server which works fine. It is Dolphin 5.2 . Does 5.2 and 5.4 use different libraries?

This is how I would fix it....

First - make sure 100% that your "Use GD" is off in the admin panel - or you may be troubleshooting the wrong thing!

In /inc/images.inc.php - will see the function

function produceSecurityImage( $text, $hash )

That gets called from /simg/simg.php

Look in the else section (not using GD)

@exec( $cmd );

This is done two times - once to make the background image, and a second time to put the text on that image.

You could troubleshoot it by

1) edit the value for the preceeding

Code:

$cmd  = "$CONVERT {$dir['root']}simg/images/bg{$backgroundIndex}.png -crop {$sizeX}x{$sizeY}+{$backgroundOffsetX}+{$backgroundOffsetY} $workFilename";

$cmd  = "$CONVERT {$dir['root']}tmp/bg{$hash}.png -font $fontFile -fill \"{$color}\" -pointsize $fontSize -gravity NorthWest -draw \"translate {$textX},{$textY} rotate {$angle} text 0,0 '{$text}'\" $workFilename";

into something very basic and simple. Instead of using the variables in the cmd statements - hard code in or remove as needed. The goal is to get it to work - all the fancy stuff makes no difference now - you can re-add that in later.

2) If still trouble - run the command from $cmd statements in ssh - so you can see how ImageMagick behaves with them.

In Dolphin 5.6.4 - if text in security image does not show with ImageMagick in use, in /inc/images.inc.php

Code:

//$backgroundOffsetX = rand( 0, $backgroundSizeX - $sizeX - 1 );
//$backgroundOffsetY = rand( 0, $backgroundSizeY - $sizeY - 1 );
$backgroundOffsetX = 1;
$backgroundOffsetY = 1;

My security image was showing perfect and now is not showing what went wrong?
