When I right-click the not-found image in your test post, this is the URL:

It looks like two TextImage URLs pasted together. It even refers to two different images. I can’t see how the plugin could do that. Could you please do two things?

1. Carefully check the post to make sure you haven’t nested the tags, or something like that.
2. Recheck the TextImage cache URL in the TextImage Options page. Copy the whole thing and paste it into a text editor so you can see it all.

Thanks

this is the cache directory and the test.txt can be found

So…

Tia for the help!

I assume your image cache directory is in the plugins directory, so it should be accessible to Apache, since you’ve chmodded everything.

Check that your image cache URL works. To make it easy, put a text file in the image cache, and try to bring it up in a browser using the image cache url: /test.txt.

If that works, I’m pretty much stumped for now. It seems strange that nothing is showing up. Are you enclosing your entire post in the tags? If so, try a post with just one word between the tags, and other text around it.

Let me know if that works or doesn’t.

I installed your plugin and it seems to be very usefull, I only have one problem. It doesn’t work. I use WP 2.7.1 and I use version 0.22 of your plugin. I did everything like you described in the readme, I even chmodded my whole plugin directory including all folders and files to 777. When I post something it doesn’t appear on my site! Only the title appears. When I look in the cache directory the image IS there. So what should I do to make this work? Thanks in advance,

Marko

Thanks for the question, and I apologize for being so slow. I’ve just tested and TextImage 0.21 works OK under WordPress 2.6.

Try this:
1. Make sure you have entered a valid cache directory (that Wordpress can write to, and that has an URL on your server) in the TextImage admin screen.
2. Set a font height, text color (try 0) and background color (try 0xffffff).
3. Enclose the text you want converted in tags. You will need to edit in HTML mode to do this.

Let me know if these don’t work (and if you haven’t already given up in frustration … sorry again for being so slow)

Thanks for the code. It’s a good idea and I’ll fold it in when I have a chance. Can’t say when that will be though; the paying job is taking up all my time now.

imagesavealpha($image, true);
imagealphablending($image, false);
$transparentColor = imagecolorallocatealpha($image, 200, 200, 200, 127);
imagefill($image, 0, 0, $transparentColor);

I also use imagecreatetruecolor instead of imagecreate. Not sure if that matters.

If you were to add this, I would definitely use your plugin.
