Could it be to have to do with caching the template? Did you check the newer link was active at the display of the article?

Following up:

After consulting the analyst at surpass, the answer....:

"Unfortunately, we can't help you troubleshoot this issue as it is third-party software related. Please check in with the vendor of this third party software to make sure all the server needs are met and it is properly up to date"

Hi ghia

Thanks for your input here

But now guess what?

My "yesterday solution" isn´t working anymore.
The call to "/modules/news/makepdf.php?storyid= " generates a blank page.

I´ll have to check with host if there is something wrong with makepdf.php file


For now i´ve just commented out the link on "news_article.html" template file.

Sad but true

Hi,

Easiest solution is to make sure all images are on site.

I don't know why external images fail. Some sites may have a leeching protect for their images. If all external images fail, then you can try to find the routines for incorporating the images in the pdf and see why they fail.

The pdf making routines are based on standalone PHP scripts. http://www.fpdf.org/ http://www.tcpdf.org/ There may be newer versions of it. By using the same hacks of the existing (old) version on the new version you might upgrade the scripts. It is maybe also possible to test the newer version stand alone with a html page created by saving the html source of one of your news pages.

Good luck and regards,
Gerard.
