News 1.56 White page PDF errors! The Bug = TCPDF error: Unsupported image type: php?id=

When you click on the Pdf icon inside a news story the website gives you a white page with my error below.

TCPDF error: Unsupported image type: php?id=64

There has already been a post on instant zero about it. But it seems to be low on the list to fix.

I've been searching around some more. It looks like TCPDF does not support gif files. Wonderful because the XOOPS logo is pulled into the pdf by default.

So how does one go about getting XOOPS to pull a .png or .jpg instead of the logo.gif from public_html/images/logo.gif


Now we know what the problem is we just need a work around.

This issue was posted wrong the error has nothing to do with the XOOPS logo. But in finding this out I did nail down how to change your XOOPS logo.gif to a .png or .jpg

In

public_html/modules/news look for

backendt.php & print.php

Now search for the word logo. Now you can replace the image with what ever you want.

I made another post in regards to making a .pdf in news with lightbox enabled error. Which you can see here

Maybe it's an idea to upgrade TCPDF to the latest version (TCPDF 2.1.000) which seems to support JPG, PNG and GIF image formats.

See here at SourceForge.

Quote:
TCPDF 2.1.000 for both PH4 and PHP5 were released!

This is a main release that includes dozens of new features and bugfixes. The main feature is probably the automatic support for bidirectional languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, etc. Several graphic functions were added.

- includes a method to print various barcode formats using an improved version of "Generic Barcode Render Class" by Karim Mribti (http://www.mribti.com/barcode/) (require GD library: http://www.boutell.com/gd/)

Thanks for the post McDonald... I will give this a shot tonight. Its 6 megs and on my connection will take all day. Since it was your post on one of the other topics concerning tcpdf and tinycontent or something.

Do you think the auto format/bbcode needed by extgallery hook hack would jam up pdf creation?

Or is the error directly related to the file format only. In my case it would be a .jpg picture?
