"View as PDF" does not include avatars

hi,

I am troubleshooting some problem where "View as PDF" sometimes does not work for discussions. Right now I am not at a point where I can surely reproduce that problem. Sometimes PDF get generated other times not.

But I found another problem with as PDFs that get generated. The avatar images do not show up in the PDF.

This is a screenshot of the thread:

And this is the PDF (it is also attached).

These are our customized FTLs:

/template/decorator/default/header-favicon.ftl
/template/decorator/default/page-footer.ftl
/template/global/custom-css.ftl
/template/global/include/view-profile-friends-list.ftl
/template/global/people.ftl
/template/global/unauth.ftl
/template/global/user-bar.ftl
/template/global/view-profile.ftl
/template/socialgroup/socialgroup-form.ftl

I attached the log files catalina.out clearspace.log.

best regards,

Nils

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

I reread one older bug with pdfs that we/you still did not figure out.

http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/message/144901#144901

There is an advice in there to remove the avatars in jiveHome/attachments/cache/. I tried that that did not help. So I did a restart no improvement. Even worse. Now, I can not produce any of PDFs.

The logfiles uploaded before are just after the restart.

UPDATE:

After a short break, PDF are getting generated again. I did not change anything. I just had a cigarette.

This is what the cataline.out says when a PDF is successfully generated:

Hi Nils,

Can you send me your logs as they are now (after PDF stopped working altogether)? Are you using Weblogic? Another customer has run into a similar issue and it was caused by a misconfiguration with Weblogic. Are you still using Clearspace 2.5.17?

Thanks,

Hey Nils,

Can you send me all of your theme files. This is located in jiveHome/themes. The Admin Console home page will list the location of your jiveHome directory. I would like to load up your theme locally so that I can isolate whether or not this issue is related to your theme.

Thanks,

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Avatars are also missing in blogposts, too.

Documents do not print comments, so it looks like a general "View as PDF".

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hey Nils,

I was able to reproduce this issue by modifying my jiveURL system property. In the Admin Console, go to System > Settings > System Properties and look for jiveURL. Please verify that this is exactly as it appears in your URL bar, without a trailing slash. For example,

http://www.lufthansa.de/online/community

Let me know if this helps.

This is a screenshot from SystemPrefs

and this one from the browser showing the startpage.

Both match in my point of view. If not please give me a short hint.

Maybe https is a problem?

Hi Nils,

The jiveURL does not appear to be the problem. Can you see if the server can access itself using that URL? Try performing a wget from the server:

wget https://eteaming.staging.ebase.dlh.de

I will see if the issue could be related to using https.

we added the name of the server in the /etc/hosts file

Now, it can do a wget, but on the local tomcat port (10500). Port 80 and 443 are the ports of the login server.

Hi Nils,

I have filed a bug for this issue. The bug ID is CS-17471. The filter that is set up to handle converting the document to prepare it for converting to PDF does not handle avatar images. Let me know if you have more questions about this.

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hi Cory,

The avatars are now rendered for threads; but the result is ugly, the text is printed over the picture. This seems to be a beta-status "solution"... :-(

For blogposts and comments on these still no avatars are rendered within the PDF (but maybe this works as designed - at least there is no empty space on the PDF where one would expect the avatar to be rendered).

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hi Detlev,

The avatar in your profile is taller than the standard avatar size, which is causing this problem. I tried testing this locally on a 2.5.18 install, but the image I uploaded was simply made shorter and skinner rather than tall and just as wide. Did you sync your profile photos via LDAP?

Thanks,

This looks like another problem. Shouldn't the avatars be fitted into a firm frame all the time? If you take a look at this thread, your picture squeezed, Detlev's looks tall and mine square. (http://www.jivesoftware.com/jivespace/thread/60131.pdf)

Did you sync your profile photos via LDAP?

No, we do not use pics from the LDAP, we upload them.

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hi Nils,

The avatar for my account shown in the pdf for this case is squished because I uploaded it in an old version of Jivespace when there was a bug in our image cropper. This bug squished newly uploaded avatar photos. Your avatar and Detlev's are actually the same size. It just appears that Detlev's is bigger because of the white background. As for the PDF in your instance, will you see if you can reproduce this by uploading a tall avatar photo in a test account and viewing a PDF in a thread for that account. It's possible that the avatar in the PDF you sent is from an older version of Clearspace when we did not implement proper restrictions on avatar photos.

Thanks,

Cory

The problem stays the same.

I have attached the uploaded avatar image (bmp) and the new PDF.

Hi Detlev,

This is certainly a strange issue. I tried this same test locally on a vanilla install of Clearspace 2.5.19 with the same photo that you provided and I got different results. What plugins do you have installed? Would you be willing to temporarily remove these plugins and retest this issue so that we can rule out that possibility that this is caused by plugins?

Hi Cory,

> Would you be willing to temporarily remove these plugins and retest this issue so that we can rule out that possibility that this is caused by plugins?

Hm, the plugins we use are:

- SSO (and Terms&Conds) plugin

- eMail filter plugin (tries to filter auto-reply mails)

- activity-hide-plugin plugin (hides polls from the activity overview for some user)

I can't see where these should influence the picture created within the PDF...?!?!

So... Now I have tested the same document on out 4.0.3 test upgrade installation, where until today no plugins are deployed. No difference, still the same problem.

So, plugin influence can be rules out...

This is strange. In SBS 4.0, we force users to crop their avatar to fit to the proper dimensions.

Are you not getting this page when you attempt to upload an avatar image?

I was not talking about uploading the image on 4.0.3, but just using the picture which was uploaded into 2.5.x.

The PDF created with this picture has got the same problem as in 2.5.x.

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hi Detlev,

I think the issue comes down to a bad image stored in the database for that user (from an older version). In 2.5.21 or 4.0.3, if you re-upload this image to an account, then attempt to View as PDF for a message that has that account, do you still see this issue?

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hi Cory,

It is the same result as it has been with 2.5.19 (tested with 2.5.21 now). If 4.0.3 needs a crop, OK - but:

The problem obviously is that some images, which are already in the system, do have this issue. We don't have any clue how many of the uploaded avatars lead to this issue. So we need to find the root cause for this issue and after that, a way to resolve this for all affected avatars images.

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hi Detlev,

I'm sorry for the confusion; I meant to write avatar image instead of video. I would like to know what version Boris may have uploaded his avatar image in because I still cannot reproduce this issue. Without being able to reproduce the issue, I cannot really tell what is going wrong and how to fix it. We have seen that any images that are uploaded in recent versions does not have this issue. It is likely that this avatar image was uploaded in a previous version which allowed it to get stored incorrectly. If I can reproduce this issue locally, I may be able to find some kind of work around to get this issue resolved.

Cory

Re: "View as PDF" does not include avatars

Hi Cory,

We had this now really several times, too often: In four out of my five answers from 04.02.2010 on...

I can upload the image in any version in 2.5.x and reproduce it.

Even if this might be dependent on somehting "special" on our side (theme, ...), it is obviously not dependent on the version someone has uploaded the image.

> Without being able to reproduce the issue, I cannot really tell what is going wrong and how to fix it.

I have not written the software, but I think it is quite obvious in which areas at least something might go wrong:

- uploading the image (if it should be cropped automatically at some place or whatever)

- using the image within the PDF (creating the PDF)

If this is code-related - you might instruct us which logger you want to get raised to check what's going in behind the scenes. If the logging is not sufficient, we wouldn't have any problem if you pass one (or two, three, ...) classes with some special extra logging, which we could replace on our STAGING system immediately.

Our theme you find in your SVN, if needed (this should be known).
