Awesome plugins Stephen. I get more use out of your plugin than any other that I use. All gushing aside, I do have an issue with Tile-Plus images not loading.

I am going by your guide that you posted (see below)…

1. Tile Plus will automatically create images from the source image that are 100px x 130px. It does not use the pre-cached image sizes created when you add a new image. You will have to pre-process the image, scale and crop. If you upload a pre-cropped image using the same ratio (10:13) that would work too. For example, images with the dimension of 200px x 260px or 110px x 143px. Here’s the math…

…However, all I get is a broken link and no image. Look at Jay Niblick’s Card for reference on webpage below (see link)

My site is http://innermetrix.com/consultants/certified-innermetrix-consultants/

My short code is below:

[connections template='tile-plus' enable_search=true enable_category_select=false category='2' id='1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28' order_by='id|SPECIFIED' image='photo' str_image='No Photo Available' card_width='320' card_height='210' show_social_media='TRUE']

Thanks!

The document root can not be determined automatically. So you have to manually set the DOCUMENT_ROOT here’s how:

Add the following to the timthumb-config.php file found here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/includes/libraries/timthumb/

This is what you need to add, make sure to change the doc root accordingly:

define ( 'LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY', '/my/doc/root/' );

What /my/doc/root will be will depend entirely on the server setup. If you go to the the Connections : Dashboard admin page and look at the the System widget; there will be a constant named CN_PATH. The doc root should be the beginning portion of that path. What I can tell you is that from the wp-content and on will NOT be part of the doc root.

Hope that helps.

Worked Like a charm. Thanks!

Great to hear! Two things to keep in mind … unfortunately any time there is a Connections update, you’ll have to re-add define ( 'LOCAL_FILE_BASE_DIRECTORY', '/my/doc/root/' ); to the file because WordPress will delete the file during an update. Second, starting with version 0.8.14 the path to the timthumb-config.php file will be here:

../wp-content/plugins/connections/vendor/timthumb/

It’s being moved as part of my ongoing effort to cleanup the file structure.

If you have moment, I would truly appreciate a review as they really do make a difference. Many thanks in advance!
