New Comic Not Showing
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 9:34 am
by Poisondusk
My latest comic isn't showing up, for some reason. I've checked my coding, and I can't find a problem. My web browser appears to load the image, in the sense that I can open just the comic image on its own without getting the anti-hotlinking problem, but it still won't show on the actual index page, or it's individual page.
I've tried reuploading it, but it hasn't made any difference.
My comic is
here.
The page is question is
this one.

PoisonDusk, I don't see it on your main page, either.
Are you uploading your comic to the WORKSPACE comics folder?

You do have the ***todays_comics*** tag on your indextemplate.html and dailytemplate.html files, right?

by Poisondusk
Yes, to both questions.

Would you please post the html for your indextemplate so that we can see? (you can use the "code" button in the reply menu) I see on the source for your page that the html is calling for the picture, but the display of it is just not happening. Let us look at the basics and see if we can see anything.

hold on! I think I see the problem... it doesn't appear you are using the automatic posting function, as "poisondusk_files" would not be a subfolder used by the system, I don't think. At least it isn't on mine. (I am a noob to the ins and outs of the mysterious magical workings of CG.)
I see the code for your image is like this:
Code: Select all
<img alt="" src="poisondusk_files/20061127.jpg" border="0" height="0" width="0">
try putting a "/" in front of your img src so that it looks like this:
Code: Select all
<img alt="" src="/poisondusk_files/20061127.jpg" border="0" height="0" width="0">
See the slash after the equals sign? See if that makes a difference.

Do I edit that in the real index page rather than the indextemplate.html?
And I am supposed to be using the automatic posting function. There shouldn't even be a 'poisondusk_files', I'm not sure where that came from.

No, you don't change anything in the public files at all. That is all handled automatically.
Go ahead and post your indextemplate html code then so we can have a look. If you and I and Oualawouzou can't figure it out, then one of the more knowledgeable among us will see it and fix you right up.

Do check your comic folder via FTP too. Maybe you mistakenly uploaded the folder where you store your comics on your personnal computer instead of uploading only the comic files.
Barring that, yes, the indextemplate.html code please.
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 11:38 am
by Poisondusk
I checked the comic folder and it was fine. The indextemplate.html code is posted above.

Well, I see the ***todays_comics*** tag right there, plain as daylight.. and I see the navigation tags working just FINE in the SAME table cell (I had originally thought there was something wrong with the table html tags..), and I see from the source code that where the tag goes, it was properly converted to your URL for the image (
http://poisondusk.comicgenesis.com/comics/20061127.jpg), however, there is nothing there at that URL.
Is the comic still in your workspace/comics folder?
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:05 pm
by Poisondusk
No, the folder's empty.
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:13 pm

The only other thing I know to try is to reload the missing comic pages from your harddrive into your workspace/comics folder. Then run a regular update (to upload the comics again and check to make sure all the tags are read).
If the update is successful, the main page image will show up here:
http://poisondusk.comicgenesis.com/comics/20061127.jpg
If it's showing up there, it should show up on your index page (since your tag is correct).
If it doesn't show up on the index page, we will tinker a bit with the code for your page and see what's what.
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:21 pm
by Poisondusk
It's there, but not showing up on my index page.
Also, when I reuploaded the page using my FTP client, it gave me an error message relating to the permissions on the file, but it still seemed to complete the upload. Would that have anything to do with the problem?
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:39 pm
by Swikan
Yep, the image is there in its proper place and nope, it's not showing up on the index page!
You may have to wait for professional (admin) help on this one, Poison. I'm sorry that I"m just not knowledgeable enough to help further.
In the meantime, you might try taking the code for the shoutbox out and doing an "index only" update. This will eliminate the slight chance that something in the shoutbox code is interfering with the display. Your previous day's page is showing up just fine, I feel that it has to be something on your index page that interfering.

I've removed the shoutbox, but the page still isn't showing.
Thanks for doing what you could to help, though.

Just curious: can you find that mysterious extra folder anywhere in your account? If so, where is it? Have you tried deleting it?
Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 1:02 pm
by Poisondusk
I can't find it anywhere. I've checked all of my folders and there's no sign of it.

You know what's weird? Looking at the code snippet Swikan posted above, I see that the image's height and width are set to zero. I get the same result when I right click on your page and view the source.
From what I understand, the ComicGen program automatically sets the "width" and "height" parameters to correspond to the file's dimensions. So, for example, if your comic's image is 640 pixels wide, the width gets set to 640.
It seems like the program is seeing the file, but treating it like an empty file. Hence the "width=0" setting. Maybe your FTP program is doing something to the image that makes the script see the file as empty.
You could try using the <a href="
http://siteadmin.comicgenesis.com:8080/ ... eb-ftp.cgi" target="_blank">CG FTP</a>.
