Thumbnails don't work properly when RewriteURLs is turned on

jmelton98

running on nginx with the following rewrites:

location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ @forum;
}

location @forum {
rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?p=$1 last;
}

When RewriteURLs = FALSE, then previews show properly and thumbnails are saved in /uploads/thumbnails/FileUpload. However when RewriteURLs = TRUE then thumbnails are not saved and the location it is looking for the thumbnail in is /utility/thumbnail/FileUpload, which doesn't exist.

How is the thumbnail path being generated and why does it change with RewriteURLs turned on?

Thanks

Welcome to the Community.

should we guess your version of vanilla? Depending on version of vanilla - the answer and solution may be different.

good find. I wonder if its replicateable in apache with the same version you are using.

thse might help.

there have been a few recent discussions pertaining to thumbnails that may provide insight if you search forum on thumbnail

probably in here class.mediamodel.php or here class.fileupload.plugin.php

I am running 2.0.18.8

I found this in class.mediamodel.php:

$Path = ltrim(GetValue('Path', $Media), '/');
  if ($RequiresThumbnail) {
     $ThumbPath = MediaModel::PathUploads()."/thumbnails/$Path";
     if (file_exists(MediaModel::PathUploads()."/thumbnails/$Path"))
        $Result = "/uploads/thumbnails/$Path";
     else
        $Result = "/utility/thumbnail/$Path";
  } else {
     $Result = "/uploads/$Path";
  }
  return $Result;

Which would seem to imply that is is checking for the file in "/uploads/thumbnails/$Path", but not finding it (when RewriteURLs is turned on), so it's returning "/uploads/$Path".

I am new to Vanilla, so please bear with me

Returning "/utility/thumbnail/$Path" I mean...

I tested on apache with rewrite TRUE and FALSE

worked both ways.

{ rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?p=$1 last; }

should it be (I am not good at rewrite rules and no nothing much about nginx rewrites

{ rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?p=$1 last; }

This seems to have fixed the issue. Added additional rewrite rule

location ^~ /utility/thumbnail/ { rewrite ^/(.+)$ /index.php?p=$1 last;}
