    Hello,

    I started with AwoCoupon few days ago and now I'm trying to create a PDF coupon with the profile image inside.
    But when I use the TAG {image_embed} in the PDF Text I always get an error like this in the shop:

    TCPDF ERROR: [Image] Unable to get image: /www/u26/cms1/home/www/u26/cms1/tmp/1411390135994447433.jpg

    I suppose the generated path is wrong and the correct path shoud be only the last part of the string (/www/u26/cms1/tmp/1411390135994447433.jpg).
    Is there a solution for this problem?

    Thank you and best regards!
    Thomas

    Hello,

    Yes, seems like it is adding extra at the beginning. If you embed the image, without putting it in a pdf, does it work?

    Hello,

    yes, embedding the image directly into the E-Mail works without problem...

    Hello,

    Ok, then it must be something within TCPDF.

    Found this post:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9415057/tcpdf-cant-image-because-it-is-using-a-wrong-directory-path

    Can you try the last suggestion there?

    In
    www/administrator/components/com_awocoupon/helpers/tcpdf/config/tcpdf_config.php, around line 63 is this
    <?php
    //define ('K_PATH_IMAGES', '');
    ?>


    Uncomment it, so it looks like this
    <?php
    define     ('K_PATH_IMAGES', '');
    ?>


    Then try it again.
    Regards

    Hello Seyi,

    that didn't work, but I found a way which works in my case...

    In tcpdf.php about line 18564 comment/delete the following lines

    <?php
                                // replace relative path with real server path
                                if (($tag['attribute']['src'][0] == '/') AND !empty($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) AND ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] != '/')) {
                                    $findroot = strpos($tag['attribute']['src'], $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']);
                                if ((    $findroot === false) OR ($findroot > 1)) {
                                    if (    substr($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], -1) == '/') {
                                            $tag['attribute']['src'] = substr($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'], 0, -1).$tag['attribute']['src'];
                                    } else {
                                            $tag['attribute']['src'] = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].$tag['attribute']['src'];
                                    }
                                }
                            }
    ?>


    BTW: in my Joomla/VirtueMart/AwoCoupon installation TCPDF is normally loaded from \libraries\tcpdf... So I had to do the comment in this tcpdf.php (in this file from line 24044 to 24053).

    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Thanks for getting back with the fix. The absolute path is always passed in, so commenting out that code is not a problem. Will get that updated for the next version also.

    And yes, did try to use tcpdf in libraries. But had many issues across the different versions in the different platforms.
    Regards
