Whois Report Email Protection not working

[xperience]

Hi,

I've enabled the Whois Report Email Protection but just get red crosses in place of the e-mail addresses.

We have GD2 installed on the server.

Am I missing something?

Cheers

The "red cross" you may be seeing may be the typical browser error when an image is not found.

Unfortunately, this could mean many things. It could mean that you did not chmod 777 images/ folder in the whois script.

However, it may also be that your PHP does not have support for png images. You can confirm that it does have png support for GD by looking at your phpinfo page for: "--with-png-dir". If your phpinfo() page does not contain that then this is the likely cause.

If this is the case, you can still try outputting the image in a different format, such as jpeg or gif. To see if your website has jpeg support, search phpinfo() page for "--with-jpeg-dir".

You can modify the script manually to output into a different format. I may add this as a feature later but for now it is manual modification:
Open classes/Image.php:
Search for ALL "png" references (case insensitive) and replace with "jpeg". There should be three places to replace "png" with "jpeg".

Open classes/emailImage.php:
Search for all "png" references and replace with "jpg". There should be three places to replace "png" with "jpg".

If you do not have jpeg support, then I suggest trying gif support instead. Follow the same procedure as above, except replace with "gif" each time.

Good luck.

Thanks Patiek - we had the Script URL setting set incorrectly so it was looking in the wrong folder for /images.
