I installed the module.
It all worked good, but on every article there was a default image.
So I added some pictures in my news-articles.
Although, the thumbnails stayed the same.
I tried to remove the default images with FTP from the folder /images/thumbnails/mod_minifrontpage
This resulted in the error that I have a fully blank page, only with the error "0 - The image file does not exist."
I have to disable the module, to see my website again.
Uninstalling and re-installing still gives me the same error

I think I found the reason of the error. It looks like the module doesn't work properly with image that contains spacing in its file name. It happens when you add the image directly using the wysiwyg editor, but it works properly when you use Intro image or Full Article Image to add image to the article.
I'll try to fix it, but temporarily, if you want to to add image directly from editor, please remove spacing in the your image filename first.Please post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264

Could you let me know the URL of your site so I can take a look?Please post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264

I have created a superuser account for you -
Can you point me to the page where you publish the module?Please post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264
-
the forntpage. it should be above the yellow banner
but when "published" the whole site is gone -
Everything worked in the beginning.
But I did the stupid thing to remove the thumbnails, hoping I could use my own
since then, it crashes -
Ah I see. Can you check this folder manually (using ftp) :if it doesn't exist, try to create it manually1
/images/thumbnails/mod_minifrontpagePlease post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264 -
the folder exists
already from the beginning of the installation. (see my opening post)
I removed all the .jpg's inside of it.
then it went wrong -
Hmm strange. Is it possible for you to provide a temporary ftp access ?Please post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264
-
yes, I will create in a second
yes, it's very strange.
It worked with the default installation
but even uninstalling and re-installing to have the default again doesn't work -
did you receive the FTP details?
-
No, how did you add it? Simply add it using the Your site details tab belowPlease post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264
-
yes, I did that
like I sended all the super-user details -
here it is again for the FTP
-
When you enable the module, I now get:
* plenty errors on my screen
* in the admin-panel the text is resized
* the textboxes are a lot smaller
more and more modules and plugins are giving errors
so I guess the best thing is to uninstall everything
-
aha
there he is again -

It because I changed the Error Reporting in the Global Configuration to Development level, to see the actual error message and you have some notice and deprecated message with plugins you have installed (bye bye generator and google analytics). I have switched it back the Error reporting to System Default to hide the notice messages.
I have deleted the folder /images/thumbnails/mod_minifrontpage manually using ftp, then reinstalling the module. It looks like the module run properly now. Please have a lookPlease post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264 -
It worked for a second
It had the default settings. I had 5 news-blocks.
I changed it like I had it in the beginning, and there is the error again..... -
when you change the "number of articles to show" from 5 to for example 12
I want a grid of 4 x 3
then it crashes again
which he didn't do in the beginning -
9 is now the maxium number of articles I can show
I tried through FTP to add 12 thumbnails in total, but that doesn't work
10 articles to show or above makes the plugin crash -
I think there's something wrong with the 12th articles. When I set the category to Nieuws Algement with article = 12, it show 1 item and didn't returned an error. Can you check what is the 12th articles and also can you try to add more articles?Please post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264
-
there are 12 articles to create the grid
there are 3 different categories
I added them all to the module
the module is completly set now
Only the number of articles to show is 10.
If you change it to 12, you get the error -
It because of this article : 10-04-2020: nieuws-item 1
I tried to unpublish the article and everything goes fine.Please post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264 -
Ok. I created a new article
Now it seems to work again.
For security, I will take a backup of the website
thank you very much for the quick support
I'm searching now how and where to change the defaul image to an image of the article -
ok. thank you very much
I will make sure I will rename all images
Lets see what an "_" (underscore) does, instead of an image.
I will search for the right solution
thank you -
Good afternoon
We are back to the crash, after following your directions in the topic:
https://www.templateplazza.com/forum/minifrontpage-not-generating-thumbnail -
It has something to do with multiple categories
because I use it on another another menu-item, with only 1 categorie, then it works
But i found the categorie that is making trouble
So I will search again, and keep you informed -
there is 1 categorie that always causes the problem.
I have no idea why.
I will create a new category and new articles, and see what happens
keep you informed! -
update:
I deleted the categorie
I deleted all the articles concerning this categorie
Created everything again from scratch, now it works -
Ok thank you for the confirmation. Please update me if crash happens againPlease post rating at the Joomla! Extensions Directory - http://extensions.joomla.org/profile/profile/details/264

Hi. I have the exact same error - I have deleted the thumbnail directory and re-installed MFP but it still crashes the page.
I don't create the articles but there are a large number of old images with spaces in the filenames which also caused problems with the old Latest News+ module.
I've fixed by renaming several files but would be great to find a solution for this to prevent future errors.
Thank you -
