Not Showing Images For Filename Contain Spaces

@hwa – Although we have corrected this issue with spaces in file names to the best of our knowledge what I am seeing on your site is another issue altogether.

I’m seeing +-+ as the replacement for spaces?!

As it is, you can comment out the following line from function nextgen_esc_url():

$url = str_replace( '%', '%25', $url );

… and add the following hook/callback to your your current theme’s functions.php:

add_filter('ngg_get_image_url', 'ngg_replace_plus_with_percenttwenty', 10, 3);
function ngg_replace_plus_with_percenttwenty($url, $image, $size) {
    return str_replace('+', '%20', $url);
}

See if that helps to sort out this issue (it will not likely “fix” any existing displays/galleries).

Thanks!

Hi Cais,

Thanks, the filter fix the issue, but $url = str_replace( '%', '%25', $url ); doesn’t give any effect. So I just add the filter.

I consider the filter as a hack/workaround, may I know is this a known issue? Since this only happen after upgrade, is there any bugs report for this?

Thanks again.

@hwa – For the most part the hook/callback work-around will only be a temporary measure but for some sites/server environments it may still be a requirement.

After the next update of NextGEN Gallery you could try not using the hook/callback to see if you still need it or not.

Thanks!

Just wanted to add that suddenly I am experiencing the same issue. When I replace the space with a hyphen, everything works fine:

@evanpike – Thanks for sharing your work-around.

I guess it’s a work around, but would prefer a fix for the plugin though as I don’t have time to go through my blog and find all images that have spaces in them and then rename all of them… I’m not sure I understand what to do with the code above.

@evanpike – We have corrections committed to our next release branch which should sort this out. IF the issue persists after that release please start your own topic so we can continue to review your specific issue.

Thanks!

– Cais.
