When i tried to add a image through wysiwyg editor and tried to save the page it took too long to respond i got the following error

a:5:{i:0;s:25:"Unsupported image format.";i:1;s:1001:"#0 /var/www/html/project1/lib/Varien/Image/Adapter/Gd2.php(51): Varien_Image_Adapter_Gd2->_getCallback('create')

Even though the page gets saved i cant view the image in CMS editor

Answer 1

The problem is that Magento is generating a dynamic link with admin path in it. See line 8 in your error : /index.php/admin/cms_wysiwyg/directive/___directive/e3ttZWRpYSB1cmw9Ind5c2l3eWcvcmd0LXNsaWRlci1pbWcwMS5qcGcifX0,/key/ceed8184f5f336aafcc307f8623aff45/ - this is the link to your image, which is generated by the WYSIWYG.

As this link has no known image extension in the end, I assume, the error you got is produced.

The solution is to change just one setting in admin :

System -> Configuration -> General -> Content Management -> Use Static URLs for Media Content in WYSIWYG for Catalog to Yes

I found that this setting is checked in /app/code/core/Mage/Cms/Helper/WYSIWYG/Images.php on line 180 ( in Magento 1.7.0.2 ) and depending on that either static or dynamic links are generated.

It's a Magento bug lack of consideration with specific store view.

Rewrite method getImageHtmlDeclaration() of Mage_Cms_Helper_Wysiwyg_Images, to modify source code:

$mediaPath = str_replace(Mage::getBaseUrl('media'), '', $fileurl);

to

$mediaPath = str_replace(Mage::app()->getStore($this->_storeId)->getBaseUrl('media'), '', $fileurl);
