[SOLVED] J4: Error massage "exif_read_data" function is not available

Your Zebra Image Library can't be loaded. This library is in \components\com_jem\classes\Zebra_Image.php
Check that you have the right version: 2.8.2

If it is this version, check the requirements of Zebra Image Library:

PHP 5+, bundled GD 2.0.28+ (PHP 7.0.0+ for WEBP support, PHP 7.2.0+ for BMP support)

More info of Zebra Image Liibrary: github.com/stefangabos/Zebra_Image/

PHP needs to be compiled with --enable-exif (Windows users enable php_mbstring.dll and php_exif.dll extensions in php.ini) for auto-fixing image rotation so images are always shown correctly regardless of how the camera was held when the pictures were taken.

Review the php.ini file and you load these extensions:
extension=mbstring
extension=exif .

Thank your for all your help McKillo.

- Version = 2.8.2
- PHP 8.1.2
- GD 2.9.1
- WebP + BMP support enabled

- I added 2 items to .user.ini for PHP
extension=mbstring
extension=exif

Still same problem : smaal image is empty

I don't understand this : PHP needs to be compiled with --enable-exif

@Emile_s
I prefer to do this change in php.ini, but I guess that it's setting of your host.
Anyway, check in your phpinfo if any extensions are changed: exif, gd and mbstring,
I think that for any reason, any of them isn't charged.

Hi McKillo,

My provider only allows changes in the php.ini settings via .user.ini.
The error message is gone. But the folder 'Small' is still empty

Perfect, the error is solved. When you see the event again, if the event has image, then the small image will be created.
