Phoca Gallery Slideshow Plugin 404/410 errors

[3doffice]

Hello,

I'm using the Phoca Gallery Slideshow Plugin. And I'm on the way to optimize my joomla site with google page speed and with fiddler. If I analyze my site I get the error 404 http://www.3doffice.de/index.php/loading.gif file not found. If I disable the plugin everything is fine. I have tried to copy the loading.gif to my root directorie where the index.php is located. But it does'nt help. Any suggestions?

regards

Hi, do you get this problem with version 3.1.1?

[3doffice]

Hello,

Yes. Same problem. I have updated the galery component and the plugin. This is the site that produces the error:

[removed - error not displayed]

Hi, on the site I don't see any error - please let me know the error message?

Hello,

Go to: https://developers.google.com/pagespeed/
Analyze this url: http://www.3doffice.de/index.php/hilfe-a-support

The "error message" is:
Removing "broken links", or requests that result in 404/410 errors, avoids wasteful requests.

This is the "broken link" (sorry I get the message only in german):
Die folgenden Anforderungen geben 404/410-Antworten zurück. Korrigieren Sie entweder die fehlerhaften Links oder entfernen Sie die Verweise auf die nicht vorhandenen Ressourcen.
http://www.3doffice.de/index.php/loading.gif

You can also use the web debugger fiddler. This tool will report the same error.

If I disable the slideshow I don't get this error.

I don't get any error message in Internet Explorer!

Hi, I have no experiences with developers.google.com so really no idea what this error should mean. Maybe some code asks some page which is not set for the site I am testing it on my server without any such indication

This are bad news...
Who wants to load the "loading.gif"? Which part of Your code needs "loading.gif"? Where does the "loading.gif" is located on Your site? Perhaps I have to copy this file to an other location?

Try to check this file:
\components\com_phocagallery\assets\fadeslideshow\fadeslideshow.js
maybe there is some problem while accessing the loading.gif here

I found this problem too.
Jan was right: i opened "components/com_phocagallery/assets/fadeslideshow/fadeslideshow.js" and, on line 11, i replaced "loading.gif" with "components/com_phocagallery/assets/fadeslideshow/loading.gif" and the problem is gone.
This doesn't seem like the best way to solve this, though, and it certainly won't work for everyone.
