Magento Attribute Error – Image File Not Found Exception

attributeserror

I created an attribute called “Size” and added Small, Medium, and Large. I gave 3 existing simple products (which are attached to a configurable) a different size so I could see the new option in a dropdown on the details page. But when I loaded the details page, an error came up. Here is the log message:

Line 151 of view.phtml is:

$swa_file = $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($swatch, 'color_swatch')->keepFrame(false)->resize(40);

After trying and undoing a few different things, I went ahead and tried deleting the new Size attribute. The error is still there 🙁

I tried:

Adding size.jpg and rollover_image.jpg to /skin/frontend/default/[theme]/images/catalog/product/placeholder
Verifying that placeholder images have been uploaded in the configuration
Adding images to each of the simple products (before only the configurable had images)

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

On Line 151 of view.phtml change 'color_swatch' back to 'image' and $swatch back to $product.

$swa_file = $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($product, 'image')->keepFrame(false)->resize(40);

I'm assuming $swatch and color_swatch are supposed to be a custom image related to an extension. For some reason Magento cannot find it, causing the issue.

You can see at the very top of your stack trace it's setting the baseFile to NULL which is the cause of the issue.

Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Image->setBaseFile(NULL)

Check for anything in all files, before the starting <?php and if the file ends with an ?>. Remove the trailing ?>. No one needs this.

This error is often raised, because you added a space before the stating <?php

And I think in later PHP versions, they improved the error by adding the information where the output started. Think about updating php to know this.

Magento 1.7 – Fix Currency ‘USD’ Not Found Error

Ok so I am not sure if this is the bug but if you compare the Magento 1.8 and Magento 1.7 versions of the function currency in Mage_Core_Model_Local you will notice a reference to a bug with Zend_Currency

Magento 1.7: Mage_Core_Model_Local->currency

/**
 * Create Zend_Currency object for current locale
 *
 * @param   string $currency
 * @return  Zend_Currency
 */
public function currency($currency)
{
    Varien_Profiler::start('locale/currency');
    if (!isset(self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency])) {
        try {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency, $this->getLocale());
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($this->getCurrency(), $this->getLocale());
            $options = array(
                    'name'      => $currency,
                    'currency'  => $currency,
                    'symbol'    => $currency
            );
            $currencyObject->setFormat($options);
        }

        self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency] = $currencyObject;
    }
    Varien_Profiler::stop('locale/currency');
    return self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency];
}

Magento 1.8: Mage_Core_Model_Local->currency

/**
 * Create Zend_Currency object for current locale
 *
 * @param   string $currency
 * @return  Zend_Currency
 */
public function currency($currency)
{
    Varien_Profiler::start('locale/currency');
    if (!isset(self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency])) {
        $options = array();
        try {
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency, $this->getLocale());
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            /**
             * catch specific exceptions like "Currency 'USD' not found"
             * - back end falls with specific locals as Malaysia and etc.
             *
             * as we can see from Zend framework ticket
             * http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-10038
             * zend team is not going to change it behaviour in the near time
             */
            $currencyObject = new Zend_Currency($currency);
            $options['name'] = $currency;
            $options['currency'] = $currency;
            $options['symbol'] = $currency;
        }

        $options = new Varien_Object($options);
        Mage::dispatchEvent('currency_display_options_forming', array(
            'currency_options' => $options,
            'base_code' => $currency
        ));

        $currencyObject->setFormat($options->toArray());
        self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency] = $currencyObject;
    }
    Varien_Profiler::stop('locale/currency');
    return self::$_currencyCache[$this->getLocaleCode()][$currency];
}

My suggestion would be to try updating the try catch to match that of Magento 1.8 (I know this is not the best solution and obviously I would not suggest editing the core files but adding a rewrite)
