Triggers not firing

Hi,


I'm a seasoned Matrix user through work, but I'm quite new to system admin, and even newer to having my own Matrix installation.



After a few attempts over the last week I managed to get version 4.2.3 up and running on a VPS with Linode, running Debian 6.



There were no error messages during the installation, and since then everything has been running smoothly… that is until I tried using a trigger to create an image variety.



I've set up triggers a thousand times before (especially image variety ones), so I don't think the issue is there. However, just to be sure, please feel free to check my trigger settings are ok:



Status: Enabled

Blocking: No

Name: Image variety for showcase box

Description:

Category:



EVENTS

  • Asset created



    CONDITIONS

    Tree location - Asset is under: Items (a folder)

    Asset is of type: Image



    ACTIONS

    Create image variety

    (Ignore permissions is ticked)

    Create an image variety with the name: showcase-display

    Constrain by: Width

    Width: 360





    I can manually create the image variety without any problem - the trigger just doesn't fire for some reason. I'm at a bit of a loss. I've looked through the error logs under the Matrix Log Manager but I can't see anything there about triggers. The cron manager is running fine (though I'm not sure whether that would be related anyway…).



    I'm creating this website for my brother so I'm anxious to get the trigger working… he wouldn't enjoy having to manually create a variety for every image he uploads to this particular section of his site, or even having to worry about resizing his images prior to uploading them.



    I should also mention the site currently has public user access denied, as it's still under development. In desperation I tried making the site live, and granted public user access, but that didn't make any difference to the trigger so I changed it back.



    Does anyone have any suggestions about what else I could check?



    Thanks!

Hi Mergie,


Did you make sure to enable the Trigger Manager? You can do this by right clicking it, then choosing details. Aquire the locks and then change the status to Enabled. :slight_smile:

Lol, something so simple! /facepalm If only I'd looked at the details screen…



Thanks Nic, I'm glad it was an easy fix. :slight_smile:



From now on I'll check 'all' the available screens. :slight_smile:
