Please help I get this error since installing the script on every page on my site:

Sorry, that didn't solve the problem. Still I get the errors.

Thanks,

Mark

That did the trick! Yes I have contacted my host on this. They told me that the error was the result of trying to write / read from locations that are not allowed.

Thanks,

Mark

Damn hosting restrictions!  ;D

Anyway, we hope to address that in 1.3, by making the code more flexible to work on such environments.  ;)

Just thought I would let you know I had the same problem as the OP turned out the problem was due to a bug in sig_pro.  The only effect of having open_basedir enabled is that it showed the bug for what it was.

The diff is as follows:
As you can see the original file misses out '$mosConfig_absolute_path' this causes it to generate the wrong path which is why it is (otherwise) inexplicably outside of the allowable open_basedir directories.  You will also notice that it was missing a "." before the $format.  Either of these bugs will prevent the thumbnail check from working and cause the thumbnail to be generated every time.

I know you were joking but I have to say it: Neither open_basedir, nor error reporting are 'damn hosting restrictions'.  Open_basedir is very useful, primarily as a security measure - even in a non-shared environment you would never want your web server to have access out of the document root, some temp folder and maybe a libs folder.  Open_basedir also has the benefit of picking up some bugs that might not be spotted otherwise :P.  Error reporting is clearly beneficial for obvious reasons, though you probably wouldn't want it on a production server.

I have just realised that Vinikey aka George Chouliaris (one of the developers) has posted the same fix at forum.joomlaworks.net/index.php?topic=1266.msg4637

However, this is the thread which I found first from Google and look at the number of views I think this is the post most other people tend to find too.  So if anyone wanted independent verification of the bug, see Vinikey's post.

Line 286 also need changing

Should be

Otherwise if you have Joomla installed in a subdirectory of your document root (configured by editing $mosConfig_live_site and $mosConfig_absolute_path) sigpro will not create the correct links.
