I've got this working on another site - but my new install of 4.7.5 and the latest imagecache and imagefield modules just don't want to play and I cannot get a view to display anything other than -1 , -2 etc where there should be an image.

I've got the familiar problems that the imagecache folder not creating itself - I'm working on that from other posts.

The really worrying thing is that the three imagecache presets that I deleted hours ago and which have been superceded by others, are the only ones that appear in the views pulldown menu for the imagefield. I cannot get it to update, I've even deleted the two imagecache tables and recreated them to no avail. I've done a dump of the whole database to find where these 'ghost' imagecache references are hiding, but they're not in there. So where on earth is views getting the references from?

Aaagghh.

Go to the modules page, and without enabling or disabling any modules, just click the submit button. That will clear out the views module field/formatter cache and the 'phantom' presets will vanish.

I did it with 'delete from cache' and sure enough it's sorted now.

Thanks

I installed the imagecache module made some presets but it uploaded incorrectly somehow and I had to completely reinstall it.

When I did, I was left with some ghost presets.

I ended up having to manually delete all the rows in my cache table.

If you're reading this, you don't need to delete everything in the table. Just the rows with CIDs that say imagecache in them. The site I was workign on was a development site so it didnt really matter.
