Hi folks,

I've got a gallery on a website that is created using a custom view with thumbnails displayed in a grid & the main image shown in a thickbox as can be seen at www.maceiras-alentejo.co.uk/gallery

I've updated a few of the images used in the nodes that go to make up the gallery and they are displaying correctly in the nodes and in the full sized images, but the grid thumbnail layout has still got the old image. The images in question are 7, 9, 11, 15, 18

Any suggestions why the thumbnails haven;t updated and hwo to sort it so they do?

Thanks
Dan

Hmm,

It's got worse. I saw in the imagecache module there was an option to flush presets so tried that and now the thumbnail images have all gone missing!! I'm also now getting the following error in the admin screens:

* warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /var/www/users/userweb11291/html/drupal/sites/default/modules/imagecache/imagecache.module on line 156.
    * warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in /var/www/users/userweb11291/html/drupal/sites/default/modules/imagecache/imagecache.module on line 156.

So any suggestions, how to get the thumbnails re-generated?

Your permission settings are not correct.
The account apache runs in must have write access to the drupal files directory.

Hmm, I've just checked and the CHMOD for the files directory is set to 777 but then when going into the directory to look at the imagecache directory itself, the CHMOD is set to 755 and I'm unable to change it.

I think I might have to delete the module and start again unless anyone has another suggestion?

Dan,

I'm having a similar issue. After I messed with the imagecache sizes all my pics went down. In addition to that, I'm having problems with permissions in the image cache folder.

If you could please let me know how you fixed your error, that would be great!
Thanks

So it looks like there an issue was created when I exported the database from my localhost onto the server.

I am continuing this topic on

Thanks.

..and as the site wasn't important it slipped out of my mind. But I've started to think about it again recently. I was planning on just scrubbing the whole gallery and starting from scratch as it wasn't that big!!

I was able to fix the issue of pictures not loading on my site. The problem had to due to a memory upload size restriction in my.htaccess file. If you check out the thread that I posted above, it may help you out.
