Cannot upload default image

Hi, I got the same problem here with 5.x-2.1 release: configuring default image I get Drupal error about "unlink()" function, and no default image is saved with my field:

I get this error:

warning: unlink(c:\windows\temp/agt_member.png) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in C:\[...]\modules\imagefield\imagefield.module on line 177.

Seems to be related with this:
http://drupal.org/node/252343

Try to create a "imagefield_default_images" folder in files directory and set permissions to 777.

I would try removing the c:\ from your file_directory_path, does this help? I don't have windows so I can't test on this platform...Patches are welcome from users of windows...

.darrel.

I Created the "imagefield_default_images" directory inside my "files" Drupal folder. Now uploading default image works fine, but I can't get them displaeyd when a node don't have an image in that field...

Regards

This was the case for me too, but it was happening only for the existing nodes. The newly created nodes show the default picture correctly.

I just got the same error on a Linux server. I couldn't reproduce it.

I have used this lineup of modules before and it worked.. but not now.

I have this:

imagefield: 5.x-2.1
imagecache: 5.x-2.1
imageapi: 5.x-1.2

when i go to a node that has an image it works fine and my path to that image looks like this:

http://cs.peter/files/imagecache/product_spp_main/images/products/fujifi...

when i go to a node that doesn't have an image uploaded for that field, i get the path to my default image as this:

http://cs.peter/files/imagecache/product_spp_main/c%3A/tmp/cs_tmp/produc...

yes, i am on windows and my 'file_directory_temp' => 'c:/tmp/cs_tmp',

i have tried various options for this including flipping / to \ and also removing c:.. the path does change; but it is still wrong as this shouldn't be inlcuded in the path at all.

I'll try on linux next.

this patch to imagefield fixed my problem.

You may need both of
#259220: "permission denied" when deleting directories on Windows
#252343: imagefield_default_images directory is hardcoded and seems fto be required but never created

I had to create the folder in files to make it work (no big deal) and now the default image is showing up in the CCK imagefield edit screen.

However, it is NOT showing up for any nodes without images! I have tried editing and saving existing nodes without images, and I have also tried creating new nodes without images... no luck either way...

Any ideaS?

Correction - the default image is suddenly showing up (maybe it needed a cron run?) BUT the teaser image is not.

I have the same issue, still. Tried cron but still the default image isn't attached to the node.

Ditto.

Checked "Use default image" and uploaded image, but default image is not defined for content type imagefield. Confirmed file folder permissions are correct. Searched files folder hierarchy and uploaded image file does not exist anywhere.

Having exactly the same symptoms as above.

Inital set-up:
Drupal 5.12
Imagefield 2.1

First problem was uploading and attaching an image to a node with image field. Initially it looked like image had been uploaded, but when configuring the field I saw the broken image place holder, with a reference to very broken path.

I created the folder "imagefield_default_images" in the files folder. I can now upload files, but they do not appear on any nodes.

I have upgraded to imagefield 2.2 - still no default image. (without editing anything). Going to try a few other bits - will comment back here if I get anything to work.

As is been 2 months since anyone else commented, I'm guessing that most people have this working. Any help would be great.

Nope. It's still not working for me.

I moved onto to other more pressing tasks, but this issue still needs a solution.

well, I've got a bit further. You must go into each of your content types and check that the display is showing the image
you can do this at:

admin/content/types/$type/display

(where $type is the type name)

Note to all ubercart users - your default image will be hidden by default. I am now searching for a solution for ubercart.

I have the same problem - applied the fix but still... the display of the cck shows the default image but it does not show in the nodes when no image is uploaded.

This was fixed in the 2.2 version (released December 30, 2008) after the fix liquidcms pointed out was finally included in an official release. See #252343: imagefield_default_images directory is hardcoded and seems fto be required but never created.

Please reopen if this problem still exists in the 2.6 version, but I'm pretty sure this is a duplicate of that other issue.
