Images uploaded with image_upload don't show thumbnails in original node as expected. [#302214]

Hi, I have installed the ed-classified module on my site and I cannot work out how to display the photo of the ad with the ad.
With the image attach module - it appears as a link rather than an embedded image and with the upload image module the image is saved on a new node. I know this is probably very easy with probably just a box I have to tick but I seem to have hit a brick wall. Any help would be much appreciated.

Also is there an easy way to put a contact seller link on each ad that opens up the email module?

Thanks, Richard

I'm not sure of the options present in the current (5.x) upload_image module. You may need to enable features or alter the configuration of the upload_image module in order to enable the image display you want.

Can you configure the upload_image module to work successfully with any other type of node? In other words, can you get the results you want with something other than ed_classified nodes? Take classified ads out of the equation, and verify that everything is working as desired.

If you can do that, let me know. If you can't, perhaps you could ask for support in the upload_image module support queue.

Hi, you are quite right, there is an issue with upload image, it's not creating the thumbnail required. However the following site doesn't seem to have used upload image (http://www.pacificcup.org/node/1680) how has the image been embedded? unless it has been done using HTML, which is not much use for me as most of my users wouldn't have a clue.

I'll follow up the image-upload issue but if you could comment on the above point I'd be really grateful, thanks,

Richard

Moving to this issue to the upload_image module issue queue, as this seems to be the appropriate place to request support.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this request (ignore the ed_classified references, the user is having trouble getting thumbnails to appear as expected with any node type using upload_image).

Perhaps this is a theme issue, as theme_upload_images() should insert the thumbnails into the node content. Does your theme implement phptemplate_upload_images() (or otherwise handle this theme function?)

Also, you might want to disable all other modules (disable everything except core, image, and upload_image and see if things work as expected - then re-enable things one by one until you find the culprit.)

What about module weights? Be sure that there are no module ordering issues.

However the following site doesn't seem to have used upload image (http://www.pacificcup.org/node/1680) how has the image been embedded?

The only thing I can think of is to ask the site admin what modules are being used. The photo embedded in that page has a url of /files/u271/valise.jpg but no CSS class or id, so I'm not sure what module is in use. I doubt that anyone is relying on the ad creator to insert HTML IMG tags.
