Extremely difficult to help when you don't take the time to tag your thread with the version of drupal in use nor mention it in your thread.

Beyond that it helps to know which version of imagecache is being used so that those willing to help you can make sure they are as close to your install as possible.

I can only say I use imagecache on a few Drupal 6 sites and it works well. Yes, including thumbnail creating.

If you can take the time to fully explain versions in use and imagecache settings, we'd appreciate it.

my drupal is 6. I enable content, image file field, image field, image api, image api gd2, image cache, image cache ui and there is no warning in status report.

i made a thumnail action image cache with 180x180. I insert a image field to fields and in display field, i choose thumbnail in teaser, and full size in full text. but when i create a node, in full text image ok, but in teaser there no thumbnail. This is my problem :D

I am not asking for the version of Drupal. We've established that you are using Drupal 6.x.

I am asking for the version of imagecache so I can install the same version of imagecache you have installed. I understand that you are using the version of imagecache for Drupal 6.x but what is the exact version of imagecache.

I am in the process of building a multisite installation. Currently everything gets delayed because I can not get Imagecache to work.

My core and module versions:

  • Drupal 6.9
  • Content Construction Kit (CCK) 6.x-2.1
  • ImageAPI 6.x-1.2
  • ImageCache 6.x-2.0-beta5 (tried out the dev version as well - same result!)
  • ImageField 6.x-3.0-alpha4
  • FileField 6.x-3.0-alpha6
  • Lightbox2 6.x-1.9
  • getID3() 6.x-1.1
  • PHP memory set to 96M
  • Clean URLs are enabled

I can only get imagecache to work if I set my file system to private. But that can not be a solution because it raises to many permission issues.

Can this be a path problem? Here are my settings (the folders exist and are writable):

File system path:
sites/default/files

Temporary directory:
sites/default/files/tmp

When I set the file system to private the previews of my presets work and I can see the Drupal icon, subfolders are being created in the imagecache folder (after uploading an image) and the imagefield thumbnails are being displayed in a node-teaser

When I set the file system to public - as advised - my preview lead to a 404 page and I see no icons. There are not subfolders being created in the imagecache folder and instead of a thumbnail I just get a link in the node-teaser that was created with an imagefield.

Where did I go wrong?

Paul.

I'm getting the exact same results on a multisite. Private works, public doesn't. This is pretty important considering I need multisite to work with imagecache. Any news on this?

I have the same setting as the guy above and I'm having the exact same issue. When set to private - everything works great with imagechache. Only problem is that my users can no longer upload new images... which defeats the purpose.

check the issue queue of the module for similar reports. If one is not found create a new one to alter the developer/s.

I have the same problem.

A large image is created, thumbnails are too, but thumbs are stored in a wrong folder.

In the display field I chose "thumb URL" option to see where the thumbs are stored and the address is:

http://localhost/0drupal/sites/default/files/imagecache/thumb/example.jpg (no thumb displayed)

The real address is:

http://localhost/0drupal/sites/default/files/imagefield_thumbs/example.jpg

The paths I'm using:
File system path: sites/default/files
Temporary directory: sites/default/files/tmp
Optional path in display field path is empty (I also tried with some other, but no result)

Obviously the problem is in the wrong thumbnails path created (no imagecache folder is created). How can this be improved?

Thank you in advance

lion123,

Is this happening on a multisite?
