Description

I'm using FCKededitor.
I have the ImageAPI and ImageCache modules enabled.
I have set up a preset.
I have tried both updating existing content and creating new content.
There are no records in the teaserthumbnail table in my DB.

Any idea what might be the cause?

Same is happening for me. I have one site and it works. The other does not. I've spent two days trying to figure out a difference.

-The site that does not work is using the Pixture Reloaded theme, but I switched to Garland to no avail.
-I too am using FCKEditor
-I set up a preset called "thumb" and set Teaser Thumbnail to use that. It is set to resize and crop to 100X100
-I'm uploading images since i realise that Teaser Thumbnail does do linked images
-I set all permissions regarding teaser thumbnail
-I am trying to update old content as well as create new content

The only difference with my working site is that in /sites/files/imagecache/thumb, there are two directories created: imagecache and userfiles. In the site that does not work, no directories are created inside thumb. The only thing that is there is the imagecache_sample.png. I checked the permissions on the folder and set it to 777, but that did not work.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[EDIT] - it is suppressing the full-sized images from the teasers, so it is doing something--it is just not putting the teasers in.

Exactly the same is happeing for me - would love to have a solution for this.

I found out (half of) what was happening for me. It turned out the difference between the two sites was that the one that didn't work was in a subdirectory. When I moved the site to the root after launch, it worked properly. I did try the troubleshooting steps listed for sites in a subfolder by modding the .httaccess file, and that actually helped with some images but not for images inside the "userfiles" directory,

What I can say is whatever it was it was not the TeaserThumbnail module, but was definitely an issue with ImageCache, as other modules I later installed that relied on it also did not work. I also noticed that the preview while setting up the ImageCache preset did not work. I would look in that module's issue list for further tips to try to fix this.

Thanks,
Carl

I had the same problem (no thumbnail image created and no records in teaserthumbnail table in the database).
In addition to ImageAPI and ImageCache, I am using IMCE and TinyTinyMCE (with TinyMCE) for uploading and inserting images.

After spending some time looking into the source code of teaserthumbnail module, I found what was wrong with my case. The reason of no teaser thumbnail images was because I was using absolute URLs for the inserted images by IMCE. So I changed it to use relative URLs at the common configuration page of the IMCE module, and then edit all the nodes and inserted all images again to change the image URL from absolute to relative. With this change, teaser thumbnail is now working OK.

I hope this helps.

I am preparing a new version of this module that handles that use case.
