Hello, sorry I'm a total noob,

I can upload pictures fine and the previews show up when editing captions (according to the size I set up in imagecache), but when I click on Done Editing, all I get is a page with a list of icons on it, each icon with a title next to it. Clicking on the title takes you to the image itself, but that's not what I want at all.

I thought I'd get all my images showing up full size on the same page, not just icons.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

the icons are coming from
sites/default/modules/filefield/icons/protocons/16x16/mimetypes/image-x-generic.png

Any advice for a confused noob would be most appreciated,

thanks

bump,
I'm still only getting icons showing up in my stories when using image fupload, see

http://marywalks.getfreehosting.co.uk/

The top two stories on the front page use image fupload. If you click on the text next to the icons, you get to see the images, great! Is there any way I can have the images themselves show up instead of the icons? I don't really want a page full of icons. I want a list of images with captions underneath them that can all be uploaded in one click, captioned on the spot and all so simply that my mum will be able to do it herself. Ideally, I want a 640x480 preview of each image to come up, which can then be clicked to take the user to full hi-res glory.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

Thanks muchly

Bump.

I have the same problem.

site configuration --> images --> files and sizes. I choose a thumbnail operation. Then site configuration --> images --> fupload settings, preview image preset is set to thumbnail. Yet, when I publish a post, all I can see is an icon and never a preview thumbnail.

So I tried with imagecache and made a preset that scales and crops an image for preview to see if that would work and selected the imagecache preset in 'fupload settings'. No use. It shows the same old icon.

But when I do click on the text next to icon, the image is shown. I would some sort of preview before they click on the text next to it.

here is the site.

You have to set your CCK imagefield (cck settings) to display the whole image instead of a list. This is not a bug.

Hey guys,
So i fixed it and there can be several different reasons why it isn't working.

Here are the reasons.

1. There could be conflict with "Image" module with "Imagecache module" so I deactivated the image module and "Image Fupload (image)" module.

2. Make sure your imagecache is working properly. In my case, after deactivating several modules to isolate the problem, i forgot to activate ImageAPI for imagecache. You NEED imageAPI for imagecache to work properly. Some websites suggest that .htaccess file in files folder might be the culprit when you upgraded drupal.

I think the conflict with Image with ImageCache was the big one. You don't need the Image module. You can do so much better with ImageCache.

Fupload, CCK, Imagefield, ImageCache and Shawdowbox made the perfect image gallery for me. Although Shadowbox doesn't support captions, I am waiting for colorbox.

sorry if I'm asking an obvious question, but grandcat - which CCK settings are you referring to? I have looked all over for them and have edited my Imagecache, imagefield, etc settings accordingly and all of the images that I upload through Imagefield show as thumbnails, but anything uploaded through FUpload simply shows the list.

Thanks so much for this wonderful mod! This is the only thing I'm trying to figure out at this point.
