no thumbnails in gallery

When editing the view .. I can see this error....

Error: handler for node_data_field_gallery_image > field_gallery_image_fid doesn't exist!

So somethings gone wrong .. going to have to dig around and see why.

just went ahead and reverted the site and did a clean install .. everything seems to be working as expected now save for the add image button not appearing.

@kellyharding Did you try disable/uninstall/reinstall?

I can't seem to get thumbnails to display either. I've noticed that when I upload a photo, the image gets uploaded along with a newly created thumbnail image into the files/photos directory, but when I push the 'save' button, the thumbnail disappears from the photos directory. I can't find the thumbnail anywhere. I thought it might have been moved to files/imagecache but it's not there. For those with working versions of this module, can you tell me where the thumbnails are getting stored?

Thanks,

Well to follow-up, my thumbnails are now displaying. I'm afraid I'm not at all clear what fixed the problem. I rebooted my machine and cleared my cookies and caches (for a different problem) and now they have appeared. The thumbnails have appeared in the files/imagecache directory. I did not see thumbnails short and reg directories before, perhaps I just needed to do a refresh...

BTW, I was not getting an "add image" button either but found a solution here: http://drupal.org/node/538624

Yeah .. I got them to show eventually too but by making it all by hand instead .. never could figure what the problem with this module was.

BTW - it looks like this problem is caused by a URL directory conflict.

In the CSS, the gallery is trying to pull the uploaded images from the following directory: /sites/default/files/imagecache/thumb/photos/mypic.jpg

Unfortunately, the files actually exist in /sites/default/files/imagefield_thumb/photos/mypic.jpg

This seems to be due to Imagefield's new handling of thumbnails independent of imagecache (see Imagecache conflict: Thumbnails generated in files/Imagefield_Thumbs).

Anyone know of a way to handle this situation so they're on the same page?

The Imagecache conflict thread you referenced implies that downgrading to version 6.x-3.0 is the quick fix. I'll give that a try.

it works for me.

Re #8, the css does not know anything about file locations. I can use the latest version of this module with the latest version of imagecache with no problems. There is no such thing as a version 6.x-3.0 or 6.x-3.1 of imagecache. You must be talking about those versions of imagefield. I am also using the latest version of imagefield with no problems.

Try the latest version of the code. Be sure to visit admin/build/views and look at the gallery view. If you see an option to 'revert' the view, it has been altered and it will not pick up the values this module is creating. Update the code, revert the view, and clear the views cache (admin/build/views/tools) and try again.

Thumbnails also missing here, no luck with any of the suggestions here.. #11 sounds so promising, but nothing happens when resetting the view settings and cache.

Still, when a new gallery is created it's fine. When a photo is added, it appears on the gallery with correct title and time but no thumbnail image. The image files end up under directories sites/default/files/photos and sites/default/files/imagefield_thumbs/photos/.

It doesn't matter if I try to copy the images also into sites/default/files/imagecache/thumb/... etc. There's nothing in the gallery page html source for the image.

I wonder if there's anything left to try anymore..? Drupal 6.14, latest versions of image/filefield, imagecache, og, nodereference_url, pathauto, views, views_attach, views_gallery etc. Could there be any conflict with these modules?

If you don't see an image there is a problem with the imagefield formatter or imagecache. Edit the gallery view. Look for the imagefield in the main gallery view and edit it. Make sure it has a valid option for the format (it should say that it is 'thumb linked to node' if you don't use Lightbox2. If you use lightbox2 it should be a lightshow format.) See if you can see the image in the preview.

If those things look right and you still can't see any images, see if imagecache is working. Edit the imagefield in the image content type and set it up to the use the format the view is trying to use. Save that and see if the image works correctly on the node. If it works on the node, it should work the same in the view.

Just a note to anyone who comes across this trying to find why thumbnails aren't showing (in my case it was because they weren't being generated): make sure an image toolkit is enabled (i.e. ImageAPI GD2 or ImageAPI ImageMagick).

This solved the missing thumbnails my end.

See #627822: Add reminder about imageAPI toolkit to the project page on drupal.org, that's not really anything to do with this module, but I can add some warnings.

#8 Is exactly the same problem as I just had :-(

imagefield is not storing its thumbnails in the imagecache
