I came across this whilst setting up lightbox2 with the lightboxes addon for Gallery Assist...

Whilst the upload fields for Gallery Assist will upload some photo's fine, and these will load up in lightbox perfectly.. If you were to save an image from Google Images or something, or any image from a webpage and try and upload that.. It'd work to the point where you'd have the thumbnail (if you're not using imagecache) but if you were to click it you would have the lightbox loading forever...

When I installed the Image Cache addon to try and see if I could get it to work, obviously all the new Image Cache settings popped up... So I went to my page to see what changes it had made... Now the images that load fine in the lightbox showed fine, BUT the ones that were not loading didn't have a thumbnail.. Just title text...

So I went to find where the files were stored which was "/public_html/sites/default/files/gallery_assist/1/gallery_assist6" in this instance... The files that were loading and the thumbnails working successfully were in all folders... The "gallery_assist6" folder and also in "img", "prev" and "thm"... The ones that weren't working were only in "img", "prev" and "thm"... and of course the lightbox called the images from the "gallery_assist6" folder, so these particular images weren't there for it to load...

Why would Gallery Assist upload some images perfectly and to "gallery_assist6" and it's 3 subfolders, and upload some to only the 3 subfolders?

Thanks,
Arran

Hello Arran,

When in the most cases Gallery Assist work OK and you not find here other post with your same issues we have to investigate better 'your case' over another way. I have not problems to help you.

I would be pleased when only in very serious cases you use this adress.

I'm having a similar problem. With just Gallery Assist the images showed fine. Once I added, Gallery Assist w/Lightboxed, Imagecache and Lightbox2, with the folder named "lightbox," my images will no longer show. When I upload them, there are no thumbnails or larger images that appear. Did you guys resolve this issue? Your last two posts don't show any text.

I did locate the fix that was traded and installed it successfully.

I also finally realized the public consumption of the gallery relied on anonymous users having permission to view them. Great module!

I am still having a couple of config issues: I cannot remove the time stamp from the authoring info. And I cannot get Captions or titles to display since adding the Lightbox2 extra.

Hi Juan Carlos,

First of all I would like to thank you for the great module. Saved me a lot of time (after having lost many hours trying to set a gallery up in ither ways).

But I seem to have bumped into the same problem as mentioned in this post (missing the files in 2 of the 3 folders, lightboxes not working). I read that there is a fix but since I am quite new to Drupal, I don't know where or how to find it. Could you help me out on this ?

Regards,
Gert

Hello GEBO,

I had this problem for fixed and closed because Arran made a empty cache and after all works.

Please download the version of Gallery Assist 6.x-1.7-alpha1 from www.github.com/jcmc . If you get again the same Problems, please let me know.

Regards
Juan Carlos

Thanks for you quick response. But I'm afraid my problem isn't solved yet.

First I downloaded the version you mentioned, removed the older gallery_assist modules (assist, assist_ic and lightboxes), flush all cach, removed all gallery related content.
Unpacked the downloaded module (files dated 11/11/2009) en activated the module.

When I create a gallery-document and afterwords upload the images, everything works fine for the first image. The second image I try to upload works only partly; the jpg is uploaded to the /gallery_assist/1/gallery_assist37 folder and a "smaller" version to the /gallery_assist/1/gallery_assist37/img folder. However, in contrast to the first image, the image is not copier to the /prev and /thm folders.

For your information, the second uploaded image is smaller than the first one. So I don't think this might be the problem.

Hope you can give me some advise in how to solve this problem.

Regards,
Gert

Hello Juan Carlos,

Suddenly (?) everything works fine, even wit the two mentioned folders empty. It's a pitty that I don't know what did the trick (perhaps somthing with caching ?), but I'm very glad the problem is solved.

Thanks a lot !

Best regards,
Gert

Sorry I've been away from the forums for a while...

GEBO, this is actually how I fixed the problem.. Well I didn't fix it, it seemed to randomly fix itself...
Up until this point I was myself copying the image files in to the folders it was forgetting to copy them in to...
