Howdy all

I am trying out the imagecache module and just seem to be lost. I installed the module, activated it, go to Admin -> Imagecache.

Create a new Namesapce
Create a new action - Scale - 150x150
Update Action
Update Preset

So far nothing is created in the "files" directory...

Anyway, add to node.tpl.php the following:

print theme('imagecache', 'testing', $node->$field_article_thumbnail[0]['filepath'])

and update the files/.htaccess with required mods.....

and I get nothing...

Am I missing a step along the way somewhere?

Cheers

Try theme('imagecache_display'...) maybe...

Else, theme('image') worked for me.

Thanks Webchick

I have looked at the link provided and tried a few things but nothing doing. I suspect I have some other underlying problems. I'll try to get those to surface first then try again

Thanks again

Did you fix this problem? I am getting this at the moment, I have tried it on 3 different fresh installs on two different servers and cant get anything to appear in the files directory. No one seems to want to answer my posts either. Imagecache and imagefield seem to be very touchy to get going on my part. I have done everything you have said above and still nothing. .htaccess file has been modded. nothing appears in the views field options for imagefield as well.

Any help would really really be appreciated.

I've got a working version on one site I'm developing.... and on another I just can't get it to work!

I notice that when I configure a view to show an imagefield - any changes that I make to the imagecache settings are never reflected in the views pulldown menu.... even after emptying the imagecache tables...

Ah well - another day spent in fruitless frustration...
