Thumbnails don't show!

[scotch33]

Hi,

In a new install of 1.0.5, i am unable to see thumbnails in the image manager.  Also, when I try to edit the image it fails to do so and results in a broken link to the edited image in the preview. 

I have access to the php config on this server, what settings should be 'on' in the config to allow the images stuff to work?

Are there any other reasons as to why tghis would not work?

Thanks!

John,

I think the thumbanails have the wrong rights to be visible. If you check the rights on the thumbnails and give full rights to tem you'll see them in the imagemanager and in the frontend.

further to earlier message - I have just checked another install on the same server.  here thumbnails show and the editor works!

Could it be anything to do with the images themselves?  They are all jpegs.  here is a link to one that works...

Code: Select all

Thanks Ronny,
Do you mean chmod rights?

[RonnyK]

Yes,

I meant the chmod rights on the thumbnails.

BTW, pasting your second piece of code in the address-bar gives me a picture, not a thumbnail but the picture shows.

Yep - chmod's worked.  Thanks Ronny!

You might want to change the file creation mask in the site preferences. That way you don't have to manually chmod the files. They are created with the proper permissions. The mask depends on the host. Most hosts I've used needed mask 022 or 002.

Remember to manually delete the old thumbs so that they are replaced with ones that have been created with the proper file permissions.

Hi,
why is "default_upload_permission" not used for thumbs while it is correctly used for files?
Can you tell me where is the fragment of code which set permissions on thumbs?

Antoinio,

I'm not sure about the settings for the rights, but I thought that thumbnails only where correctly inserted if it was done using the "ImageManager". If the "FileManager" is used, thumbnaills aren't generated.

Yes, they are correctly uploaded using "imageManager" but with the "wrong" permissions

I like "ImageManager" just because it creates thumbnails 
but I don't like to change manually permissions... especially if they must be changed
by a low-skilled user (i.e. imagine an editor who can only use a text editor...)

Antonio,

do you have umask set to "002" in the global settings? as described in:

Ronny,
What do "global settings" refer to?
Do you mean the file "config.php"?
Or the settings of the host?
Thank you

Antonio,

I meant in "Site Admin -> Global Settings" in the Admin panel of CMSMS.
