No thumbnails created in Album {thumbs problem solved, but a new problem now!}

Post by andrewtf »

I've just moved a client's site from a test folder to the server root, and somewhere along the way Album stopped creating thumbnails for new uploaded images. I'm not sure if the move or if upgrading Album from .8.2 to .9.2 created the problem. I already tried changing the file creation mask from 022 to 002, and that was kind of a disaster--it resulted in a stack of "warning: headers already sent..." errors and the system not allowing me to upload images at all! I got frustrated and restored the previous version of the site with a backup copy I had made a few minutes before this.

Thumbnails aren't showing up in the image manager, either, but then if they're the same ones as used by album that's understandable. I did check and the uploads/images/ directory is chmoded 777. The Album images are stored in a subdirectory in /images called /portfolio. That shouldn't make a difference, right?

Any help would be appreciated!

Random thoughts
1. I admin (siteadmin/global settings/) you can test the 022 stuff - what does yours say?
2. I know it maybe be silly, but you did alter the paths in your config?
3. Can you create a test site in a similar location and post a link with debug enabled?

What are the rights on the created thumbnails itself. If they're created but not 755, they aren't visible for the world to see.

Mine says 022, but as I mentioned above when I tried changing it to 002 it screwed things up even more. Perhaps I'll give it another try. The first thing I did was check the config paths, so it's not silly.

It doesn't look like thumbnails are being created at all. That's the problem.

So it's more likely a rights / permissions ownership issue? Or just perhaps path, but I presume from what your saying the originals are being created - just not the thumbnails - which I resume your looking for with some sort of ftp client?

OK, I set the file creation mask to 002 and... I get thumbnails! :D It definitely did not have that affect last time I tried it, so that good. Unfortunately, now I have a bunch of "cannot modify header information" warnings at the top of each admin page, like this:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/serraoca/public_html/modules/Album/classes/module/class.Album.php:1931) in /home/serraoca/public_html/lib/classes/class.admintheme.inc.php on line 161

Dear Andrew,

Not my tip, got it from Vin, I'm just passing it on.
"the images have to be viewed in the Image Manager before you put them into galleries - the thumbnails are created then"

Solved for me having no thumbnails created too.
Yes I also checked on the other items mentioned in this thread, and recognized a few minutes ago there's a huge difference between the FILE manager and IMAGE manager.

Hope the above will help you too,

Gr,

Frank

Frank, thanks for the input. I've solved the thumbnail generation problem, but now I get a bunch of "cannot modify header information" warning messages; Album seems to be involved somehow, but I'm not sure how. If anyone has any ideas about how to get rid of this please share. A forum search reveals a few instances of similar situations with other modules, but none of them seem to have answers...

Thanks in advance.
