Thumbnails not displaying

[WarMace]

I just installed CMSMS 1.2 and I am having trouble getting thumbnails to work.

• Simply inserting an image into a page works. http://test.warmace.info/
• Inserting the same image into Cataloger shows nothing http://test.warmace.info/index.php?page=moose
• The Image Manger shows text
• The FCKEditor shows no thumbs as well

Thumbs used to work on this server with the last CMSMS version, so I have no idea what I'm doing different.

Hello,
I haven't yet spent any time with image management in CMSMS. I can say that I am able to
view images via the included FileManager. I also use 1.2. If it were me having this trouble, I would
strongly suspect that it was a permissions issue. That is to say; the locations that hold the images
you are attempting to display do not have correct permissions. Or the locations (folders) have correct
perms but the images themselves do not. This is usually not an issue for *NIX users, as the contents
generally inherit the parents perms. There is a setting in the admin area that allows you to test if the
current settings set the right perms on newly created folders/contents. As I write this I don't have my
copy open, or handy. Otherwise I could tell you the exact location. It should be easy to find though.

HTH, and good luck.

DO'H!
I spoke too soon. It just occurred to me that I am almost sure it's your image handling settings.
For example, in all my PHP setups, I've included the GD module for image manipulation. You can
also easily use ImageMagick. But you need to tell CMSMS which one to use. There are also
other options in this regard for CMSMS. But in any event, you'll need to find out which one is appropriate
for your setup and tell your installation of CMSMS which one it is. A simple

Code: Select all

<? phpinfo(); ?>

will tell you if you currently have the GD module, or not.

Best wishes.

WarMace,

what is your umask setting in Global Settings. If it is 022, try setting it to 002, and then upload a new image to see if an thumbnail is created/shown.

Unknown - I do not know how to test ImageMagick or GD module.  I do know my hosting supports it because while waiting for a reply, I started another site on the same hosting and everything works.

RonnyK - I made the change and it did not resolve the issue.

Another fact to note is fresh CMSMS installs work great, this one I am having trouble with was an upgrade from 1.1.4 I think.

To double check my steps, I copied all the CMSMS1.2 files over the 1.1.4 install, ran the Upgrade Script, then deleted the install directory.  Were there more steps needed? (1.2 did not ship with a readme.txt)

If you create a file on your server named say; test.php and insert the following:

Code: Select all

<? phpinfo(); ?>

into it. then open it in your browser, you'll be able to find out anything you ever wanted to know
about the servers configuration.
I think CMSMS's admin panel even has a link to get this information. But off the top of my head,
I can't remember where.

HTH, and best wishes.

There is a module for checking server configuration... check to see all files uploaded, FTP, first time...

What you did was the way to upgrade no more steps...
