Uploaded Image visible in Admin but not in User version

Monday 08 December 2003 8:59:59 am

Hi,
I've got a variation on the problem of displaying images. I'm using the Article class without modification, and images I upload into an article appear in the Admin preview, but do not appear in end user site. I've taken the following steps:

1. verified that my image.ini settings are in order
[ConverterSettings]
UseConvert=true
UseGD=true

[Rules]
...etc

2. verified apache has sufficient permissions to add files to the var directory

3. walked through the image problem documentation looking for solutions to problems with similar symptoms

In the Admin page the source looks like:
<img src="/siteroot/var/sitename/storage/variations/image/p/h/p/phpsgDCJE_150x150_108.jpg" width="150" height="98" border="0" alt="" />

but the source in the end user site looks like:
<img src="/siteroot" width="" height="" border="0" alt="" />

I'm guessing this last clue should give the problem away. I've scoured the forums looking for a similar post, but haven't seen one. Thanks in advance! Ben

Ben, could you also include the code you use in the thumbnail template ({attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.thumbnail})? This might help us track down the problem.

I believe the problem was that I had problems with caching, so I applied someone's recommendation to change the

[FileSettings]
VarDir=var/"my design"

to

[FileSettings]
VarDir=var/

this messed up the photo storage. I changed it back to
[FileSettings]
VarDir=var/skanner

and my images appear now.

Thanks!
