Thread

Hi, I’ve got two problems—at least may be a bug that can be fixed with a version upgrade but I want to be sure before I go to the trouble. According to https://secure.expressionengine.com/download.php I have Version: 2.1.3 - Build: 20101220, purchased on 1-11-2011.

(1) Category Order cannot be changed with up and down arrows

(2) After being uploaded, image files do not display when called to a template from an entry tag. Instead the image url appears. A visit to the displayed url confirms that the image is there.

Can these things be fixed with an upgrade? And if so, how do I upgrade? If I download from https://secure.expressionengine.com/download.php will that be the latest version or the one I already downloaded?

Would appreciate a quick response—I’ve been trying to resolve this for quite some time and tonight I have to send something to my client.

thanks

Can you show us what’s happening in your code via Firebg screen shot or something as well as the pertinant code in use.

THere is a bit of a bug (of sorts) with thumbnail creation with images but really a bit more SPECIFIC data to work with 😊

Here is a screen grab showing the portion of the page that is affected:
http://www.newsite.diverseandresilient.org/screen.html

The url running off the page at the right is supposed to be a photograph.

This is the code that produces that result:

{exp:channel:entries channel="{channel}" limit="1"}
<div id="photo">{photo}<!-- end #photo --></div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

It does not happen if I replace {photo} with an image tag that calls the image from the URL shown in the above screen shot.

The thumbnail is showing up fine in the Publish form.

thanks

That bug should have been fixed in the Beta, yes.

After being uploaded, image files do not display when called to a template from an entry tag.

Can you show us how you’re calling them, a bit of code, perhaps?

how do I upgrade?

Just download the Beta from the webshop (download the latest version of 2.1.3 will provide you with a radio button on the licensing details page allowing you to download the beta instead) and perform a version update like you always would.

The code is in the excerpt shown above your reply. And here is the css:

#photo {
    margin: 0 0 0 80px;
    padding: 0px;
    width:250px;
    float:left;
    text-align:right;
    border:0;
}

markoneil,

You need to use the <img> tag in combination with the {photo} custom field. Like this

{exp:channel:entries channel="{channel}" limit="1"}
<div id="photo">{photo}<!-- end #photo --></div>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks, John! All better!

And I’ll consider the category order problem solved, since that just requires an upgrade.

take care

Very glad to see that you’re all set. Please post again as needed.
