    Hi,

    I have recently upgraded to EE 2.1.3 from EE 1.6.7
    Everything is working fine except for inserting images into a textarea field.
    If I upload and insert then the correct file path is generated. However, if I try to add an existing image from the filemanager then the filename is replaced by “undefined”

    Has anyone encountered this issue before?
    I am not using any fieldtype addons.

    Thanks,
    Mario

    Mario,

    Can you check the permissions on your uploads folder and the new folder inside that called _thumbs have permissions of 777 please?

    See related non-bug report here

    Let us know if that helps

    Hi - We’re having the same issue on a fresh install of 2.1.3 build 20110411 -

    All directories have permissions of 0777.

    The image gets uploaded, however no image is generated in _thumbs. Additionally, the image often becomes “undefined” when you edit an entry, and it will no longer appear on the front-end.

    The file paths for uploading all appear to be correct.

    Any ideas? Perhaps a server setting?

    Hi dstechroom,

    Have you verified the permissions of an image after uploading it?

    Did you find a solution for this, Mario?

    I am having this problem too.  Do the individual images need to have 777 permissions or just the directories they are in?

    The procedure in this post fixed my issues.  http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/174760/#831045
    None of my settings were incorrect though, so I’m not sure why this was necessary.
