I upgraded from 2.1.0 to 2.1.4, build 20110411

- I have a fieldtype ‘file’
- When switching from list to thumbnails: no thumbnails

What is wrong?

Hi, Sjoerd.

Is this with FireFox?

Yes: Firefox 3.6 and 4, on Mac and Windows. In Mac Safari and Windows IE 9 it is OK.

I have the same issue in the same build.

I don’t think this is a browser issue, but server side… The HTML sent has {thumb} in the img src tag attribute. so I guess that {thumb} tag isn’t converted.

Hi, Sjoerd - that’s a bit odd.  And you say this *is* working on other browsers?  Or was that incorrect?  You’re right, an unparsed variable shouldn’t be browser specific - but based on what you said, it seems to be?

If you go to your FTP system and look in your upload file preference/_thumbs directory, do you see thumbs there?

Thanks!

It is a browser issue for sure. As I said:
Firefox 3.6 and 4: no thumbnails, on Mac and Windows. In Mac Safari and Windows IE 9 it is OK.

Sjoerd,

I can replicate this on my own install so have logged a bug report on your behalf here

OK thanks John. You guys are not very lucky with the filemanager, it looks like there is a curse on it. How do I get noticed when it is solved?

No curse.. trust me.. you can comment on the bug report, and as the status changes, you’ll get notified. Rest assured, we’re testing on Firefox for the next release. (And Safari, Chrome, Opera if I have time) as well as IE 9.

I’m running into what might be a similar issue: thumbnails for image files uploaded using Transmit (an FTP client for the Mac) aren’t showing up in the FileManager in either Chrome 11.0.696.57 beta or Safari 5.0.5.

Thumbnails for images uploaded using the FM are showing up. I do have a _thumbs folder with 777 permissions. The site is hosted by EngineHosting.

Hi Brooks Seymore,

That sounds like a different issue to me. If you upload a file from within the file manager, is a thumbnail created? Can you confirm which version and build you’re using?

Indeed… uploading an image through the File Manager will give me a thumbnail when viewed by Thumbnails. Left out of my comment from earlier this afternoon was that file names in the Images view aren’t displaying for the ones uploaded using Transmit—and just to be clear, the names show up for images uploaded via the File Manager and for all images when listed by List view—while images uploaded by File Manager do list titles in the File view.

I’m running ExpressionEngine 2.1.4 (Build 20110201).

This sounds familiar, and I think there may be fix for this in the next beta. If you compare the individual file permissions on your FTP’d images to the one you uploaded from within EE, I assume there’s a difference?

A quick update: after running this PHP script by Derek Hogue, thumbnail icons for the FTP uploaded images appeared in the File Manager.

Hi Brooks,

Thanks for the update and glad that you got this resolved. I’ll go ahead and close this thread now since we have this as a potential issue to test.

Cheers
