Thread

Title basically says it all. The uploaded file ends up in UPLOAD_DIR, but the thumbnails don’t get created in UPLOAD_DIR/_thumbs (and two other dirs for custom sized thumbs) until I manually run the synchronize operation. All the directory permissions are 777, though of course EE can write to them since it works on synchronize. Anyone know a reason these thumbs might not get created in the first place?

Nobody even has an idea of where I can look to troubleshoot this?

please give me more info:

1- your server linux or win.
2- EE ver.
3- when you upload the image there is any error show??

Thanks for replying.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.2 (Santiago)
EEv2.5.2 - Build Date: 20120606
No errors displaying whatsoever.

As noted, EE clearly can make the thumbnails as it does so just find when I manually click the synchronize button and submit that form. It just doesn’t make them automatically upon uploading a new image.

Hi cgorichanaz,

I am sorry for take long time to reply, but I do some digging in EE core php files to know what the difference between synchronize and upload file.

all I find that the synchronize call do_sync_files method on content_files controller , and upload file call upload_file method on content_files_modal controller , and both call create_thumb method in different ways.

I can’nt do any more tests because I don’t have your issuse, so any more tests must done on your server.

Note: I am not a support admin , I am just a developer like u but I have some experience on this kind of problems.

so try to find what causes your problem and if u want any help tell me.

I think the support admin will advice u to :
1- run the Server Wizard here: http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/installation/requirements.html .
2- upgread to the las EE ver 2.5.5 .

I also advice u to do this before go to hack the core code.

Ahmad saad, thank you for your time on this. This issue has been put on backburner while we work out other things the client requires, but I will do some more digging soon. Just wanted to let you know I got the reply!
