I have a slideshow channel to hold images, description titles for a website slideshow.

It displays fine when logged out and anyone viewing the site, and when a super admin is logged in,

When a Member logs in the image does not show. The src field is blank. The title and entries show OK, just the image does not. I cannot see where to change this. Here is my channel entry code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="home_slideshow" dynamic ="no" disable="categories|category_fields|member_data"}

{slideshow_image}{url:resized}{/slideshow_image}
<span class="home-slideshow-title">{title}</span>
<span class="home-slideshow-text">{slideshow_details}</span>

{/exp:channel:entries}

Thanks

I have managed to get them to show to members, BUT I had to select Yes for “Can upload files” for Members in the File Manager Preferences for this directory. That has to be wrong surely? I dont want them to have this permission (not that they have access to upload anything anyway) but seems strange I have to enable this just so logged in members can View them?

Thanks

You’re right, that permission shouldn’t be necessary at all. Let’s get to the bottom of this. What fieldtype are you using for slideshow_image?

Its the File fieldtype, set to accept only Images, and to upload it to only my “Slideshow” folder.

And just to double-check, you’re running EE 2.5.3 on this one, right?

Yes 2.5.3

Just to flag up - I am having the same issue!

Its also not just the default Member group, but a new group I created. Although I did copy the Member group settings to create it!

It must be a 2.5.3 bug!
If the group is not set to upload the images they are not able to view them. Non logged in members can see then ok!

Hey everybody!

I haven’t been able to replicate this on my 2.5.3 sandbox. It might be something we should get a look at. Be on the lookout for an email from EllisLab!

Cheers,

I’m getting EXACTLY the same issue on one of our newly launched sites just created a “blogger” member group with limited publishing functionality and it does exactly the same as described above, removes the image source code from all other images outside of the templates on the site but does not affect the overall site for non logged in members.

Alrighty folks, I was able to reproduce this problem on my own installation thanks to some help from amityweb. I went ahead and filed a bug report on everyone’s behalf, and I’d recommend everyone post a comment to that bug report to follow it for updates. If you have any additional information that isn’t already included in the bug report, just let us know in the comments.

Thanks!
