non photo files messed up

[noworyz]

After doing the upgrade from 1.3.5 to 1.4 I noticed that all files that are either .zip, wmv etc are messed up.

If you look at my site at http://www.egriz.com/GrizPics2/index.php?cat=16 you will see that the picture that is supposed to represent a zip file doesn't show up and it is just a tiny dot.

Any suggestions?

now, this is strange. I used the admin account you sent me to have a look, but I couldn't find anything out-of-the-ordinary. Did you modify any files except the theme? Is it OK to temporarily disable the "Unwanted Meta Albums" plugin just for trouble-shooting purposes?

that is strange.  I am still having the problems!

You can disable the plugin if you need to.  I just installed the plugin today!

The way it was before I updated was that the zip files showed this image (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.egriz.com%2FGrizPics2%2Fimages%2Fzip.jpg&hash=a40d4ba2900838a5d5ac9a2fdf52c24c14bbc18d).  Now it doesn't show anything.  This also happens when I create a new album and havn't uploaded any files into the new album.  It should show ths image (https://coppermine-gallery.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.egriz.com%2FGrizPics2%2Fimages%2Fnopic.jpg&hash=41b2367363ed403ac34530d177963ba776241a37) but it doesn't.

Thanks for the help!

Hm, this is of course not expected behaviour, but I can't see why the <img> tag doesn't get populated at all. It is working on your demo, see http://coppermine-gallery.net/demo/cpg14x/thumbnails.php?album=15

Did you modify any files except the theme?

[noworyz]

I havn't modified any files except the theme.  I have tried other themes and the same problem occurs.

Is the image folder supposed to be chmodded to a certain number?

OK, maybe some file got corrupted. Could you do a cvs checkout of the stable branch and replace all your files on the server with the files from the checkout? Make a backup first! A tutorial how to check out is available here: http://cpg-contrib.org/index.php?file=minicms/cms&id=21

No, it just needs r-x permissions, nothing special. http://www.egriz.com/GrizPics2/images/zip.jpg is accessible as far as I can see.

That fixed the problem!  I wonder what was going on?

Thanks a ton for you help!  Hopefully everything is fixed now!

[Joachim Müller]

That fixed the problem!  I wonder what was going on?

Possible reasons:

• one of the fixes that went into the cvs has cured your issue
  
• one of your files was corrupted in the first place and got overwritten with a good one

Anyway, glad it's fixed. Remember to disable the temporary admin account that you have given me. Marking this thread as "solved".

Hi, I am having the same problem. I followed your previous instructions and checked out the latest version from CVS, but it didn't fix the problem. Any more suggestions?

[fworsley]

Ok, I've figured out the problem. I have my thumbnail prefix set to "TN-" instead of the default "thumb_". Coppermine tries to find the media specific thumbnails using the $CONFIG['thumb_pfx'] variable. However, in the extracted archive the media specific thumbnails are named thumb_avi.jpg etc. So Coppermine can't find them. If I just rename them to TN-avi.jpg etc. then it works fine.

I should mention that my installation was upgraded from Coppermine 1.1 to 1.4 in one go.

It seems like this small "bug" is still present in the actual distribution, right?

My configuration has also non-default prefixes for the thumbs, so thumb_nopic.jpg etc. are not shown.

[Joachim Müller]

Well, yes - if you consider this a bug, then you are right: you'll have to rename the genreric thumbs accordingly. However, what's the reason for renaming the thumbs_ prefix? Just leave it as-is.

[lamama]

I don't like the "long" prefixes and like to have them all the same length:
tn_ for thumbs
pr_ for preview ("normal")

if you consider this a bug

not really, but the admin interface gives the impression that they can be changed without problems. It's just a little bit confusing when you stumble upon those missing default-thumbs weeks or months later.
