MoPics image folder

[DerekJ]

Hi All,

This is driving me NUTS!

I have set up 2 sites on different servers.

As far as I can see the admin settigs are the same but on one site, in the catagories setup, I set the image to thumbs/thispic.gif and it works OK.

On the other site, catagory setup strips out the leading thumbs/ and wants to have every image in the images folder. I know I can set the MoPics extension to _pic and _big and stuff everyting into one folder, I just can't see why I have to.

There MUST BE an admin setting I'm missing on the second site, but I just can't see it. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

mopix settings
Big dir...............................images_big/
thumb dir..........................thumbs/
Main thumb in thumb dir.....True
Pics/row............................4
Both MoPics extensions.......blank
Thumb type.......................GIF
Big Image type..................JPG

Thanks again for all of your help,
Derek

Are you running the same version on both sites? This was an issue with many people, including me but I don't think there was a solution and I don't recall which version was having the problem. If you have the same exact store on both sites with the same configuration, maybe it is the server settings.

I ended up uploading the images directly and editing the database to add the directory or just used Easy Populate, though it is a pain when you just want to add a product directly.

Thanks bleu,
I'm using the same version for both, I uploaded from the same folder on my machine to both sites. The site I'm having problems with acts strange some times and I don't administer it. So I made a copy on a site under my direct control, and that works fine. So as you say, it could well be a server-side problem.

Thanks again, (but if anyone else has an idea I'd appreciate it.)

sounds like the well documented PHP version issue. 4.3.8 and above has the issue. Look in the wiki for the way to setup mopics to work.

Thanks groggory,

Looks like that's it.
