Product Thumbnail problem

Hello all!!!

VirtueMart 3.0.8 in Joomla 3.4.3

When creating a new product and uploading an image it fails to create its thumbnail. So I use the "replace thumbnail" and I fix the problem.
But when I'm uploading a secondary image product the same thing happens and I cannot use the "replace thumbnail" function because it replaces my main product image.

In Media Files Settings under Configuration all the paths seem correct.

I don't know where else to look.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!!!!

Hi,
I think you have a folder or file rights.(chmod 666 for eg. or sometime this can be set by ftp)

I have to change the rights to which folder?

I checked the image folders within the virtuemart image folder and they are all 755.
I have full access to write and execute.

Hi,
You have to have a subfolder resized with the correct rights in :
vendor\
product\
manufacturer\
category\

Then check your config YOURSITE/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=config
TAB templates > Media Files Settings :
Category Media URL    : images/stories/virtuemart/category/
Product Media URL : images/stories/virtuemart/product/
Manufacturer Media URL   : images/stories/virtuemart/manufacturer/
Vendor Media URL : images/stories/virtuemart/vendor/

this is for images\stories\virtuemart as main ftp folder for images(default settings for virtuemart)

Yes, everything is like you say it is.

The subfolder is there in every folder with 755 rights and the paths in Media Files settings are the virtuemart default paths.

I never moved any folders, renamed or changed paths in config. Still I get no auto generated thumbnails to show.

:(

Hi,
A stupid question, do you have checked Enable Dynamic Thumbnail Resizing in TAB templates > Media Files Settings ?

Did you solved this problem Estelle? I have the same problem... in front end I see the thumbnail but in the backend no.

Do you mean you don't see the thumbs on the Product Images page for each product?

This is what I see in the product page in the backend, in the front end I can see normally the thumbs.

Actually the link is to a non existing file... the program seem to create the thumb only of the first image in the folder images/stories/virtuemart/product/resized but not of the others... I see the thumb in frontend because the source of the image is the original one and not the resized. Why this behaviour? I'm missing something? this happen only since few days...thank you.

Well, same here.

Joomla 3.4.5
VM 3.0.12

In aditional images in product view at backoffice, I get error 404 not found, but in front-office, they are there.

Any clues?

Studio 42

Try in medias, to syncrhonise medias and check fro errors.
If you don't seee any error, perhaps you have unset thumbs generation in config.

For GJC Web Design: I'v uploaded 4 images and the address is like this http://www.mulligan.it/images/stories/virtuemart/product/resized/Srixon-Z-545-Driver-10.5-Regular-shaft-specs_190x190.jpg

For Studio 42: the automatic resize is selected. What do you mean with Syncrhonise media?

Thank you.
