I'm so sorry. I'm not very experienced with Virtuemart. I have version 2.0.2 with Joomla 1.5.25.
Recently, I migrated a test site to www.vtest.vegranch.com. My local version did not migrate well. I had to re-associate all the image files with the products and categories.
When I got this done, I took the test site live (to a subdomain) to get more help from the forums about other issues.
After I did this, all the images did not come across. I re-associate them, and still what shows is only the 'image not available" icon. Something is obviously not set right, but I don't know what it is. You can see an example here:
http://vtest.vegranch.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=42&virtuemart_category_id=12
I have "debug" on, and I'm getting these:
vmdebug self::$_jpConfig->lang en_gb
vmdebug vmTime: loadConfig db no: 0.00729608535767
In the back end, under
product category [edit] "roots", I get the following error:
vmError: Couldnt create thumb, file not found /hermes/bosweb/web287/b2874/ipg.vegranchcom/vtest/images/stories/virtuemart/category/Garlic, Purple Jumbo3.jpg
When I saw this, I went to Filezilla and looked in my remote directory folders here:
/vtest/images/stories/Virtuemart/Category
I see the garlic, purple jumbo3.jpg file
what setting is incorrect that virtuemart can't find the file? It appears to be there when I look at the same path. ?!
It is this way for all my categories and all my products.
Why is your given url http://vtest.vegranch.com... when the error message image path you give is .../ipg.vegranchcom/... ?
Are the images published?
Jenkinhill,
Oh, dear, I do not know why the given url is different than the error message. I can only say again that I am inexperienced. To verify, I went to my frontend (http://vtest.vegranch.com/) and clicked on the link to shop (virtuemart). The url for that is:
http://vtest.vegranch.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=266
I'm trying to see what you saw (.../ipg.vegranchcom/...), but I don't. When I follow the link I gave in my original post, I go here:
http://vtest.vegranch.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=42&virtuemart_category_id=12
On this page is an item entry for almonds, a product I sell. I have associated an image with it in the backend, and when I go to
virtuemart>Products>almonds>product images, one image file is associated with the item. It is:
images/stories/virtuemart/product/Almonds_4d7face46acfa2.jpg
but it doesn't show up. I can't figure out why. Any suggestions are appreciated!
This is from your fist message:
vmError: Couldnt create thumb, file not found /hermes/bosweb/web287/b2874/ipg.vegranchcom/vtest/images/stories/virtuemart
You had a local version working ok - you should have made an export package of this (a backup) using Akeeba and then installed that package on the live server. That is the way I do it and so do most other Joomla/VM developers so you really duplicate the original site. https://www.akeebabackup.com/
I am pretty sure this is what I did do. It's just that my pictures did not come through with all the other data. When it appeared that this was the case, I re-associated all of the images to their items (in the test site). Then, I made an akeeba backup of the backup site, and tested that. Which is where I am now; the backup backup's images are not coming through.
