Title: [ SOLVED ] Image thumbnail not created
Post by: musqsim on October 24, 2012, 18:26:31 PM
hi there!

First of all, excuse me if theres is already solution / post / thread for this question, I search a lot before post and haven´t find anything...

Virtuemart 2.0.12f
Joomla 2.5.6
XAMPP Server on local machine and www.issencial.com/ayor/pandora (http://www.issencial.com/ayor/pandora) (USER: ayor - PASSWORD: ayorstore).

I´m trying to add some products to my joomla site and I can upload the images but VM doesn´t create the thumbnail...
it appears like this:
(http://www.issencial.com/resources/VM.png)

I´ved update from VM 2.0.8 to last version, nothing change.
I´ved uploaded site to online server, nothing change.

The thumbnails that allready exists, was I that make them manually...

Did anyone got the same problem? Does anyone know how to solve it?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Do you have GD2 compiled on your localhost?

GD Support  will show in Joomla System Information/PHP information under gd.

Just noticed you are using .png - make sure that GD2 is compiled to use  png - some hosts only have it set up for gif and jpg

On my server I have no issues uploading png, gif or jpg.

You could check the error logs to see if anything shows there, and maybe turn on VM debug to see if that helps.

Hi jenkinhill,

Thanks for reply and sorry for late atention, but health problems make me stay far from work....

You'r kind of right, I've tried to upload in jpg format and have no problems at all...

But in my joomla php info I got this:

Quotegd

GD Support   enabled
GD Version   bundled (2.0.34 compatible)
FreeType Support   enabled
FreeType Linkage   with freetype
FreeType Version   2.4.3
GIF Read Support   enabled
GIF Create Support   enabled
JPEG Support   enabled
libJPEG Version   6b
PNG Support   enabled
libPNG Version   1.2.46
WBMP Support   enabled
XBM Support   enabled

Isn´t suppose to be possible to upload PNG's?

Thanks

Depends on png type. eg progressive, 16 bit, 24 bit - always safer to use .jpg for product/cat images
