Migration from vm1 -> vm2. Problem with category images

[mark R]

Hi all,
I have successfully migrated my data products/categories etc.. but i appear to have found a snag with my migrated categories....
On the categories i have transferred i cannot add category pictures??? It uploads but doesn't show on my browse pages.
If i create a new category with an image it works ok?
Any ideas??
Many thanks
Mark

dyanamic thumbnails turned on?

[mark R]

yes... i have dynamic thumbnails turned on...
I have clicked create thumbnail which creates the thumbnail in the category/resized directory

It also displays the image in the media library, but it does not have anything in the Role column?? (although is says category in the actual table (phpmyadmin))

Thanks again.

is there a vendor /ownership difference?

[mark R]

I have multivendor turned off, is there something else i should check?

so is the image url in the database for the old category?

[mark R]

I have just uploaded a image to an old category.
The url has been inserted into the virtuemart_medias table.
and also the thumb has been created in images/stories/virtuemart/category/resized/

which i can view if i enter its address directly into the address bar.

thanks again

do you have the "file published" checked?

AND what version are you using?

and have you tried synchorize media?

[mark R]

I have synchronised several times... and i have just updated to k and still have the issue

So the migrated categories behave different than the fresh created ones. okey

But what do you mean with, "cannot add category pictures? It uploads but doesnt show on my browse pages".

How do you know that it uploads? Does the image appear then as attached image in the category edit view (BE). Because when you want to test your images, you shouldnt look on the browse page, you must be sure that the image is attached to the category.

Hi all,

When i am in edit category i select an image vie choose, click on the ulpoad and click save.
The image then appears in the edit category images tab, but i dont see an option to attache image ?

Use a space in the search. Be aware you attach images. The uploading option is a kind of "finetuning". I would mainly use the media synchroniser.

nope still no joy.
I have clicked edit category searched for image, clicked on image and then clicked save.
Image displays on the category edit page but not on the shop browse/view pages?
image and thumb exists in the image directories.

thanks again
