files upload but no thumbnails are generated

hbf

This discussion is related to the FileUpload addon.

when a user uploads a file the original file is placed in the uploads/fileupload/XXX directory and the thumbnails XXX directory is created, but no thumbnail is placed in the directory.

any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Found a nasty workaround bypassing the creation of the thumbnail and displayng directly the final image. I modified the file class.fileupload.plugin.php The function modified is: public function PostController_Upload_Create($Sender) Find the statement: $MediaResponse = array( 'Status' => 'success',...

and replace

'PreviewImageLocation' => Url($PreviewImageLocation),

with

'PreviewImageLocation' => Url(MediaModel::Url($Parsed['Name'])),

And you're done. My final code looks like this:

$MediaResponse = array( 'Status' => 'success', 'MediaID' => $MediaID, 'Filename' => $FileName, 'Filesize' => $FileSize, 'FormatFilesize' => Gdn_Format::Bytes($FileSize,1), 'ProgressKey' => $Sender->ApcKey ? $Sender->ApcKey : '', 'PreviewImageLocation' => /Url($PreviewImageLocation)/ Url(MediaModel::Url($Parsed['Name'])), 'FinalImageLocation' => Url(MediaModel::Url($Parsed['Name'])) );

Hope to be helpful.

I'm facing the same identical issue.

while i really want to get this resolved properly, i have a small hack to the fileupload add-on which mitigates the problem.

open link_files.php find $ThumbnailUrl = MediaModel::ThumbnailUrl($Media); and comment it, and the next line out. and add a new line

$Img .= '(<) img src="'.$DownloadUrl.'" width=100% (/>)';

here is what mine looks like:

/*following lines are original code commented out for thumbnailing issue*/
                  
                  /*$ThumbnailUrl = MediaModel::ThumbnailUrl($Media);
                  
                  $Img .= Img($ThumbnailUrl, array('class' => 'ImageThumbnail'));*/
                  
                  /*next line is temporary hack to resolve thumbnailing issue. */
                  $Img .= '(<)img src="'.$DownloadUrl.'" width=100%(/>)';

unfortunately i can't get the code to show up properly...

remove the parenthesis () around the tag < and /> on the img tags

This workaround seems to work great when the discussion in viewed by the user. Thanks a lot. Now I'm trying to replicate it where the user actually do the upload, which is still not working. I will keep you informed. Thanks again.

Thanks for useful bug. I was need to DISABLE thumbnails by replacing them with file types icons. So I reverted your solution :)
