chank Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hi, I'm new to all this so hoping that someone on here will be able to help me out. I have just done a fresh install of oscommerce but I have a problem with my images, they are either broken or not displaying correctly. http://www.poochie-couture.co.uk/catalog/ Anyone know what could be causing this?? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 If you used an FTP program to upload the images and you used ASCII mode as opposed to BINARY mode (for the images), that will cause images to be screwed up. The fix for that would be to re-upload the image files in BINARY mode this time. :) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I reloaded everything in binary mode and it's fixed most of the images but some of them are still broken. Buttons such as 'add to cart' are still distorted, do I need to change the permissions for the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I couldn't find any broken or distorted images.... :unsure: If the permissions on the folder weren't correct, you wouldn't be seeing any images at all.

Gauravs Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I couldn't find any broken or distorted images....:unsure: Image caching on server or browser would lead to that ... I checked and all images look good now. Best Regards,Gaurav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Whenever I make changes to a web page, I always hold down the <Ctrl> key while doing a "refresh page". This forces the browser (works with Internet Explorer and Firefox anyway) to reload the web page from the sever, thus you will always get "the latest". ;) If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.
