Guest Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 I have been using OSC 2.2 fro quite some time. No problems at all. Recently, we did a big product update...used NAVICAT to bring in the 19,000+ items....again, no problem. Everything came in just fine....categorized correctly, etc. The weird issue is this....although we have photos associated to each product, when we get to the product info page, the picture does not show up. What I do get is a clickable link to the picture. For example, if you click on a product, you get to the page and where the picture should be, I get..... [MODEL NUMBER]. If I click on it, it opens the pic no problem. It just wont display the thumb....NOW THIS IS WHERE IT GETS VERY ODD.....if I add a product through the admin section, everything (including photos work fine). Only the items added through NAVICAT experience the problem above....however, if I make ANY change in the admin section to the NAVICAT imported items (ANY CHANGE AT ALL....change weight, price, etc) and then go to that item, VOILA....thumbs works perfectly. So, why can I change and update any parameter on one of these imported items and it work perfectly. Again, everything imported from navicat is perfect and can see this in the DB when I look at it....except the dang thumb. Take a look (www.theboatplace.net)....click on NEW BOATS...these are admin section added items.....then click on AUDIO AND GAUGES and you will see what I mean.....thanks in advance!
Guest Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? :'( OK....i think I have SOMEWHAT isolated the problem....in the THUMBNAILS directory (\catalog\images\thumbnails) the pics that were referenced in the navicat upload do not have a thumb associated with them. So, with that said, there must be something that takes place when adding a product with pic through the admin section...specifically, it "thumbs" the original pic. Soooooooooooo...how do I do this in bulk for 19000 items? :huh:
♥bruyndoncx Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 perhaps it is worthwhile to investigate a dynamic thumb solution that generates the thumb as/when needed on the catalog side. I use something like that on my site. It also allows to play a little with the size of the thumbs without manually having to generate all thumb images. If your navicat import is only just this once, you might use some desktop tools to generate thumbs and FTP them onto your site thumb directory. I have VSO image resizer on my destop which does just this, but is very good at it ... KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support). So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?! Find the most frequent unique errors to fix: grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt

I created a thumbnail for one and it still did not show and I do have a module for dynamic sizing installed. Sooooooo....back to square one. What is happening when I change anything in the admin/product listing and then the thumb shows up. This may make me crazy....HELP!

Guest Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Still looking for an answer....anyone got anything? of all the problems/learning that I had to tackle on my osc install....this is the ONLY ONE I have not been able to overcome....PLEASE HELP!
spooks Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 I would suspect your issue is dbase related, ie your import caused some minor damage that created the issue. Try a repair in phpMyAdmin.
