Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

i was running Rebuild Image Sizes to change my thumbnail size but after i did this i got this image:
any ideas how i can get my thumb back?

thanks

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

Did you change your image engine (GD or IM) previous to the rebuild?

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

ok, i found that one of my paths was incorrect. so the images are now back.
NEW PROBLEM: my new thumbnails have been cropped. they are not the original just shrunk, but these are cropped strangly.

heres a link: http://eslhq.com/gallery

That's a new one =) Never seen that before.

Maybe Brian has an idea of what's going on (if you didn't change the thumbnail generating code).
Besides that, you still haven't set your paths properlly. See that double slash?

ok i think i have the slash thing worked out: http://eslhq.com/gallery/3/0/pokerface-med.jpg. tried to rebuild the thumbs after that and still no luck, cropped...

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

So, if you haven't changed your image engine nor did you change the code in any way, I have no idea of what's going on.

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

i have no business touching the image engine, didnt touch it.

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

There's something very strange on your gallery.
I haven't set mine to save original and medium sized pictures but you have a lot of pictures for the same photo and the sizes don't fit.
Pokerface, for example has (beside the cropped thumb):
- the displayed image, stated 328 x 500 but it's not
http://eslhq.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=72
- medium size image, should be 328 x 500 but it is 717 x 1094
http://eslhq.com/gallery/3/0/pokerface-med.jpg
- and full size image, is 717 x 1094, the same size as medium

well, if it helps solve the mystery, i use the import script for PP.

i also dont feel like my paths are entirely correct so i will post those:
Gallery URL:
http://eslhq.com/gallery

Files Path
/home/ericbusc/public_html/eslhq/gallery

Files URL
http://eslhq.com/gallery

FTP User Folder Path
/home/ericbusc/public_html/eslhq/gallery/users

FTP User Folder URL
blank

maybe that will help...

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

i think i got it but it would be great if you could help me confirm that. i think i needed to resize the regualre size images first, then do the thumbs :)

let me know what you think rbl...

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

Ahhh... imported from PP. The mystery starts to unfold =)
Maybe you should consider setting things right first (if you save originals, medium pic sizes, etc) and then rebuilding everything again because it doesn't seem very well.

You were right, your paths are wrong.

Files Path should be /home/ericbusc/public_html/eslhq/gallery/files
like it says in the caption, it's "The full path (NOT the URL!) to the folder in which your images will be stored.
Ex: /home/yoursite/public_html/gallery/files"

Files URL should be http://eslhq.com/gallery/files

You only need to set FTP User Folder Path if you will be using uploads by ftp, and if you do, then you must set the FTP User Folder URL

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

thats what confuses me. the photos seem to be here gallery/3/1 or something like that. nothing seems to be stored in the files directory.

i am so confused because now (without changing the paths) things seem to be ok...

:confused:

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

You probably imported them with the wrong paths.
Open your pp import script and see if you have set the path to gallery/files properly.

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

are these wrong?

// The Path to your PhotoPost folder on your server
$photopostpath = '/home/ericbusc/public_html/eslhq/esl_photos';

// The Path to your Forums folder on your server
$vbulletinpath = '/home/ericbusc/public_html/eslhq/esl_forums';

// The Path to your vBadvanced Gallery/files folder on your server
$galleryfilespath = '/home/ericbusc/public_html/eslhq/gallery';

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

i see the problem :)

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

ok, how should i go about re-running the import script? do i have to delete anything?

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

Just move each of those folders (1 - 10) into the files folder and that should at least solve part of the problem.

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

If you want to re-run it just remove the folders it created (1 - 10), change the paths to the correct settings, and then run it again.

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

cool! thanks for your help, both of you! :)

Re: Rebuild Image Sizes turned thumbs into "beach" picture
 

You're welcome! Just remember this: speed reading is bad mmkay? =)

Btw, any change on those cropped thumbnails?
