This is my third appeal for help regarding the publishing of images. My first post was at the beginning of March! I do not think I am being unreasonable with respect to writing 2 posts without a single response.

I know that I am not the only person because I have seen in the Documentation: "adding images doesn't work in my installation and not in the corporate demo website either "by Leif Andre Brekke on 03/04/2004!

Disregarding my attempt to upload images on my site, I decided to test it on your demo website.

I followed the instructions which I will print here so that if I have failed to understand, itcan be pointed out to me.

1. Having logged in to the demo site, I use the drop down menu and choose "image" and then click on New.

2, It asks where I would like the initial placement and I select News

3. I add Name, Caption, drop a jpeg into Local image file for upload and add alternative image text.

4. I click Send for publishing.

5. It returns to News [Folder] Node ID: 50, Object ID 49 and I see "Test" as an image class is there. I click on edit and again, no image!

Would someone kindly tell me what I am doing wrong, please! Again, please note, this is on the demo site at EZ!

Thanking you in advance!

Just a test..can you convert your JPG files into gif files, upload them and check if they work? I know there are/have been some problems with eZ publish and images(regarding differentformats).

My first attempt was using a gif file which was totally rejected by EZ, which is why I then used a jpeg file. The two files are unrelated ie I did not convert one format to another.

What I do not understand is why my problem is not more widely discussed!

Thank you for your reply which is the only reply since I first posted in February!

Regards,

Ros

Hi,

Possible causes of your problem. I am sorry you did not get a quick reply.

1. It sounds like Imagamagick "convert" cannot be found or is not correctly installed.
2. Could also be a problem with GD.
3. Permissions error with the var/storage folder

The setup wizard has checks for these and is a handy way of checking.

The first place to check is Imagemagic Check out the convert threads, this might help http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/troubleshooting/images_do_not_work/you_are_sure_that_you_have_imagemagick_but_its_not_working

I hope this helps
