Xthreads is not creating thumbnails for my uploaded images anymore after moving servers. There were a few permissions that I had to re set to get xthreads working again. Everything is fine, except for the thumbnails. Are there other files that I need to set permissions for? The xthreads uploads folder is set to 777.
Is it for uploaded images only or for every time you upload a new images?
If it's for uploaded images only, try to run the Rebuild XThreads Attachment Thumbnails tools.
It's for all the new images that I upload. The old images are still there.
That didn't work either, I'm going to change it back because now, none of the images show up except for a select few now.
The full size images get uploaded and work fine. Not so sure why the images no longer work. The thumbnails of some of them that were still there disappeared from the folders too.
I'm noticing a pattern in the missing thumbnails. They are all larger images. 320*141 is the biggest image that shows up. Could the dimensions play a role in this?
Display format = <a href="{URL}" target="_blank"><img src="{URL}/thumb160x120" alt="{$thread['subject']} Screenshot" title="{$GLOBALS['threadfields']['fscr2']}" style="border: 1px solid #191715; padding: 3px; margin: 3px;" /></a>
It doesn't show a broken image, it just shows an empty box. So I'm assuming it's using the blank replacement value which is as if nothing was uploaded.
Some things to check:
- Check the values in the thumbnail generation textbox for the thread field - if the dimension is not specified there, it won't show up (or shouldn't)
- If you attach an image using MyBB's attachment system, does it generate a thumbnail?
- Check the xthreads upload folder and see what files get created when you upload an image
No, normal attachments don't show up either.
So now, I assume this isn't an xthreads issue. It must be the server configuration.
Can you let me know what server side requirements are needed for xthreads? I've gotten the not showing up errors fixed, but the images now only appear sometimes. I think it has something to do with the cache. If you can let me know what the requirements are for the server, that would be great!
What you did to fix the not showing up errors?
As far as I know, there is no specific requirements to run XThreads. If you can run MyBB without any problem, you should be able to run XThreads.
From my experience, I can run XThreads even in free hosts without any problem. And I run it in a shared hosting. And I have an experience moving my board from a free host to a shared host while running XThreads. I don't have any problem with it. I just need to re-check the CHMOD of my cache and uploads folders.
But I think you need to wait Yumi/ZiNgA to reply about it.
