    • Image appears as icon only

    Posted by cobratoys posts: 2

    I have tried for over a week now to resolve this and clearly I am missing something.

    I have a brand new installation and each time I upload an image (I use the File Galleries), the image appears to upload correctly (no errors) but it will not display a thumbnail of the image.
    The images are all jpg file and they are recognised as such as it does show a red jpg icon, I have checked the settings and it is picking up the GD application, I have disabled Ajax as I have read that might cause an issue

    If I look at the wiki page with the image on it it doesnt show anything there either

    Can anyone offer any suggestions, I am sure I am just overlooking something.

    Thank you

    This may not be your problem, but you get strange results when you upload a jpeg file to the File Gallery that is encoded CMYK instead of RGB.

    Use your browser's "open file" to open the original jpg file. If you get a red x, the jpeg may be encoded CMYK.

    In my experience, the CMYK encoded jpeg files will upload fine to File Galleries, will show a thumbnail after the upload, and will display a thumbnail pop up if you hover over the image name in the gallery file list. But you will get a red x if you try to display the file as an image on a wiki page, or if you select Display from the Actions sub menu in the gallery file list.

    Thanks, just tried what you suggested and the image opens fine. To be sure I opened several images and all open fine direct in the browser.

    Is it possible that something is not set correctly in the php.ini file as I had my isp make changes to that because some of the admin pages werent loading correctly. I had them increase the memory size to fix that problem.
