CKFinder is setup and I can upload images and insert them into CKEditor.
However, my problem is that in Thumbnail view all I get is a white panel but no thumbnail of the image. Double clicking the blank thumbnail placeholder inserts the full-size image into the document but obviously I want to be able to see the thumbnail.
I am using a custom folder for image uploads and this is working. However, when I look on the server I see that inside the folder _thumbs I have a subfolder called Images and the thumbnails are in there. Shouldn't the thumbnails be inside the _thumbs folder? Yet if I manually put the thumbnails into the _thumbs folder nothing changes (still no thumbnails).
Can anyone help resolve this? I have tried to find similar posts but I can't seem to search this forum. Thanks in advance.
PS if it helps:
ckfinder is in the root directory
the files (images, files etc) are in /siteadmin/resources/
I have set $baseUrl = '/siteadmin/resources/'; and $baseDir ='/home/amsvgei5/public_html/siteadmin/resources/';
GD2 is enabled on the server. I am now seeing the following structure
/siteadmin/resources/_thumbs/Images/Images/ with images in both the folders called Image.
Check your libraries
I compile PHP and libraries from source. Which I have to remember to update PHP whenever I update my libraries. If I don't I get the exact same result you have. Blank thumbnails. PHP uses its own tweaked version of GD. The source version up to the alpha release just won't work! Haven't tried GD2. Just make sure that if you update PNG, JPEG.... That you update GD2 and than update PHP with your new libraries. That is, if this is your situation.
Just got done reading issues with GD2
GD2 is still in release candidate phase. Thus they are working on bug fixes. It appears there are some issues with PNG and JPEG rendering. I'd use PHP's current default GD library until the bugs have been fixed.
