Images not displaying using friendly-URLs ?

[ChurchPath]

Hi everyone,
Am using v1.2.. and when i turn friendly-urls on in the admin area and preview I only see placeholders instead of the images in the products.
Can anyone advise please?

Have you tried regenerating the thumbnails

Hi Chris,
Yes I have, it's seems to be a problem with the path that points to the product images.
It creates the friendly-url ok but it's just that I then can't see the actual thumbnail images.
When I turn off 'friendly-urls' they display fine again.
It's very frustrating but thanks for your reply.
regards,
ChurchPath.

Have a look at your .htaccess file, your image rewrites should have the correct slashes / and \

RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$ /img/p/$1-$2$3.jpg [L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$ /img/c/$1$2.jpg [L,E]

as long as your site is not in subfolder, if in subfolder then you will need that name too
good luck
John

Dear all,

I'm also using version 1.2.0.5 and my product images are not displaying. I have looked in my img/p directory and all the thumbnails are there, as expected. I've added Snol's lines to my .htaccess and restarted Apache, cleared my cache, cleared cookies and still no porducte images. I am running a development install of PS on my localhost on a Windows OS and my PS install is in my server's root dir. I wonder, ChurchPath, if you've resolved this for your install and if so if you could please post your solution?

Best,
Meg

Do yours work if you turn friendly URL off Meg?

Hi John,

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, they do indeed display when I turn friendly off. I am stumped. The image file names all look correct and the rest of the links are working as expected.

My PrestaShop install directory:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\prestashop

And img dir:
C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\prestashop\img

I can confirm that LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is uncommented in my httpd.conf

This has to be something blindly obvious that I'm just not seeing - be kind won't you?

Please note the numbers bulleting my .htaccess entries were added on submission of my reply and are not in my file.

Meg

[megsmitley]

They are in fact comments using hash marks.

Right, thanks for your help!

did you get prestashop to automatically generate the .htaccess file Meg, preferences/friendly URLs/click generate a .htaccess file and use that.

also for reference my .htaccess is this as below

remeber backup..backup..backup any files you are going to change.

dont forget you must have friendly URL enabled BEFORE you generate the .htaccess file

John

Meg

yes the bullet thing happens both ways.

try each .htaccess when you move to live server you may need to add / on each line dependaent on if you will be in subfolder or not

[megsmitley]

Oh goodness. I knew it was something ridiculously obvious. I didn't realise there was a link to generate the file. I thought I had to 'generate' the file with my own entries. Indeed, the .htacess I've just generated through the CMS is working just fine. Gracious, how embarassing. Thanks for your help.

Oh, yes, I use SVN and live to 'revert' my cock ups

Thanks again,
Meg

whhay heeey

well done

[megsmitley]

Great, thanks ever so for your help. Hopefully I'll manage much more competently when I go live.

Thanks,
Meg
