Ubercart is looking for the image files in
.\root\images\imagecache\products
but the images are actually uploaded to
.\root\images\imagefield_thumbs\products
I can't figure out why, of if there is a setting I am missing somewhere.

Re: Imagecache Problem
I bet your original file is actually in .\root\images\products. Both Image Field and ImageCache make smaller copies of the file you upload for display in various places.
That's if you uploaded the file through the edit form, though. If you used FTP to upload the image manually, you're probably confusing the modules.
The imagecache path is a little confusing because there appears to be something missing. There should be a folder for the particular preset that was requested. .\root\images\imagecache\uc_thumbnail\products for example. If you actually have an ImageCache preset called "products", then that would explain things.
Re: Re: Imagecache Problem
I use the edit form. And yes, the original file is in ./root/images/products (I used the edit form to upload the images). That works fine. I guess I miscommunicated. The system created thumbnail is in .\root\images\imagefield_thumbs\products, but the system is looking for it in .\root\images\imagecache\products.
Where do I look for this ImageCache preset? Or ImageField preset?
Same issue
Yeah I am having the same problem. I have spent probably a good 5-6 hours today researching this problem and I think a lot of people are having this problem.
When we are uploading the image through the product content type the imagefield is not uploading it to the correct preset folder.
Is there anyway to tell UberCart / imageField which preset to use? so it uploads the image to the right preset folder?
OR
Can we somehow change UberCart so it looks for all the images in /files/imagefield_thumbs/
Re: Same issue
This is old, but when I ran across this I thought an answer (of sorts) would be helpful to many people who continue to be confused by ImageCache.
imagefield_thumbs is a directory of images created by ImageField to be used on node edit pages (a thumbnail of the image you just uploaded). It's not meant for use by any other module.
ImageField uploads your images to the directory specified for the field. It then creates a thumbnail (again, only for use on node/edit) in the image field_thumbs directory.
Ubercart provides some default presets to ImageCache when that module is enabled. Ubercart "tells" ImageCache to generate images of various sizes *on-the-fly* as needed. ImageCache generates these new images from the originals uploaded by ImageField -- *not* the ImageField thumbnails.
If you need to change the sizes generated by ImageCache, you can find the presets at admin/build/imagecache. You cannot (and do not want to) change the preset name; this would break Ubercart's integration with ImageCache.
Solved for me
I was running into a similar issue. The uc_thumbs were not showing up for me on a staging site but on a local setup it worked. Ended up being that on the staging site where images were not working drupal was installed in a sub-folder from the main web root. So my path to the images was incorrect, thus causing the problem. So I added node-product.tpl.php to my themes folder and adjusted the path of the images and all is well.
Ubercart showing product_list image in catalog
Ubercart showing product_list image in catalog instead of catalog image
Hi,
My shop is showing
/files/imagecache/product_list/CIMG6019.JPG
on my catalog page, but it should be showing
/files/imagecache/catalog/CIMG6019.JPG
(image in catalog folder is created after i force the browser to show site.com/files/imagecache/catalog/CIMG6019.JPG)
Do you have any idea why it happens ?
Thank you in advance
