Was this information Helpful?

I have a site that already makes extensive use of ImageCache2.x
I'm trying to add a store for video and still graphic file downloads. It would be nice to be able to access the originals outside of the web directories for building the images for the store.

I see that the modules linked to from the Ubercart installation page list the 1.x versions of ImageCache & ThickBox - and I know about the version-number linkage between the two.

Thus, the question I put in the subject...
Is Ubercart compatible with ImageCache2.x and ThickBox2.x?

THANKS

As far as I know, Ubercart isn't compatible with those versions yet.. I do know they're working on Ubercart for Drupal 6, and maybe that will bring compatibility with those modules?

I agree that it needs to work with those versions... Maybe someone with some $ can bribe the developers into making those changes? =)

I second that

I second Lyle's opinion. I have 3 sites using ubercart with imagecache 2.x and workflow-ng 2.x and they work without a problem. Though I want to believe that the UC did make the imagecache presets, but it may have been that I created the sites with imagecahce 1.x and then upgraded.

The only issue I have been having with imagecache is that when an images is uploaded it doesn't show. Part of that is I'm on windows server for development testing and it doesn't have clean urls.

So you would say Imagecache 1.x for the install, then upgrade it to Imagecache 2.x, until Ubercart is upgraded to work with it?

Re: Is Ubercart compatible with ImageCache2.x and ThickBox2.x?

The only thing incompatible about them is that Ubercart won't automatically create presets for its own use. So, if you want to use Ubercart with Imagecache 2.x, you have to make them yourself. Their names are in the documentation (I think. They really should be.), and you can give them any actions you want.

For what it's worth Imagecache 1.7 was just released which has the fix in it so you no longer need to run 1.x dev.

+1, Tim - just tested 1.7 on the Livetest with no troubles. Updating all our docs now. Smiling

Thanks for all the replies!

Time to play with it all and make it work, but I think it will.

Thanks!

Caching of images resolved?

Should the nasty caching of Images issue with Imagechache 2 http://drupal.org/node/303419 also be resolved with 1.7 ?
