I believe I have all of the settings/modules correct however I when I click the link to automatically set up image settings (under Store Administration > Status Messages) the page refreshes and the message remains (* The Image file field has not been created for products.). I am thinking that this is a file permissions issue but I am not sure which directory this could relate too.
Drupal 6.4
ImageCache 6.x-2.0-beta8

I did a search and it came back with results of people who had managed to get the automatic setup to work but were still having issues.

Re: Images - Store Administration > Status Messages linkto set u

Let's try easy things first Smiling
Have you been on /admin/settings/file-system ? And if so - is the file system path (default: sites/default/files) on the server? This is required to create folders inside files.

The other thing I would strongly recommend you is an update to d6.9

Yes the default file path is set. I do see an imagecache folder has already been created in the directory. I also verified that folder permissions were 755.

Re: Re: Re: Images - Store Administration > Status Messages link

I just realized that I am still on ImageCache 6.x-2.0-beta5, a quick look through the IC issue tracker shows there where changes related to the presets and more issues. So you probably find an answer there what's going on.

As a quick fix might help you to create the presets manually through the IC UI or you could try to downgrade.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Images - Store Administration > Status Messages

A few weeks later and a few more nights working and I am still on this issue. I have not been working on this solid but a few hours these past few nights.

I made some progress:
I manually created the following presets:
(Some already existed but I wanted to double check my list)
cart
category
product
product_full
product_list
thumbnail
uc_category
uc_thumbnail

I realize thumbnail and category may be redundant with the uc_category and uc_thumbnail but I created them after following a few other posts.

I am able to upload images to categories and they do show up when navigating the menu. However I cannot find where these files are being moved to when they are uploaded. They do not appear in any image cache files.

Images are being uploaded but they are not being uploaded to the files/tmp directory. Instead the load directly to files/ directory. They do not ever move from there as best I can tell. When I remove the files from the product they do NOT remove themselves from the files/ directory.

I still cannot get the Store Administration -> Images status message to complete. I still get the message saying "Default image support configured for Ubercart products using CCK and ImageCache." when I click to configure. The yellow triangle persists though.

Thanks in advance. I am working on this problem until it is solved this time as deadlines are closing in.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Images - Store Administration > Status Messa

Tried a few more things with no luck. Reinstalled imagecache and upgraded to latest drupal version (6.10). When I reran the image auto config in stored configuration after resinstalling everything all of the messages clear up except : The Image file field has not been created for products.

Ok I finally got it to work. I deleted the image field from the product then reran the auto configuration in the store administration page again.

Update

I am having the same message problem. How did you delete the image field?
Or did you just delete all the images?
Very frustrated

Deleting the image field

slipsey1, I imagine you've figured this out or given up by now, but I just had to figure it out myself. I'll stick the steps here for the next poor bastard newbie Googling this problem. (Because it DID work for me, too.)

1) Administer->Content Management->Content Types
2) Click "manage fields" next to Product.
3) Next to Image, click "remove". Their may be a few warnings to accept after this, and you evidently lose all your images, but who cares. They didn't work anyway.

Now when I went to Store Administration and clicked the "click here" next to Images, it not only gave the status message, it gave me the green check, and images are working.

Re: Images - Store Administration > Status Messages linkto set u

well, that's better than where I am. i accidentally configured the images for products to go into /sites/default/files, when they apparently need to go into files/imagecache/product, because ubercart wants to put them in there.

But now, I can't access the configuration to change this path. there's literally noplace in store admin that I can find that allows you to change this path. If I could just change it, images would show. sigh.

You can change the path under "path settings" within the configuration of actual image field in your content type.

Re: Images - Store Administration > Status Messages linkto set u

I'm having the same issue. The proposed fixes at http://drupal.org/node/482702 did not work.

When we upload images when creating a product, where are they supposed to show up in our file directory (mine are showing up in sites/drupal/files and I can see that it also creates another version with a file name appended by '_0')?

And if they're not showing up in the right place, how do we change that?

Thanks guys.

EDIT: I actually did have a path mismatch between my content type configuration settings and my actual file directory. By default, it looks like Ubercart wants to place uploaded images in wherever your overall default path setting is (which, if left unchanged, would be sites/default/files). Don't mess around with imagecache folders Ubercart / those modules will do that work for you.
