Hi there. I'm using drupal 6.10 and the latest 2.x snap of ubercart. I've got it mostly working, but I can't seem to get images to show up with products in the catalog. All of the required modules are installed and enabled. I followed the troubleshooting things in the FAQ to the letter. When I go to "store administration" under Images I see:

Click here to automatically configure the following items for core image support:
* The Image file field has not been created for products.

So I click on the link, but it doesn't appear to do anything. If I attach a file to the product in the product edit page, a link appears on the product page and I can click that and see the image. But I'd like the image to display by itself. Also, I am able to get an image to display along with each subcategory in the catalog. So I'm assuming this has got to be some simple setting that I've missed.

What am I doing wrong?

Best regards,

I upload images for each product and they show up on the product "edit" page when I'm adding content. However if I look at:

Store Administration --> Products

All of the products are listed, but the column for IMAGE says "n/a" for each product. I've been monkeying around with this for about 24 hours now and can't sort out what I've done wrong. Any ideas?

Best,

So it would seem that nobody else knows the answer. Sad

I am having the exact same problem with no luck for the past 3 weeks. Bumping this thread hoping someone has an answer.

Edit: I Finally got it working.. I deleted the Image field from the product in content management-> content types -> manage fields I then went back to the auto config in store administration and reran it. It authenticated fine and all is well. I hope this works for you as I had the exact same issue you describe.

Mad props to nakedruner96 for posting the solution to this; it had me stumped for a while too. The original thread is over here.

Note that this process will delete any images you've already attached to your products… In my case it wasn't a big deal, though.

We were having similar problems after upgrading from 5 to 6 and all we needed to do was change the path in the content-type product image. GL!

I tried practically everything that's been posted on the web about this problem. I tried
removing the image field and running the auto config in store administration and still, no luck. I'm using bluehost as a hosting company so I don't think I can enable clean urls.

There has to be a way to get this to work!!!!!

Some hosting firms indicate that they do Drupal sites. And then you find out they are novices at running Drupal or put up barriers of one kind or another that hinder performance.

Have switched all of my Drupal sites over to Hot Drupal. No issues so far and clean URL's works like it should. There are of course other choices that also work well.

Tried the above.. didnt work. looking at the code generated for the product main page i get
  <div class="product-image"><div class="main-product-image"><a href="http://246pain.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/product_full/flower_198.jpg" title="Picture Title" rel="lightbox[0]"><img src="http://246pain.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/product/flower_198.jpg" alt="" title=""  class="imagecache imagecache-product" /></a>

so its looking for the product pictue in two locations on this page.. NEITHER of these locations exist when i look at my directory tree in filezilla.

SO,,, ubercart is not creating the folders and not putting the pictures in the folders..

ANY IDEA WHY?

to add.. if I manually create the folders and FTP the pictures, they do show up on the pages.. but I do not want to do this manually every time..

IDEAS?

Thanks,
Butch
