Magento

i figured that my images do get uploaded physically, into media/tmp/catalog.... but they are not put into the media/catalog… folder.. which might be the problem.. the cause of it.. well thats the question now, what

Where are you guys seeing these tmp and upload folders?? When I look into the media folder, all I have is a catalogue folder and that’s it.  When you extract the zip file for the magento package of the latest release, None of those folders are inside of the media folder.  Does magento automatically create these when you start uploading images??

yap. must be. i dont have them after installation but the upload process seems to create them (maybe even cleans up after successful upload, dunno). i am just trying to dig deeper and am wondering if it is related to my other problem, that something truncates all my texts after 90 chars. are you experiencing this problem as well?

Hi,

No I don’t have the other problem.  Everything else in the admin works perfectly too. I don’t have any problems.. It’s just uploading product images that messes up and logs me out when I try to do so.

I am having the exact same problem as Whitewolf. I really hope someone is able to find a solution…

Um, I gotta *different* problem with image uploads--I don’t have a “Add Image” button.  Yes, I turned off SSL, in both front/back ends.  When I click on “Browse files” or Upload files” nothing happens, except the click of my mouse.  What am I doing wrong??  Is this a noob mistake in the configuration?

you can join me to the growing list of people having an image upload problem to products.  I have the exact same “it’s logs me out, returns me to admin login page, and DOES NOT upload the image.  I’ve tested on a couple of different computers, xp and vista, diff browsers… same thing.  I have confirmed with my hosting company that I got all the right addons and sys requirements.. and everything else seems to be running fine (including uploading of product CATEGORY images.) but when I try to upload images to products, it’s crashes out to the login screen.  I would love to hear how anybody tackles this problem because it looks like Magento could be a promising platform…

OK, for my problem, I think I got it figured out:  It’s An Adobe Flash issue on Firefox 3.  I’m currently running Ubuntu (Hardy) and found this interesting link in the Ubuntu forums:

Comprehensive Multimedia & Video How-to

Among other things, it details how to accomplish a clean uninstall/reinstall on media components in Ubuntu.  After I did this, my image upload problems in Magento went away.  Don’t know if this actually was the fix, but thought I would post it anyway. 

For anyone using Windows, I couldn’t tell ya . . .

Hi there, I also have the problem, when saving images to products and, get logged out and so on.

Bugt this fix that you have found is not working for me ......

I’m running IE 7.0 and I have also tried Firefox.

So can anyone help, with IE 7.0 ?

we are alot out there who cant upload any pictures to our pictures

Hope to hear from you!

Best regards,

the problem for me was that something in the zend platform cut down strings after 90 characters (which also affected the image string). therefore the image upload did not work. after disabling the zend plattform all works fine.

regarding the ssl issues.. i figured out that it works with and without ssl, however if you use ssl you have to have a valid certificate (no self assigned possible)

I have the same problem - can’t upload images. But it works in my home (windows) computer so I was able to learn where Magento is holding product images

You can add the pictures manually (or write your own script):
- Upoad pictures to folder: media/catalog/products (or make some subfolders there)
- add a line into table ‘catalog_product_entity_media_gallery’ (I hope you’ll find it, there are 193! tables in the database)

attribute_id: 62
entity_id: your product id
value: the file name (with subfolder if needed)

Maybe it helps if you can’t wait the bugfix.

Hi all in this thread.

Well, yesterday there was an update to the Core, its now 1.019870.

I tried to to install that so the Image upload problem maybe could be resolved.
Bu that didnt work out yet.

I have checked in the buglist, and the problem with uploading pictures to products, should be “resolved”.
But in what fix? I cantseem to fine out, where the “resolved” bugs can be downloaded....

Its really not funny having a shop, wthout products in it

So, can anyone help?

Best regards,
Mobimob

We are in the process of installing the latest version of Magento Commerce, which is v1.019870.
Will test it out to see whether this problems happens or not.

Hi, well.
I can tell you that it does have the same problem, stil....

I have the newest version installed, and the uploading/saving images cant not be done.
When trying to save, were logged out of the admin.

So....what can it be…
