Images as attachements

1 Jul 28, 2015 22:30    

Hi there community.

I have a rather strange problem with my images in photoblog.

Some of them are displayed properly (see <a href="http://www.icesta.cz/index.php/2014/08/13/london31-jpg?blog=4">thisone</a>) but some pictures appears rather as a separate attachement (see <a href="http://www.icesta.cz/index.php/2014/08/13/london37-jpg?blog=4">thisone</a>, notice the London41.jpg on the the right)

I have created all my photoblog posts using back-office file manager - selecting all desired files and clicking "Make post from selected files". I have treated all files the same way so basically I see no reason why some are "a picture" but some "an attachment". But it appears (seems randomly) within all my photoblog.

Any comments how can I fix/avoid that?

6.5.0-stable released on 24/06/15

Thanks a LOT!

Can you post a screenshot of the file attachments area of the post that has a problem?

Thanks.

No, I mean the area in the backoffice where we can see all the files attached to the "Greenwich" post.

It would be nice to read other people's mind like Mel Gibson in the a movie called :

What Women Want (2000)

(*laughing*) :)

Hope this one solved.

OK, weird. It seems b2evolution/PHP cannot open the image file.

(just to make sure the file is Ok, I have downloaded your image and tried to upload it on a test install and it worked as expected.)

So my best bet is that there is a file permission issue. Do you know how to check the unix file permissions + user + group on your server?

There might be a "security helper" doing weird things in the background.

Oh that brings us back to "who is your webhost", right? Well nevermind...

.. yep, my first ques was exactly that, but all my pictures have 775 permissions, just for the sake of the blog. The "problematic" one has the same as others, b2evo even created the small ikons in .evocash as with all others...

My provider is WEDOS (in Czech republic) and I have webftp access where I can play with the access rights.

Maybe its just something stupid we will spend weeks figuring out... so I rather ask... How do I link other pictures so they appear as the good ones (I will delete the bad ones and link again). When I do "Link Existing files" it puts them as a link into the text of the blog, not as an image like the others... :(

Click on the link icon number 8 as shown here: http://b2evolution.net/man/adding-photos-or-images (we're making it more visible in an upcoming release)

Also in b2evo 6.6.1 you can just drag and drop additional files **directly** into the attachments area of your post and no further click is needed.
