Problem uploading product images

When I go to upload a product image it does not upload I get the upload spinning icon off to the right but nothing happens. I read a post where someone suggested installing something on the server, but that is not the case because I have another opencart site on the server and am able to upload images without a problem.

Any ideas?

Could be a number of things...
1. Configuration - check upload folder settings
2. Permissions - do you have permission to upload to that folder via PHP?

I have exactly the same problem. Changed the permissions of folder "image" to 0777 but nothing happens.

Are there any error messages? Turn on php errors to display to see if you can get a message to allow you to pinpoint where the problem is.

Try reinstalling perhaps.

I have just installed OpenCart for the first time and image uploads are working perfectly.

You may have had an ftp error perhaps or a transfer failiure on a particular file. Might be worth doing a quick comparison with your local version to see if anything is missing, or any filesizes are 0k.

Hope this helps,

Paul.

do you have display parse time set to yes?

if so turn it off!

hi all,
I have the same problem, but the ideea is that the foto is uploaded on the server but is not assigned on the product.
all the permision is fine, settings ar fine, but not work.
I use the latest version of opencart (1.2.8 ). with an older version work fine, but with this, no. can someone help us ?

Hello!

I solved this problem editing the database. Open the database with your server's tool.
In my case it's PhpMyAdmin. The problem is that the image file isn`t assigned to the product. So, you can upload the image to the folder, and then edit the product table.
Browse the table, and choose your product. Then, write in the field image the name of your file. Just write the file name and extension, not path or anything.

After that, erase the cache file in the cache path: cache.product.latest.xxx
because it's not updated, and then all is solved.

10x for the tip, is usefull for 10-20 products... but when you have 2-3.000 is a curse

Hey at all,
I use firefox with firebug extension. The firebug showed an bug for the file "ajaxupload.3.1.js" on line 474. Perhaps there is something wrong.

Then I saw the tip from Daniel that ist really easy to do. As Daniel said I turned off the "display of parse time". After that Ican upload the pics perfectly.

Thanks to Daniel and the others.

Hi!

I set "display of parse time" off, but it didn´t work for me. I will try downgrading to 1.2.6

I too have had someone report they could not upload images. Am waiting to get more info but the parse timing to off doesn't seem to be the cause as was set to off anyway. It could be the user being daft but I dont think it is. Everything is working fine for me. Very strange. I have tested in firefox and ie7. will post if I get any more details or clues to the prob, just thought I would mention it.

It's not the user being daft. That's for certain.

Lol :-)

I still have not solved the problem. Get this, I can upload images on IE7 and Firefox, but my user, using my login and password, still can't upload. Surely this means that it is not opencart that has the problem. That the issue lies elsewhere......but where do I start with that one? Do I have to actually go over to the users house myself for testing (over a 100 miles away)?

So, what do I do now?

On Friday I shall be testing the system from a remote computer to see if I can repeat the bug (actually someone elses house, in the next town). These weird AJAX problems (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't) have had me stumped me before. The solution at that time was a complete rebuild with a new system (and no AJAX - it was an image upload problem then as well).

But I love opencart - bloody, bloody, bloody image uploads

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Paul.

check your antivirus and any toolbars you have installed.

I'm also using IE8 and it works fine.

I might have another solution for fixing this problem, but i want to see if we can fix the current script.

I try it with and without antivirus, even on 3 pc's, I tryit with opera, firefox, ie 7 and 8, even with old netscape, I try it on 2 diferent hostingsI with diferent OS (windows and linux), nothing... can't upload the image.

pm me your details so i can login to your admin so i can test this for myself.

also check you do noit have parse time on.

Wow, you have more patience than me! Although I feel your pain brother!


Hi Daniel,

I have read about Norton Antivirus hang ups (which my user is using) and suggestions have included turning off the script blocking etc. However, on a thread on another board users were all agreeing that actually turning off the ajax call was probably a good idea. Is there a way to do that easily, so that the image upload involves a reload of the page. I think most users would be ok with that, or not even notice. (Although I like the slick image upload and would like to keep it).

There have been reports too of IE7 hanging up with multiple requests, or with looping through nested loops that perform http requests. Unfortunately, debugging all this is all a bit beyond me or my resources.

The upload script seems to work for most people so perhaps it would be acceptable to release a patch for people experiencing this problem. Perhaps a patch that turns off the ajax image upload, although contained in the tabs, I do not know how this would work.

Thank you again for your help,

Paul.
