Multiple of the same images?
« on: November 30, 2002, 09:02:28 AM »
Hello,
As per my previous post, I thought i'd add this as a new subject considering it's a separate problem.  The problem is that I am receiving two lots of the same images.  For example:

I am doing 'batch' uploads via FTP.  All of the relevant subcategories have been created via the control panel and I have transferred via FTP the relevant photos into their subcategories etc...

When I go into control panel, I check for new images and add any new images to the database. NOTE: They only show up as being one image of one.

When I click on Auto Thumbnail, I check for thumbnails and a list of images come up. The list then shows them as double entries, that is there are two of the same images???

I have scoured through the forum and came across a post from the following area:

http://www.4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2737

I did the changes to the includes/function.php bit, uploaded that file yet I am still getting the problem...

Line 881/882 of my functions.php looks like this:

$subcat_ids = array();
    get_subcat_ids($category_id, $category_id, $cat_parent_cache);

I am assuming that I have done that right.

Any help would be appreciated...  as it's not an option for me to do these one by one... and it's the only problem I am now having ...

Many thanks [again]

Sorry, i'm still do not understand what you mean.

1. You uploaded one image file to the category directory, i.e. "data/media/1"
2. You checked out this new image with "Check new images" and added it
3. You created a thumbnail for this image with the Auto-Thumbnailer

So, what is the exact problem?

Hello,
in response to your questions... please find my answers below.

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes [refer below]

The problem is here:

When I click on "Auto-thumbnailer" I see two lots of the same images?

For example

1. "image01.jpg"
2. "image01.jpg"  

... then all the other images, all both showing in lots of two.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been adding in images manually which is pretty tiresome.... I don't know how else I can explain this than what I have already... but your further assistance is appreciated  :)

Cheers!

Are the images also from the same category? Or do you have images with the same filename in different category folders?

Hello,
The images are all uniquely named and were from the same category.
There are no other folders containing the same image names.... guaranteed.


Thanks
