Hi,
I'm currently migrating a Joomla 1.5 website to 2.5. For some reason, the Album Manager images won't show the albums thumbnails on the admin page on my 2.5 instance (see screenshot).
I have compared the image src URLs between the two versions.
2.5: /administrator/cache/muscol/muscol_cache_40_8daa8c4e90_1375026619_abcde.jpg
1.5: /components/com_muscol/helpers/image.php?file=/images/albums/1375026619_abcde.jpg&width=40
On the 1.5 one, it works fine - the image exists in the /images/albums folder. On the 2.5, it doesn't - no files in the /administrator/cache folder, not even the muscol folder.
Why is this happening and how can we fix it?
Thank you.

yeah I understand what you mean. the URL is "correct" but it is resolving it incorrectly because it takes /administrator as the "root" when it should not...
since I can't access the site... how do you feel about modifying a PHP file?
here is what you would need to try:
open /components/com_muscol/helpers/helpers.php
at around line 306 you will find a function called "getThumbnailSrc". can you replace the whole function for this one? :

0I asume the images in frontend are showing up, is that correct?
in that case, the problem must be only a relative path layout
it should be
cache/muscol/muscol_cache_40_8daa8c4e90_1375026619_abcde.jpg
and not
administrator/cache/muscol/muscol_cache_40_8daa8c4e90_1375026619_abcde.jpg
the strange thing is I can't reproduce this issue on my end.. what version of J 2.5 are you using? can you maybe give me temporary access to take a look at this? support@ joomlathat.com -

0That's correct, images show up on frontend (and when editing an album).
Also, I was mistaken. The actual image src attribute is indeed "cache/muscol/muscol_cache_40_8daa8c4e90_1375026619_abcde.jpg" as you mention, but it still won't show the image. The admin page URL being "/administrator/index.php?option=com_muscol", it then tries to resolve "administrator/cache/muscol/muscol_cache_40_8daa8c4e90_1375026619_abcde.jpg" which doesn't exist.
When editing the album, the image src attribute is "../images/albums/1375026619_abcde.jpg". Shouldn't the other URL start with "../" as well? When I add it in Chrome's Inspector it seems to resolve the image alright.
I'm on Joomla 2.5.6. I can't really give you an access to the instance because I'm working on it locally on my own machine (not hosted). -

0Ok so I did replace the function with the one you provided. At first it didn't work, but after replacing
else return "/" . MusColGraphics::renderThumb ($file , $width , $height ) ;
with
else return "../" . MusColGraphics::renderThumb ($file , $width , $height ) ;
it did the trick.
The reason is that the Joomla instance lives is in a subfolder of the domain (e.g. example.com/joomla).
Do you think this hack is stable and should keep working with future upgrades of Joomla? -
