Avatar thumbnail fails to show
Hi Dorien,
First, thank you for the very concise book that you've written. My boyfriend bought it a few days ago and it's been helping us A LOT in building our own community website :)
I would just like to ask help in rendering my avatar to the profile node page. I followed the steps you've written regarding avatar display using imagecache, views and panels modules, however, instead of showing the thickbox thumbnail preset, it outputs this:
[user-name]
The above output is clickable though. And when I click it, it displays the original image size in thickbox, which is looking great.
I've been playing around with views and panel pages settings, and also the display settings of the avatar field in the profile content type, but the output is still the same.
However, when I use another display setting in views, instead of the panel pane, the avatar shows the thumbnail correctly. I tried the block display setting and it works fine.
The illustration in your ebook shows clearly that the avatar should display the thumbnail that I've set using imagecache, so I figured I'm doing something wrong.
The output looks like a token replacement value... I really don't know what else to do :(
I hope you could point me my mistakes in setting this up. Thank you very much!
All the best,
Cecille

2. figured it out!
Thank you Dorien for your reply :)
Yes, you are right. No thumb images were successfully created before. I checked my imagecache folder, and the thumb folder was empty.
Reason is, I forgot to turn on the ImageAPI GD2! Quite stupid really... of course without it the images won't be processed properly.
I'm really happy to know that both ImageCache and Thickbox are working just fine. And so are the Views and Panels module. No bug reports for me :D
Thanks so much Dorien, again for the ebook, and the much needed guidance to this problem.
Regards,
Cecille

Hi,
Thanks for your comment!
Does it display when you select imagecache preset (in the field's display options in the view), but without thickbox?
One possibility is that the thumb images are not created. You can check if they are in your /sites/default/files/imagecache folder.
If the presets work fine, the problem would be somewhere with thickbox.
