Hi group. I've posted this in the satchmo group but am posting here
as well in hopes of getting some help.

This error is caused by this code:

{% if product.main_image %}
<center>
{% thumbnail product.main_image.picture 85x85 as image
%}
<a href="{{ product.get_absolute_url }}"><img
src="{{ image }}" width="{{ image.width }}"
height="{{ image.height }}" /></a>
</center>
{% endif %}

it makes use of sorl thumbnail to resize images on the fly i believe.
We can import sorl thumbnail into python from command line just fine.

If anyone uses satchmo for their ecommerce store have you run into
this error? How did you resolve. Please help and thank you in
advance.

You haven't loaded the template tag library that defines the thumbnail tag.

{% load thumbnail_tags %}

or whatever.

hey daniel -

we've got {%load thumbnail%} at the top of the standard satchmo
template.

Hey Daniel -

we've got {% load thumbnail%} at the top of the template (a standard
satchmo template anyway)... running version 3.2.5 for sorl.

I ran into this issue also with the latest version of satchmo and sorl-
thumbnail. According to the sorl-thumbnail documentation, the tag
needs to be closed like so:

{% thumbnail item.image "100x100" crop="center" as im %}
<img src="{{ im.url }}" width="{{ im.width }}"
height="{{ im.height }}">
{% endthumbnail %}

It is quite likely you are (as am I) using code that expects an older
version of sorl-thumbnail.
http://thumbnail.sorl.net/examples.html

Options are possibly: use an older version of sorl-thumbnail, or
update templates.

Check in settings.py installed apps for the entry
'satchmo_utils.thumbnail', If not istalled add this.If you are using
new version you may need to add {% endthumbnail %} in the templates
before closing endif
