The problem with thumbnail

[nttdocomo]

I downloadED the latest development version of Satchmo, and installed
it follow the document in the Satchmo project website. But I
encountered a problem the same as #495, in the store website the
tumbnail url is a absolute path. I don't know is it a bug or there is
some the wrong in my setting. Is there anyone can help me?

python 2.62
Django 1.1 beta
Satchmo 0.9 pre

In the website, the thumbnail src is "/static/d:/project/mystore/
static/images/productimage-picture-default_jpg_85x85_q85.jpg", in the
database table, the value is "d:/project/mystore/static/images/
productimage-picture-default_jpg_85x85_q85.jpg".

Is there anyone knows what happend?

I had this problem too, I ignored it at the beginning and now it is gone. I am not sure what got rid of the problem but my guess is it's settings related. Most likely MEDIA_URL and/or MEDIA_ROOT. But there has also been allot of other changes to my code base. I.e tracking Django Trunk through a number of sprints.

I haved compare with the correct initial data with mine, and find it
in the product_productimage table, the picture field save a "images/
XX.jpg" in the correct one and in my table it save "d:/projct/mystore/
static/images/XX.jpg". what's going on?

[nttdocomo]

I think I got the point. In the Satchmo_utils\thumbnail\utils.py,
there is 258:

if path.startswith(media_root):
path = path[len(media_root):]
if path[0] == '/':
path = path[1:]
the value of "path" is "d:\project\mystore\static\images"., and the
value of "media_root" is "D:\project\mystore\static". that is the
point.

if path.startswith(media_root):
path = path[len(media_root):]

it means that path = \images. Because the value of path and
media_root, the path is not startswith media_root. so it use "d:
\project\mystore\static\images" to store the thumbnail path in the
product_productimage table.

And I think what make it different?

[nttdocomo]

Now I change:

media_root = os.path.normpath(settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

if path.startswith(media_root):
path = path[len(media_root):]
if path[0] == '/':
path = path[1:]

to:

media_root = os.path.normpath(settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
if path.startswith(media_root.lower()):
path = path[len(media_root)+1:]

if path[0] == '/':
path = path[1:]

it is work find

On some filesystems /mnt/MediaFiles is not the same as /mnt/mediafiles on others it is.

Can you tell me how to fixed this problem?

[Simon]

I can't tell you exactly how to fix the problem as I have not deployed Django on windows. But you should look into why path is set to d:\proj.... and not D:\proj....

Also in a number of places in the Django settings docs it says that on windows you should use / and not \ in you paths. Not sure if that applies here.

You could try setting settings.MEDIA_ROOT to d:\proj...
