Sometimes need to flush cache to generate images

I'm experiencing a similar problem after upgrading to Filefield 6.x-3.5. I see a 404 in my error log generated by imagecache that looks like, "404: Unable to find **originalimagepath**" Clearing cache solves the problem temporarily.

The path began with images/ but the image file's path began with files/images/. Perhaps Imagecache is getting an inappropriate path from Filefield?

We are seeing this same thing occasionally using 6.x-2.0-beta10. It seems to occur intermittently when we add a lot of images at once.

I can confirm this bug has affected a site of mine as well. After having the site up for a few weeks, suddenly inserting images via Insert into CK Editor stopped working for any ImageCache presets, but it still worked for "original image", which is why I suspected it was ImageCache at fault. It would simply insert a blank src="" and checking the imagecache directories, no new files were created.

After finding this thread, I cleared the caches and it works again.

ImageAPI: 6.x-1.6
ImageAPI GD2: 6.x-1.6
ImageCache: 6.x-2.0-beta10
ImageCache UI: 6.x-2.0-beta10
FileField: 6.x-3.2
ImageField: 6.x-3.2
Insert : 6.x-1.0-beta4

i had a local copy for developing and today i uploaded to my server and new presets doesn't work anymore.

I have a 404 error at status report.

what can i do?

*EDIT*
i had a local copy and then i had to change the temp directory in /admin/settings/file-system

Hello, I'm from Russia so sorry for my english.

Solution is: imagecache.module in a file you need to edit two functions:

imagecache_create_url and theme_imagecache

before the function returns, insert the following code

-------------------------------------------
$imagecache_path = imagecache_create_path($presetname, $path);
if (!file_exists($imagecache_path)){
//drupal_set_message('No pictures, makes do');
$preset = imagecache_preset_by_name($presetname);
imagecache_build_derivative($preset['actions'], $path, $imagecache_path);
}
--------------------------------------------
only the variable names $presetname, $path may vary, be careful

Is there any update on this? I am also experiencing this problem...

Everything went fine on my local WAMP server, but once I put the site online the images won't show after I created a node. I had to flush my caches before the images were shown

Also experiencing the problem here. Using the following:

ImageAPI: 6.x-1.0
ImageAPI GD2: 6.x-1.0
ImageCache: 6.x-2.0-beta10
ImageCache UI: 6.x-2.0-beta10
FileField: 6.x-3.7
ImageField: 6.x-3.7

Hi,

did anyone find a solution to this issue?

Hope you're well,

Hi,

in case anyone else runs into this issue, I noticed it was only occurring where I was using imagecache directly in a custom tpl. To get around the issue I created a Rule. On the event 'After saving new content' of node type X add an action 'ImageCache: Flush ALL presets for this node's filefield images'.

Hope this helps someone.

Please reopen if this is still an issue with ImageCache 6.x-2.0-rc1.
