WP e-Commerce Thumbnail Problem Product Page Only (2 posts)

    Hi, I'm having a very annoying problem with WP e-Commerce. I've been looking around for answers and can't find a solution that works. If someone can help, please, it would be very much appreciated.

    I am using WP 2.9.2 and WP e-Commerce 3.7.5.3, hosted on a Zeus Linux server. My WP site is at http://www.sparrowprimitives.co.uk/wp but I have maintenance mode running at the moment as I am working on a WP version of my static HTML site, which is still live.

    Here is the problem:

    Product category page thumbnails - working
    Product category page lightbox - working

    Individual product page thumbnail - no image, just alt text
    Individual product page lightbox - working

    When I view source on the category page I see:

    `
    <img class="product_image" id="product_image_6" alt="Bless Our Home Shelf Blocks" title="Bless Our Home Shelf Blocks" src="http://www.sparrowprimitives.co.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/thumbnails/1.jpg"/>
    `

    but on the product page:
    `
    <img class="product_image" id="product_image_6" alt="Bless Our Home Shelf Blocks" title="Bless Our Home Shelf Blocks" src="index.php?image_id=9&width=200&height=200" />
    `

    I tried this fix that I found on the plugin's forum:

    I recently came across an issue with featured product thumbnails not displaying on product detail pages, upon some research with FireBug I figure out that the generated image URL is a relative URL by default.

    IE: if you are viewing /products/product/ it will try to pull the image from /products/product/index.php?productid=*image params* rather than /index.php?*image params*

    I fixed this by editing EVERY instance of "index.php?productid=" to "/?productid="

    I don't know if that's the correct way to fix it, or if it will break anything else...but it worked for me. :)

    It didn't work. Pretty much everything I could find involving thumbnails not showing was to do with https image urls, which is not the case here unless I'm really missing something.

    Apologies if this is a stupid question, but I have been using WP for only a few days and I really don't understand why it would be generating the correct url in some places, but not that one.

    If anyone has the solution please let me know, as I need to get this site finished asap! Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Did you manage to find a fix for your problem? I'm currently having the same issues as you were on wp 2.9.2 and wp e-commerce 3.7.6.7.

    Thanks!
