Hey all.

So I tried upgrading my Joomla site from 1.0.9 to 1.0.10 and everything seemed fine in the beginning but then I noticed the following problem:

2 of the 10 section images (for example asterisk.png or clock.jpg) disappeared on the corresponding site's pages !

Let me notice that both these sections are of  "Section Table" types. But most of my sections are of this type and their images show up...

I changed them via the admin panel to something else, but no image was shown.
I tried uploading my own section images and I selected them at the admin panel but they just wouldn't show up.

I deleted the installation and uploaded again my old 1.0.9 backuped files and everything worked fine.

I re-uploaded the patch files for 10.0.10 and again I had the same problem with the same 2 section images not showing.

Anyone has any similar experience?
Or any solution to this?

thanx in advance.

Regarding the abovementioned problem...

I'm thinking about trying something else. Instead of uploading the 1.0.9 -> 1.0.10 patch I could upload the full 1.0.10 package (and overwrite the current 1.0.9 files) and delete the installation folder.

Would this cause any problems?

So I tried uploading the whole 1.0.10 package (except the installation forlder, and the configuration.php) but the problem was not solved.

Could this have to do with changes on the code of Joomla! with the 1.0.10 version ?

I mean what else could this be ?  :-\

Hi!

I just upgraded from 1.0.8 to 1.0.10 and I have a same problem: no section or category images are shown.
I can seen them defined in properties via administration interface but they are not shown. I check html source of generated html and they are not generated at all (I thought that there was a problem with path to the images).

These images are shown in media manager. I couldn't find any clue that joomla has a problem accesing these images.

Any help is welcomed!

Best regards,

Mario.

Hey Mario
This is exactly what I have done.
I viewed the source code of that section page and there was not any reference to the section image!!!!
It's like the code of the page (section) is different and the section image is not called and thus not shown!

Right now I'm uploading my backup and when it is up and running (1.0.9) I will also view and save the source file of that section and will try to compare the two files and see what's missing from the 1.0.10 version....

I hope someone helps us soon.

Hi!

You do that. Please, let me know if you find some workaround for that problem.

Best regards,

Ok, so I compared the 2 versions of the source of the specific section page:

and so far I have spotted this difference:

1.0.9 version of the page (only the part where the difference is obvious) :

Code:

<div class="componentheading">
         Articles and Archives         </div>
               <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" class="contentpane">
      <tr>
         <td width="60%" valign="top" class="contentdescription" colspan="2">
                     <img src="http://www.lostechoes.net/images/stories/articlessectionimage.gif" align="right" hspace="6" alt="articlessectionimage.gif" />
            Articles by members of Lost Echoes. Archival Database.
         </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
         <td>
                     
         </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
         <td colspan="2">
               <ul>
                  <li>
                                 <a href="http://www.lostechoes.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=7&id=17&Itemid=30" class="category">

                     Articles and Archives</a>
                                        <i>( 13 items )</i>
                                          <br />
                     
The Lost Echoes archival database on music and non-music related sources of interest.<br /><br />




and here is the 1.0.10 version of the same page (the correspeonding part where you can see the difference):

Code:
<div class="componentheading">
         Articles and Archives         </div>
               <table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" align="center" class="contentpane">
            <tr>
         <td width="100%">
                     
         </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>

         <td colspan="2">
               <ul>
                  <li>
                                 <a href="http://www.lostechoes.net/content/category/7/17/30/" class="category">
                     Articles and Archives</a>
                                        <i>( 12 items )</i>
                                          <br />
                     

The Lost Echoes archival database on music and non-music related sources of interest.<br /><br />



So the conclusion:

more specisely here are the two parts that are different between the two versions of the same page:


1.0.9
:


articlessectionimage.gif
Articles by members of Lost Echoes. Archival Database.





1.0.10 version :

I'm curious is this a bug or a feature. :)

I wonder should this be reported as a bug or maybe I overlooked something.
Bottom line is: I still don't have those images.  >:(

Hi!

Maybe that won't be necessary. :)

I managed to solve this issue. I edited menu item 'news' and there was:
Menu Image = do not use

When I set up image again, all menu images (including images for subcategories) reapeared.

So I can say I solved this problem in my case. I can't explain what changed during upgrade. Database was not updated in upgrade process.

Anyway, please try this method on your site and send a feedback if this helped.

Best regards,

Mario.

Hey there
I'm glad you solved it.

However this is strange.
In 109 I have it by default Menu Image = do not use because the settings for the images are adminstrated via each section options and not via the menu items....
.
And the section images show without a problem.

Also, in my case, at the 1010 version all the menu items had Menu Image = do not use but only 2 section images would not show..

so I do not know if your solution will work on me.
Let's hope it will

Thanx man, it worked for me too ! :)

So it seems that something has changed at this specific Joomla function.
On 109 you only had to choose a section / category image via the corresponding section settings.
Now with 1010 you must have it selected also at the corresponding menu item!

I had quite similar problems:
after the upgrade from Joomla 1.0.7 to 1.0.10 no linked section content at all was shown.

I found out that after just saving the "Menu Items" (in the "Menu Manager") the section contents were correctly displayed  in Joomla 1.0.10.

So I compared the "jos_menu"-tables in the database.

The difference is in the 'params'-field of the "jos_menu"-table, new entries there after saving with 1.0.10:

Code:
description_sec=1
description_sec_image=1

description_cat=1
description_cat_image=1

Actually everything is available after upgrade if your database was backed up properly and restored properly.

1) Check for all installed components. The basic components get installed, but you may have to re-install the 3P components/modules etc. Get the latest versions of these from their respective websites.
2) If you had created categories and directories, those need to be restored properly. Create same folders and copy any images etc, you earlier had, along with your news / articles / static contets etc. Get the images from your backup and use the same directory structure but.


Hope this will solve many queries, as I have tried this on my local server successfully.

Hi!

Correct me if I'm wrong but update from 1.0.8 or 1.0.9 to 1.0.10 doesn't change database at all.

Best regards,

Mario.

Go to the Menu Manager, edit each menu section and resave.  Then clean all caches.
