sorry just had to revert back o older version and apply changes.
it does indeed run in the detail view - i'ev currently got around the problem by
removing the additional resize variables from the image URL and then i've
replacing some code in the category_items.php so it displays the small thumb
Code:
$scr{$i} = $dir{$i}.($this->params->get('lead_image_size') ? '/'.$this->params->get('lead_image_size').'_' : '/l_').$image{$i};
I changed the end with s_ instead of l_ :
Code:
$this->params->get('lead_image_size').'_' : '/s_').$image{$i};
So it displays the item/detail view small thumb.. I dont know if there are any other issues that could arrise from displaying the thumb like this. If there are please let me know...
I understand it appears to be permissions based but i'm not sure what i can do apart from setting 755 for the cache directory, and its definately creating a folder structure. I am running the site on a sub-domain and a suf-domain for dev purposes but cant see any folders to indicate its not routing properly.. I'm a bit dumbstruck to be honest. But i do have it working in some capacity so its ok...
Unless you have an epithany I'd suggest this can be classed as fixed for now - the info might prove useful to other peoples and i dont want to waste more of your time when there are site-breaking issues out there that need your help.
Thank you very much for the attention Mr Ggppdk! Much appreciated, i will post a review on Joomla Extensions about the quality of the component and support, have a good day!
Kind Regards - Ant
