The site is running in a Windows Server environment.
I have a custom content type, which has a single "image" field.
I have created a image style, called "slider" with the dimensions 800x480
Images uploaded have some issues:
The original file names are kept but all uploads stored in the same folder. Ideally these names would be timestamped or hashed to prevent duplicate collisions
The file dimensions do not seem to be applied in resizing the image, does this only apply if the uploaded image is larger? Do I add a "scale" filter if I want to enlarge the image to fit the dimensions?
Uploaded images go to:
http://www.mydomain.local/sites/default/files/park/pics/BHP_beach.jpg (this exists)
but the preview: http://www.mydomain.local/sites/default/files/styles/slider_desktop/public/park/pics/BHP_beachjpg?itok=lR2G_oG3 (this does not exist)
This latter path is not valid, rather there is no image by this name in this directory??? Why are no files being written here? I just noticed another error which is probably related to the last point I make:
Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open 'public://styles/slider_desktop/public/park/pics/BHP_beach.jpg' for writing: Invalid argument in image_gd_save() (line 270 of C:\mywebsite\modules\system\image.gd.inc).
How do I enable public:// stream wrappers???
Lots of questions I know...but all related to the same thing I think.
