Product images links to different filename path after upgrade from version 1.5 to version 1.6

[kilrathi]

Hi.. after upgrading prestashop to the latest version 1.6, i noticed that my images are all not appearing in my default prestashop theme.

 

When I checked, the image locations that the theme is looking for is as follows : >

http://arvee.com.my/prestashop/img/p/1/2/2/5/1225-thickbox_default.jpg

http://arvee.com.my/prestashop/img/p/1/2/2/5/1225-large_default.jpg

 

Where else, the files in my server shows the following names : >

http://arvee.com.my/prestashop/img/p/1/2/2/5/1225-large.jpg

 

Apparently all the files in my server, does not have the "DEFAULT" word after the image name, as what the theme is trying to link to. How do I solve this ?? Please help.

need to add these files into the preferences, images. if you have these files, simply need to regenerate the images for products and check if works.make a backup of all images first

I had the same problem as kilrathi but not only did I have the "_default.jpg", I also had another image with a weird name like "-mseKRkziqp.jpg". I could be wrong but am thinking it was due to the regenerate thumbnails that I tried a couple of times when I couldn't get the images to work.

I ended up going to my cpanel and changing all of my images to have the "_default.jpg" though there are several pics generated in each instance (small, medium, large, etc.). Luckily I only had 500 or less in my store.  I'm sure there is a better way but I needed my done and couldn't find anything else on the subject. (I found other solutions that didn't work in my case.) Hope this helps or can point you to a faster "fix".

i checked in my image preference, these files are available, but when i regenrate thumbnail, nothing happens... the filename remains the same in my server.

I have found the solution. I had to Edit the names of the images option under Preference .. from "home" to become "home_default" and do the same for all others. After that regenerate and hey presto ... my shop is up and running !!
