      I think the reason is, MODx uses GD library, but the server Twisler uses does not support it.

      Please let me know if that’s the issue.

        ryanc, that might be the case.

        Try to create a snippet named ’phpinfo’ without the quote and insert this 
        phpinfo();


        Put that snippet uncached [!phpinfo!] on one of your page. Save it, and try to browse to the page, you should see the php information on it.

        Search for the wrod ’GD’. Do they have GD library installed on your server, if not it won’t generate a thubmnail for you, and you need to install GD lib on your server.

          the Administration -> View system info section has a phpinfo() built into it.

            Cool, thanks for pointing that out Susan

              Exactly when are the thumbs generated? I also have problems with the tumbs (i notice when i read this thread smiley ) But i have a thumb of one of my images, so i guess it have worked at some time.. My paths seems to be correct as i can upload images without a problem but thumbs are not created..


              edit: apt-get install php4-gd solved my problem.. Strange though, where did the first thumbnail come from? Its not an image that comes with the install..
