    I have an issue with broken images (thumbnails) when browsing to place an image using FCKEditor. Locally, this works fine but not on the production server. This makes me lean toward a path issue, but the install went without a hitch and everything else seems to be running perfectly. When I select a broken thumbnail to place, it resolves correctly and appears on the page. It’s just broken in the browsing part of FCKEditor. How can I fix this?
    • Check the permissions on the folder where the images are, if the Resource browser script can’t write to the folder it can’t make the thumbnails, but it can still access the actual images. I’ve run into this when I uploaded entire folders of images with FTP and forgot to set their permissions to 777.

        Doublechecked that and it is good. I can see through ftp that the thumbnails are being created in the folder, they just appear broken in that editor’s frame.

          What version of MODx are you using? Reason I ask is that there was a patch to one of the files for the resource browser that fixes an issue with server paths. The latest version of MODx, 0.9.2.1, does indeed have the fix. If you are using the latest, I wouldn’t mind taking a look at the installation to see what the problem is. All I need is access to the manager. smiley

            I am still using the previous version. Weird thig is, it’s works fine locally. The problem arose after I uploaded to the remote server. I will look into upgrading if there are few bugs to work around.

              check the FCK path in the administrator settings. Soemtimes this isn´t automatically identified after transfer to a live server.
