    Hi all,

    I'm trying to get the 'phpthumbsup.auto_create' setting to function properly and i'm running out of ideas. I hope someone can help me out.
    I've installed PhpthumbsUp (and phpthumbof) and the basic snippet call works just fine.
    Now when i'm trying to auto create thumbs in a certain folder by using the auto create setting nothing happens. There are no errors in the error log either.

    Destination folder is CHMOD 777. Cache folder exist and is writable.
    What am i overlooking? Does phpthumbup stores it's generated thumbs in a different folder or something?

    Hope you can help me out. Thanks!

      Hey Jorgen,

      The auto_create setting automatically creates modified versions of your images when they are uploaded through the manager. Your auto_create setting should specify what parameters to apply to your images and which folder to watch. You should see the new versions of your images show up in your cache folder once you upload an image in the target directory, and if you call phpThumbsUp on an image in the target directory, the cached image should already be created when someone tries to download it.

      What is your auto_create setting set to? How are you uploading images?

      Thanks,

      -Scott

        That's becouse description of this setting in modx manager is not clear.
        According to https://github.com/darkstardesign/phpThumbsUp thumbs are generated in cache folder when you upload to path specified in this system setting ...

          Thanks Scott & Pawelmil!
          Sorry for my late reply. I just got my settings all mixed up. I was looking at the wrong folder...
