Please go to the CataBlog Options Systems Tab and click the remove button at the bottom. Once everything has been successfully removed go back to the Library page and CataBlog will reinstall all the necessary folders.
If you have difficulty running the remove script please make sure that Apache/PHP/WordPress can read, write and execute files and folders in the wp-content/uploads/catablog/ folder.
You can also manually delete the wp-content/uploads/catablog/ folder using FTP and let CataBlog automatically make the folder again.
Please Note: These error messages are not a bug and are not related to the UI bug in the remove script for CataBlog 1.5.
So this message is most likely being displayed when regenerating your catalog images. It could also be displayed when you upload a new image. When are you seeing the message?
You are getting this message because CataBlog uses the original uploaded image to generate thumbnails and lightbox versions, and the original uploaded image cannot be found or read by the server.
- double check that the appropriate image file is in your originals folder
- I would also check that the server can read the file.
- try viewing the original image in your web browser directly
It is also possible that you have old catablog entries that are causing this error to be reported.
It is also possible that you imported catalog items without copying the corresponding original image file to the server.
These folders on your server are important, the catablog folder is where all uploaded images and templates are stored. Inside that folder are three folders for storing images: originals, thumbnails and fullsize.
catablog folder
/home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/
catablog original images folder
/home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/originals/
catablog thumbnail images folder
/home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/thumbnails/
catablog fullsize lightbox images folder
/home/zinniaor/public_html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/catablog/fullsize/

I was just in the Catablog Options page when I kept getting that error. I didn’t try to do anything but read the different tabs.
I’m not sure what I did in what order (because I quit working with this site and worked with its local counterpart), but when I came back later the folders had been generated.
I guess my question is “Why keep reporting that the folder is missing instead of just creating it?”
The message you are getting is a failure response from an AJAX call to render a catalog item’s images. There is one AJAX call per library item, so multiple responses are definitely possible. This happens every time you change certain thumbnail and lightbox options. It should only happen after you click save, but I imagine if you upgrade from a very old version, say before the height field existed, that it might re-render the library the first time you open the options panel.
