Hi,I am trying to solve an issue with the Item Image and I am looking in the phpMyAdmin database to see the reference to the image, but I can't find it in the table jos_k2_items.  Where is it hiding?  The image caption and credits are in that table.Thanks.

I believe that the image info is not stored in the DB.
The images used as the intro image for an item can be found in media/k2/items/src

Thanks, Simon. You're always so quick to reply.

I'm still trying to work on that image issue.

I try my best ;)

Simon, I have a quick question. I moved a small K2 site yesterday from one server to another, and it no longer recognized any of the images as existing. I just reloaded them, since it was a quick solution.

I have a MUCH larger site with thousands of images, which are not convenient to reload all... any ideas on how I can make sure that it actually finds the item images in the cache, since they are not recorded in the database?

Thanks, Heather

I have the same problem I just move a big portal with more than 5000 images and they are not stored in the database.

Some help please

Try Akeeba Pro to move the site

Thank you for your reply,

Akeeba is a great software. Because of the size of the site I had to move it partialy. I found that I had some bad image files that are blocking transfers. Now I'm  tranfering images month by month and its working.

the images are stored in an... interesting way to say the least. it uses md5 encoding and is linked to the item by using the item ID. You can use the md5() function and use 'Image' as a constant and the itemid as the variable. I have a favorites module i wrote myself which uses this code to get the image for the corresponding item:
pastebin.com/gYjURjrX

this is a direct copy paste of the source of my module. It's very simple, but maybe it helps you!

Thanks Nick, this helped me :)

P.S: maybe its better to load the image only after a if_file_exist() ^^Nick Tsutsunava said:
