media manager file_path / changing files location

hey, i'm delighted to use Ionize Cms and i've been trying to integrate it to my website... but i came about with a problem concerning images not rendering when i change the 'files' folder ....
-First i tried to change the files location by using the admin panel > advanced settings > media management  >media base folder ... everything seems ok , but then the thumbs are not showing as it's supposed to in the media manager and on the themes view... so 2nd i tried to tinker with config.ionize on the js plugin tiny browser ..and found that it's still named 'files/' .. .so i changed it to the folder name i want... but still no pictures or thumbs showing on the view ...

changing the 'files; folder name to a diffrent one is ok, and i can upload to it, but the pictures | thumbs are messed up, not showing on the tiny browser and on the view page. Anybody who can help me out ?
Thanks..looking forward to your help.

Re: media manager file_path / changing files location

Hey,

the thumbs are stored within /files/*/.thumbs*. On unix systems, they're invisible and left out by `cp` (due to the dot infront of the folder name). However, I'm not sure whether they're invisible on Windows systems as well. Have you moved those folders, too?

Re: media manager file_path / changing files location

thanks for the reply mario .. yes i have moved all the files too.... well here's my problem, after a fresh install of ionizecms,, i logged in  to admin>settings>advanced settings>media management and changed "media base folder" => files to fileupload folder .. then i transferred all the contents of the files to fileupload...
then i went back to admin>content>media manager the current folder is now changed to fileupload and the files are there. so i clicked on the picture element so the thumbnails would show... but the thumbnails are not showing , even the pictures are not showing on the views...

i think it's best explained by pictures

http://i51.tinypic.com/2144g1f.png  this is the working thumb using the default 'files' folder(fresh install)
http://i54.tinypic.com/vimxpc.jpg   changed files to newfile folder name
http://i55.tinypic.com/35d24bm.jpg a new directory has been made so i transfered all the contents of 'files' to 'newfile' and dleted the previous 'files' folder

http://i54.tinypic.com/11k9qid.jpg here's the problem,,, it clearly indicates that the folder is correct and it contains data but no thumbnails are showing  which also results to

thanks for the time looking into the problem mario.. i appreciate it .

Re: media manager file_path / changing files location

alright! thanks a lot mario..  the url of the thumbs seems to be workin right.. but the scripts are failing ... that's wat im looking into right now ..probably a url somewhere on the js code was not included in the media base change.

edit:
just want to bump this.. any idea what's causing this .. anyone -?
