Can you verify that they're in the directory? Also, by "upgraded directly," do you mean that you used the migration module, or a physical update of files?

I believe they would be located in /modules/boonex/photos/data/files/.

Well there are a lot of files in there but non of the names are matching with the names of the older group files. So shall I simply copy those old files and thumbnails in this folder?

I don't really know how the migration process works, so I don't know how exactly things are transferred. Give that a try, empty your cache directories, and see if it works.

Photo migration for groups does not work.

There are also many other issues with migration tool...

* Links are not converted to Sites
* Photo and video view counts are not transferred
* Tags are not transferred correctly
* Quotes not transferred
* FAQ / About / Privacy pages not transferred
* Additional user created pages not transferred
* Subscribers not transferred
* Old mass mailer emails not transferred

Plus some other stuff...

Additionally the migration changes the site URL's which means that you will lose any SEO rankings you may have gained. Boonex have some mod rewrite rules to fix some of the URLs with a permanent redirect, but not all as some are unfixable by this method.

umeshtmi1 - I would ignore magnussofts advice, by his own admission he does not know what he is talking about.

Sorry, I do not have a ready solution.

On my site I manually uploaded the images as there were not that many.

Just upload the photos as normal using the 'upload photo' feature for the group. You will obviously need to have the relevant access to do this (group fan / admin - depending on group settings).

Sorry that I do not have an easier solution for this.
