Setting up autothumbnailer with GD
« on: May 30, 2007, 05:12:22 AM »
alright i have created a phpinfo.php file on my website, this is what the gd section of it says.

gd
GD Support    enabled
GD Version    bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support    enabled
FreeType Linkage    with freetype
GIF Read Support    enabled
GIF Create Support    enabled
JPG Support    enabled
PNG Support    enabled
WBMP Support    enabled
XBM Support    enabled


I am assuming this means I have GD already on my site.  How do I get it to work on 4images?

and how can i find the path of where it is?

Please and thank you!

Looks to me that you have GD.
Go into Admin Control Panel and click on "Settings". In the General section you will see a line that says "Conversion tool for thumbnails" and to the right of that there is a drop down menu. Put that at "GD Bibliothek" then save your changes.

You should not need to enter a path as the line below it asks for the path for "ImageMagick" or "NetPBM".

Hmmm I just did that, it doesn't seem to be working.

pivot-place.org

btw, I know I probably should have said this, but I am running a forum, vbulletin, too which i am pretty sure is using GD...Not sure if that effects anything.

Did it save your changes or revert back to the setting that was there before?

It saved, but still nothing's happening.

Maybe I should try imagemagick?  ( In which case I'll be asking for a step by step :D)

Well one more thing since I have only used GD, so I can not help you there with the other ones.
Did you set up for it to "Auto-create thumbnail" in the upload settings?
