Mods & Plugins (Releases & Support) / Works fine in LINUX Part II

« on: March 12, 2003, 05:01:43 PM »

Also, make sure the GD lib is compiled into PHP (ask your provider).  Then, AND THIS IS VERY VERY IMPORTANT, you need to have PC TTF fonts.  If you are a Mac user and simply copied true type fronts from your Mac (because they do end in ttf also) then NOTHING will happen.  You won't see squat.  I'm a Mac OSX user, so I know.

So, I got this working as a Mac user on a Linux box within a few hours.  I suspect that if no one else can, it's because JUST ONE of these factors not set properly will render a blank image.

So to recap:

1- apache must be owner of data directory (and chmod'd to 777 or 755)
2- safe mode OFF
3- GD lib MUST be installed, specifically, GD v2.0.1 with freetype linkage
4- PC TTF fonts.  NOTHING ELSE

Again, if just one of these things is not set up properly, the images will never get annotated.

Seems many people are having problems, but it worked right out of the box for me.  Just make sure that apache is the owner and group for the data directory so php can write files there - if you don't do this, you're screwed and no amount of hacking will get you anywhere.  Also make sure safe mode is off.

Seeing all the "I don't have root access" to the box *tells* me no of you guys have the ownership of the data directory set to apache.  So you're completely screwed for life until you call your provider and ask that they change it.

Mods & Plugins (Releases & Support) / Skips admin, won't scale defined thumbnail

« on: March 01, 2003, 10:30:36 PM »

V@no, I installed this hack minutes after you posted it and it worked right out of the box.  However, I was only testing it in one particular way.

Here's the problem:

1) If you use the Control Panel to upload, the images and thumbnails don't get scaled.  This could almost be a feature, but I'd rather it be an option.

2) If a member decides to upload a specific image as the thumbnail (rather than let the thumbnail get auto-generated) the images does NOT get scaled.  So I usually have a thumbnail the same size as the large image.

So far that's it.  Number 2 is the bigger headache since users have no choice but to define a thumbnail for movies and documents.  It would  be great if you can provide a hack for that.  Thanks man.  Great work BTW!

Had to write the following two lines by hand:

show_setting_row("auto_image", "radio");
show_setting_row("auto_image_quality");

one of them had/has hidden chars that where affecting the script.

Thanks!

Mods & Plugins (Releases & Support) / Almost works

/home/virtual/site56/fst/var/www/html/platinum/gallery/admin/settings.php on line 311

Line 311 is: show_setting_row("auto_image_quality");

But it looks fine, it must be cascading from somewhere else.
