Automatic thumbview images
« on: January 14, 2006, 02:20:28 PM »
Hello, I am a bit confused about something...

How can I set the gallery to display images not larger than 600x400 for example?
In image details page not in the page where you see many thumbs.
And when user downloads the image he downloads the full size?

- Is this the same thing with auto-thumb feature?

- Do I need one if the 3 tools for this?
Conversion tool for thumbnails
ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org)
GD (http://www.boutell.com/gd)
NetPBM (http://netpbm.sourceforge.net)

- I need it to resize the image when displaying the preview, not just scale while actually the image is full size there. I know I can scale it by editing the template but I want it to have a smaller size in preview page.

I hope this make sense.
Thank you.

Adrian.

You need to install some Mods for that!

Yes! But to install one of it you must have root access via ssh...
Try to use the GD, this is the default tool on most Server...

Do you think you can tell me exact steps or what mods to install? I can use the GD or imagemagick.
I am browsing the forum for around 1 hour and all I find is links from one topic to another, topics in German and large signiatures that are taking all space on forum and distract us from the content.
I could not find the information anywhere.

I want images be displayed in a smaller size in preview page and be available ful size in the downloaded image.

Thank you.
