Create thumbnail automatically?
« on: February 09, 2003, 11:20:48 AM »
Is it possible that a thumbnail is created automatically (using ImageMagick, NetPBM or GD) as soon as a user uploads a picture via the provided upload page?

I was looking for this feature in 4images 1.7, but didn't find it so far (despite the fact that I believe that it's very useful, obvious and easily implementable).

yes, just set 4images settings in admin control panel.

P.S. auto thumbnail will not work when u logged in as admin and upload picture from upload page.

I found the setting! Thanks.
But meanwhile I found out that my hoster blocks the exec() and system() calls from php scripts. Hence, I can forget about auto-thumbnail creation  :(  :(  :(

My provider sent me the solution.

system() is disabled in the Apache-module copy of PHP. It is not disabled
in the CGI copy of PHP. Any script that needs to run external processes
has to be run as a CGI. It's simple to do. Just create an .htaccess file
in your domain's document root with this line it it:

AddType php-cgi .php

This worked. I can use NetPBM now properly!

exec() & system() disabled

I'm hoping someone has a solution for me.  My hoster has blocked both exec() and system() so my images are not resizing to create the appropriate sizes.  I have had multiple conversations with them and they will not change this nor will they provide any suggestions other than to move to another hoster that can help me.  I tried the following suggestion in my document root's .htaccess file and got nothing but error messages.

Does anyone know of anyway to get around this problem?  I can't find another Image Gallery that works like 4Images and really need this to work somehow.  Is there a way to code it into the html templates?

I'd appreciate anyones help.

Thanks,
Vicky

Did my .htaccess in the root directory not provide any change at all?
