Discussion & Troubleshooting / Change thumbnail size manually without using auto resize

« on: February 29, 2008, 08:19:54 AM »

i run a 4images based video site where the thumbnails need to be created manually. over the years we went through different thumbnail sizes and what i am now looking for is a way to resize those thumbnails without changing anything to its real size. i just want the thumbnails to be shown bigger or smaller in the browser, to let's say, a fixed size of 300x225 for all of them. i need this especially in "new images/videos" and "last 6 images/videos" (on the home.html). i tried to change something in functions by editing width and length but without success.

btw : i do not want to use the auto-thumbnailer and we don't have anything installed such as GD.

thanks for your help

Discussion & Troubleshooting / Downloading large video files

« on: April 14, 2007, 01:24:16 PM »

Hello all,

i am building a huge video download page using 4images. The size of those videos ranges from a few KB to 1GB.
Downloading the smaller videos is not a problem but as soon as i want to download a 600MB file for example it takes a long wating time until the save as window appears. also my serverload goes vers high (100%cpu) and blocks the all the site for that time (3Mhz pentium, 1GB ram). sometimes that window appears at the end, sometimes i receive a 500 error

i have now spent a few hours in this forum searching for a solution. it seems that this is a know problem with 4images but the fixes i found don't work my the new 1.7.4.
some people told me by modifying the download.php they can download now 10gb files without problems.

i already changed the php.ini file to allow big scripts and i am now looking for a fix to :
-allow download of any file size
-reduce serverload after download button is clicked.

any help would be greatly appreciated.
