My Thumbnails are not working!
« on: May 28, 2008, 08:00:48 AM »
Hello all,

I have selected the Auto Thumbnails option, but it does not seem to be working!

Instead of a thumbnail of the photo, it displays the eye icon.  (for an example, click on the URL at the bottom)

Why is 4Image not displaying a thumbnail of the image?


I really don't want to resize several thousand photos, then submit them as a thumbnail.

Can anyone help me????

Thank you, in advance.

Hello KurtW


FIRST STEP:   (In the Control Panel)
In the General > Settings section under > Upload settings; in Auto-create thumbnail “YES” is selected.

SECOND STEP:  (In the Control Panel)
I cannot find the “Generate settings” function!  Would you please be more accurate as to its location?    :oops:


Also where do I locate, “GD Bibliothek?”    :?

Hello;
an image is sometimes better than a thousand words:



Generally, GD bibliotech comes bundled with PHP.

Look at your phpinfo to check it:

Hello manurom,


Steps 1 & 2 that you have circled in red are the same in my control panel also.  As you can see below.

Conversion tool for thumbnails
ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org)                                     GD Bibliothek
GD (http://www.boutell.com/gd)
NetPBM (http://netpbm.sourceforge.net)
 



The only difference between your php configuration and mine (below) is in;
1.   GD Version
2.   FreeType Linkage
3.   There is no “Free Type Version” on my configuration.


Now how all of this affects my thumbnail function from possibly not working, I have no idea.

                        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 would love to know your thoughts about this!!!


Again,  Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

hi,

if you are uploading your pictures over Admin CP, thumbnails will be not automaticly generated.
use "Auto-Thumbnailer" in Admin CP to generate thumbnails which you uploaded over Admin CP..


Quote
FIRST STEP:   (In the Control Panel)
In the General > Settings section under > Upload settings; in Auto-create thumbnail “YES” is selected.
is only for members upload over enduser screens (or for admin if he don't upload his pics over Admin CP)..

hope that was clear
cheers
Nicky

Thanks for the help, Nicky. 

I think that I am finally getting close to the answer of this no thumbnail problem.

In CP (Image Section) I clicked Auto-Thumbnailer > Check thumbnails > Create thumbnails >

This resulted in the error below.
 
 Error creating thumbnail!

Create thumbnail for: 12 METER 1 (12meter.jpeg) ....   
Warning: imagejpeg() [function.imagejpeg]: Unable to open './../data/thumbnails/32/12meter.jpeg' for writing in /home/setiu0/public_html/4images/includes/image_utils.php on line 93

I thought the problem might lie with the permissions, so I changed the permission of the /4images/includes folder to 777 also the /4images/data/ folder already has a permission of 777.


Does anyone have any idea as to what is causing this error?


I would like to Thank anyone who can help me with this in advance.

Hello;
are you sure that the data folder and all its sub-folders have CHMOD777 (eg. data/thumbnails/32/)?

WHAT IS THE NEW FOLDER NAME
« Reply #12 on: June 15, 2008, 01:56:05 AM »
HELLO KurtW

You forgot to give me the name of the New Folder to create, AND where to create it.    :)

Also, why should I delete these 2 folders anyway?  data/media/32   &   data/thumbnails/32

Hello;
it seems you don't have to delete data/media/32/ folder, as you are able to write in it.
Your image 12meter.jpeg is present here:


The strange thing is that you cannot write in the data/thumbnails/32/ folder.

So delete this folder.
Then, recreate it by FTP, giving CHMOD777.

If you use CPanel, or Plesk, prefer to do this through the CPanel or Plesk interface, using the files manager. I've seen some problems like yours in virtual servers, where th "apache client" and the "ftp client" had not the same privileges. 4images script was able to create media and thumbnails folders, but not to give the needed CHMOD.
Deleting the folders through CPanel or Plesk, and then recreating then (boring, I know), solved the problem.
The host told us that they couln't change privilèges on virtual servers...

We tried this: http://www.4homepages.de/forum/index.php?topic=3958.0, with no success.


:oops:  8O :oops: 8O :oops: 8O My bad!
I just realized that your pictures had the .jpeg extension in their names.

Please log on your Admin Control Panel.
Go to "Settings". Then, on the right section, go to "Upload settings". Look at what is diplayed in "Valid file extensions".
It should be, by default:
Quote
jpg,gif,png,aif,au,avi,mid,mov,mp3,mpg,swf,wav,ra,rm,zip,pdf
so, .jpeg files are not able to be recognized by the script :!:. Extension is missing.

Change it to:
Quote
jpg,jpeg,gif,png,aif,au,avi,mid,mov,mp3,mpg,swf,wav,ra,rm,zip,pdf

Then, go to your_gallery_site/templates/your_template/media/ folder, and create a new file called "jpeg.html", with this code:
Code: [Select]
<!-- Template file for JPEG Files -->
<img src="{media_src}" border="1" alt="{image_name}"{width_height} /><br />
and save.

Please let us know.

Thumbnail Problem Solved
« Reply #14 on: June 15, 2008, 11:32:51 PM »
Thank You, manurom

The Thumbnail Problem has been solved thanks to you, and the others who have helped!

You analysis of the situation was right on the money.

However I do have one additional note; I noticed that the /4images/data/thumbnails/ folder and the /4images/data/media/32/ folder seem to work together.  Although the /4images/data/thumbnails/ folder  seem to lack folders that the /4images/data/media/32/ folder had.  So I created the additional folders that the /4images/data/thumbnails/  folder lacked.  (and of course added the permission 777 to all newly created folders, I did this purely out of caution)

I made all of these changes through my cPanel’s, File Manager.

All is well now, and I can load up the rest of my files.     :D
