I'll take into consideration a non-GD version, though it will be less convienant in operation than the current version. I recommend just trying to get GD installed, by asking your host, since it is very useful.

This is available via the Admin Cp Options on the Gallery hack. :p

As for those other suggestions you had Mist, I'll also consider them in the next version.

Thanks for all the comments everyone ;)

GD is good but it's always hard to persuade your host to install it (in my experience)

I look forward to the future release :p

Great hack, I'll be installing this.

Thanks for sharing :)

easy way to get them to install GD , tell them your concerned about the buffer overflow exploit .. that made me upgrader straight away ;)

Either that or say you'll plot a massive boycott against them if they don't install GD. That should spark their interest. ;)

Just kidding of course. My host, Vervehosting.com, has always been very gracious to my requests when I ask them to install some kind of PHP Library.. so I would try just asking first. I suppose it could depend how much money you are paying per month for your host, but I would suspect if it is $15 or greater they should comply with your request, if they want to get good feedback from their clients.


BTW: If any members have this installed and wouldn't mind if I add it to the first post under a section for demo's, please post your link in this thread, or PM me, so I can do so.

I read the instructions, and I have recent version of PHP...

How do i check if this is installed on my server has this installed?

I use Cpanel on my admin host. Would I look in my PERL Scripts Installed, which I think tells me all options and extras installed on the server.

Create a PHP file that contains only the following:
Upload it to your server, than run it through the browser. There should be a section for the GD Library where you can check on the stuff. Make sure things like JPG and PNG are enabled.

sorry if i sound like a dumbass, but will this work with 2.2.9?

Velocd asked me to install it and test it out on my test forum, which runs 2.2.9, and it ran perfectly fine.

This hack should work from any 2.2.x and greater versions.

Just remember for this version you must have the GD Library 2.0 installed, I'm only repeating this again since I've recieved some PM's from some people still stating they recieve those GD errors.
