Image Gallery v1.0

Instructions in the ZIP file (gallery.txt). Should explain most details of installation. I haven't done an INSTALL from scratch, so you get to beta test that part of the program.

The gallery itself seems quite stable. I added some load limiting/checking options before releasing as well. Let me know how your installs go, features you'd like to see, etc.

If you want to see an example:

/usr/X11R6/bin/convert

Is my path....

It is right in the options.. still looking at broken thumbd.

HELP!

Telnet in and go to a directory where you have some images.

Then type this:

convert -geometry 120x120 filename.jpg new_filename.jpg

this will create a thumb 120x120 of filename.jpg

You say you have ImageMagick but no thumbs to prove it. Try to do this telnet operation and see if it works.

Please check to see if you're running in safe mode.

An easy way to do this is to create a file called phpinfo.php. It should contain these 3 lines:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Put it in your forums directory and point your web browser at it. If you search for 'safe_mode', you should find 2 lines. safe_mode and safe_mode_exec_dir. If safe_mode is on, then safe_mode_exec_dir HAS to contain your a copy of convert. If you don't have shell access/admin access to your server, I doubt you will be able to make this change.

safe_mode
Off Off

Safe mode off/off here too and images still not making it into the table.

Is the filedata field in the thumb table blank? Trying to figure out if the error is in making the thumbs or just displaying them.

You can also try remarking out this line in functions.php:

unlink($thumbname);

Just put a // at the start of the line.

Then make a dumby post, with a BMP/JPG/GIF attachment. If ImageMagick part is working, it'll create a file:
/tmppath/th_[randomstuff].

/tmppath is most likely /tmp, but may vary.

My problem is with it being added to the DB. Looking at it thru phpmyadmin there are no records there.

I guess I will try the thing you mentioned above, although im not sure what difference that will make

OK just tried that. The th_ files are showing up each time i post an image. They are all 0kb though

Another note. Running the gallerymakethumbs.php file also puts a temp file in the tmp directory for each attachment i have (all 0KB) but still nothing in the DB

Ok, what version of ImageMagick do you have installed? If it's RedHat, should be able to just: rpm -q ImageMagick at the command prompt.

If it's older then 5.3.3-2, let's try simplifying your convert statment. In functions.php, find this line:

PHP Code:

system("$galleryconvert -geometry '160x120>' $path -flatten -quality '75' JPEG:$thumbname"); 


and change it to

PHP Code:

system("$galleryconvert -geometry '160x120>' $path -quality '75' JPEG:$thumbname"); 


The -flatten parameter "flattens" out animated GIFs. Otherwise, convert tries to make a JPG for each frame of the GIF. 10 frames = 10 files, makes a real mess in the /tmp directory.
