Geeklog Forums

Blaine is the man... I use 3 of his plugins and wonder why arent they standard... I needed a picture gallery so I really looked forward to what ever Blaine had to say about it... Since a true plugin wasn't available I decided to try Geekage or is it Geekary, not sure... Its OK but I had some troubles with it I just couldn't dodge... Yeah I read the manual, I did the little steps but still had problems... Wrote the creator about a week ago and I got no word yet... Anyway I figured if I cant get a true plugin I'll follow Blaines work, because I bet that even though it might not be a true plugin for sure Blaine knows what hes talking about... I downloaded 4images and followed Blaines instructions to the letter and am amazed it works great so far... Just one problem which isn't Blaines responsibility is how in the world do I go about getting ImageMagick to work on Windows??? I really want to get auto thumbnails and auto resizing working but boy am I a fish out of water... Can someone please spare the heart to help me out on this one? I tried and failed too many times to continue... I suare I never felt so beat before... Any body have any suggestion? Ideas? Anything? Thanks

Just download the windows binaries and run the installer.

I did, from binaries, to betas, to the sources... Maybe I did screw something up but dont know... I guess I need a long nights rest as I challenged this the way I did the iframes problem... I even jumped to GD and NetPBM I think it is... I wish Geeklog had a true Gallery plugin like Geekage... Its good but images are broken, etc... 4images seems to work great but I know I am missing something... I hope someone knows the trick... I heard within 4images to point to the directory... I looked for the answer and heard someone mention to make an absolute link to covert.exe... I am bugging out but its cool, this is my problem... Thanks for any help on this

Victor, Having choice is a good thing and I worked with Matthew to integrate 4images. Been testing it out on my site for a while and although its missing some key features that gallery had. its not bad and does integrate better. You probally want to use the PHP 4.3 built-in support for the GD graphics library. It is also an option in the 4images setup. You will get crappy thumbnails and resizing until you change the constant for CONVERT_IS_GD2 to a 1 from 0. This is set in the 4images/includes/constants.php file. I like the fact I can just copy images into a 4images category, then have 4images scan for new images and add them automatically to the database. Then I can generate new thumbnails and resize all new images. If you set the option to generate thumbnails automatically - it will do so but only if you user the user upload image method. Blaine

From feeling really cold on this I feel a little better knowing php 4.3.1 has native support for GD... OK, I am trying to tackle it again but I am being faced with this error when trying to access the Auto-Thumbnailer or Auto-Image-Resizer in the Admin control panel... -------- GD library error. Check module settings. -------- Under settings in the 4image admin control panel I have tried setting a system path (c:etc) to the php, cli, dlls, extensions, mibs, openssl, etc... Nothing Works... I looked for the official site behind GD and found nothing really good so I went to php.net and found this script... ------- <?php var_dump(gd_info()); /* Typical Output ============== array(9) { ["GD Version"]=> string(24) "bundled (2.0 compatible)" ["FreeType Support"]=> bool(false) ["T1Lib Support"]=> bool(false) ["GIF Read Support"]=> bool(true) ["GIF Create Support"]=> bool(false) ["JPG Support"]=> bool(false) ["PNG Support"]=> bool(true) ["WBMP Support"]=> bool(true) ["XBM Support"]=> bool(false) } */ ?> ------- But it keeps pulling back a fatal error... ------- Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gd_info() in C:Serverwwwgd.php on line 2 ------- I guess though I might have native support I might have to activate it... I looked into the php.ini file and found the following... ------- ;extension=php_gd.dll ;extension=php_gd2.dll ------- When I removed the ";" I got nothing but "Function Registration Failed - duplicate name..." errors... Can someone help me out on this one please... Thank you ---Victor B. Gonzalez
