Geeklog Forums

Hi,

When posting images, I've figured out how to increase the max size etc. but how do i get geeklog to generate small thumbnails which are 'clickable' to the larger, original images? - this is featured onto the geeklog demo site - how do i do it

Cheers my dears!

From config.php:
bye, Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I already noticed that setting.

$_CONF['keep_unscaled_image'] = 1; // 1 = keep original images

// Story image settings
$_CONF['max_image_width'] = 1600; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_image_height'] = 1200; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_image_size'] = 10048576; // 1048576 = 1MB

// User photo settings
$_CONF['max_photo_width'] = 128; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_photo_height'] = 128; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_photo_size'] = 65536; // 65536 = 64KB

With the config as above, it will just post the fullsize image into the story, rather than linking it. If i reduce the max_image_height/width/size, say to 160x160 it will not allow me to upload anything larger.

Please advise,

Thanks,

Bob

You have to configure Geeklog to actually use one of the supported packages to scale the images:
Also see the settings below that one.

Hi, Thanks for your response.

Ok, so now i just get an error - cannot be resized.
Checking the error log shows:

Tue Apr 26 15:22:16 2005 - Debug: Attempting to resize with this command (netpbm): /home/rob/netpbm/jpegtopnm '/home/rob/public_html/images/articles/3.jpg' | /home/rob/netpbm/pnmscale -xsize=92 -ysize=120 | /home/drob/netpbm/pnmtojpeg > /home/rob/public_html/images/articles/tmp.jpg
Tue Apr 26 15:22:16 2005 - Error: Image, 3.jpg had trouble being resized:


Netpbm is in that location (was working fine with 'Gallery' previously) but I updated it just to be on the safe side.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

B

Do you have "pnmtojpeg" in your NetPBM directory?

For some background, see this thread.

bye, Dirk

Dont know if this answers the question but its related:

If your thumbnail size was set to something else earlier and you just changed it, Geeklog does not change posts retroactively. Only new posts after you change the setting will be affected. So its not impossible to end up with different behavior for articles posted at different times.

See this thread and feature request.

Cheers,

This did not work for me.

// Story image settings
$_CONF['max_image_width'] = 1600; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_image_height'] = 1200; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_image_size'] = 10048576; // 1048576 = 1MB

And this did work for me (added single quotes)

// Story image settings
$_CONF['max_image_width'] = '1600'; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_image_height'] = '1200'; // In pixels
$_CONF['max_image_size'] = 10048576; // 1048576 = 1MB
