Hi, One possible reason could be that that your PHP server installation does not have the GD image functions enabled. -> If you manage your server, (gnu/linux) install the package "php5-gd" or "php-gd2", or (on windows) enable the "extension=php_gd2.dll" in the file php.ini (remove the ; before it). Then restart the server. Another possible problem could be that your files are too large; some servers may be unable to resize pictures larger than 2 MPx (1600x1200). Does it happen with all files or only with large ones? -> Resize down the pictures before you upload them, to at most 1000px wide; this is more than enough for most of your visitors' screens, -or- -> If you manage your server, you can increase the allowed memory in the file php.ini : change the line "memory_limit = 32M ;" Then restart the server. Another problem could be with file permissions or filenames with disallowed characters, however if you upload your file via PmWiki (?action=upload), the filename and permissions should be fine. Is there an address where I could take a look at it and test it? > also i would like to use the Mini: cookbook site wide - is there an > automatic script to insert in say, Main.GroupHeader to change images to > thumbnails - or would i need to do these manually? Mini creates the thumbnails automatically. If you have enabled it in config.php, the Mini: markup will work in all pages. If you have per-page attachments (upload directories) instead of per-group,[1] you can set in Main.GroupHeader or Main.GroupFooter such a line: Mini:* This will produce a list of thumbnails to all pictures in every page of the Main/ group. Thanks, Petko [1] for per-page uploads, see http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/UploadsAdmin . _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
