Hi

I try to upload a gif image with the file center but it give me the error:
"Call to undefined function: imagetypes() in .....\include\inc_lib\general.inc.php on line 493".

What's up!
Thanks a lot

I am not sur eof this error but I would not use gif's at all, pngs are better (and developed by the same guys

) .gif's are not fully supporrted and no thumbenails or resized version of the gif will be created owing to strict copyright issues (now defunkt afaik).

in short, use png for 'toon styles and jpg for phto styles

Hi,

there are two points to think about.
older browsers often don´t know png even this is
a very old graphic-format. A very easy way to upload
good looking gifs is the detour about imagemagick.

upload your files here

http://redux.imagemagick.org/MagickStud ... Studio.cgi

and safe them into your normal picture folder. To get sure about
the gif support please check the phpinfo or ask in case of heavy trouble your provider.

You´re welcome

I´ve had the same problems. My gifs looked liked minced meat.
I don´t know by what this is caused but anyway it works when you use the imagemagick-detour.
