Let's start with basics. Have you confirmed all chmod settings are correct? Perhaps you should enable all notices in your "php.ini" temporarily to see if errors are occurring behind the scene.

Which method are you using to bring images into phpWCMS? Is it <FTP takeover> or <Upload file to root directory> button?

While doing so, does any error message flash? Typically, the thumbnail is created "on the fly" (as the takeover or upload is happening) so, if phpWCMS cannot create a thumbnail... it "briefly" reports that it cannot.

Typically, if phpWCMS is trying to use GD or ImageMagick and the server does not support the functions... an error is generated. So, if no error then GD 2.xx must be okay.

Your "conf.inc.php" is set to only show previews for images 538W x 400H, but your boy.jpg EXCEEDS those dimensions (change those settings).

Hi nika,

it is as dexxus already wrote:

$phpwcms["img_prev_width"] = 538; //max width of the large preview image

devka is ok because 280<538
boy 836>538 so it won´t appear.

The next point is that you should update to 1.2.6.
Don´t be afraid. Create a database-backup
and installt the newest version.

The third point is that you maybe wat to
use picos fck-editor with better uploading
and many more other features. You´ll
find it here:

With chmod settings everything is OK, error_reporting=E_ALL

Which method are you using to bring images into phpWCMS?

<Upload file to root directory>, there's no errors, file succesfully uploads but thumbnail doesnt appears

, i tried GD & Imagemagic but result is the same

Your "conf.inc.php" is set to only show previews for images 538W x 400H, but your boy.jpg EXCEEDS those dimensions (change those settings).

Thank you for this solution!!!

The next point is that you should update to 1.2.6.
Don´t be afraid. Create a database-backup
and installt the newest version.

But i close many small bugs in my version, write scripts for soluttion of unstandart functions which use mysql database of phpwcms 1.2.3, how i can update phpwcms to 1.2.6?

Hi nika,

$phpwcms["imagick"] = 1; //0 = GD, 1 = ImageMagick, 2 = ImageMagick 4.2.9
$phpwcms["imagick_path"] = ""; //Path to ImageMagick (default="" - none)

Please enter your path to "convert.php" in imagemagick.

For upgrading/updating/installing please read this.

http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/installation_en.phtml

The most important thing is, that you have to adapt the following files
conf.inc.php, config/phpwcms/conf.template_default.inc.php
and /phpwcms_template/inc_css/frontend.css
to your settings.

Than use picos editor. It´s much easier to upload pics
and handle other stuff.

write scripts for soluttion of unstandart functions which use mysql database of phpwcms 1.2.3

I don´t know what you mean exactly but normally
you just have to edit paths and the "updater"
"looks" for existing tables and so on and you will
get an overview.
But this can be a problem in deed
when your code isn´t compatible to the wcms-code.

Therefore you should make a database backup as it is
discribed on the docu-link above.
So, if there´s something wrong, you still have your old
working settings.

Sorry, i need to enter path to "convert.php" file in variable $phpwcms["imagick_path"]?

Hi nika,

to get some solutions first thing to do is to look in phpinfo() on your host. There you can find out which system, if there is any gd support or not and so on.

And for testing after change in config files renew the files in the file center and make them public

phpinfo is linked in the admin section for some good reasons

pardon me,

the files right name is "convert.html". You should search for
it by using your ftp

$phpwcms["imagick_path"] = "/here comes the path to convert.html"; //Path to ImageMagick (default="" - none)

What Juergen means is:

Are your settings in phpinfo like

gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version bund...
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

The gif support can be critical because the
gif-format is licensed and your provider (if u use one)
has to pay for.
But this shouldn´t be your problem.

I don't believe this is correct. I would be curious to see the "contents" of your "convert.html" file.

It is a binary executable file that perfoms graphical manipulation functions. In local (Windows) installation it is called "convert.exe" but typical web server packages have this file named as only "convert" (no .html extension).

For example:

/usr/bin/convert
/usr/local/bin/convert
/usr/X11R6/bin/convert

C:\Windows\System32\convert.exe
C:\path\to\ImageMagick\convert.exe

Sorry nika,

yes of course, DeXXus
Normally it should be
/usr/bin
or /usr/bin/convert.

i should have an eye on taking my pills steady.

Actually, your post and the others should be extremely helpful to the OP.

Together we present a broad range of great info and that's the aim!

Here is what I suggest:

try GD1 first
if GD1 is working try GD2
if this is working too be sure that ImageMagick is present on your system and your PHP is in safe_mode=Off
try to find out the path to "convert"

And here is a simple script that might help everybody to get to know if exec() is possible and if convert is available for you:

Code: Select all

<?php
exec("convert --version", $imagick_return);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($imagick_return);
echo '</pre>';
?>

Maybe this might help to find the right place of convert:

Code: Select all

<?php
exec("whereis convert", $getit0);
exec("locate convert", $getit1);
exec("which convert", $getit2);

echo '<pre>';
echo "whereis:\n";
print_r($getit0);
echo '</pre>';

echo '<pre>';
echo "locate:\n";
print_r($getit1);
echo '</pre>';

echo '<pre>';
echo "which:\n";
print_r($getit2);
echo '</pre>';

?>

On server safe mod On, but for my account administrator set Off, on my localhost (php on windows) everything works OK, i think because all folders are writable, but i check twice all required directories chmod set to 777
