Thumbnails in album are not resizing

Post by torstenk »

Sorry Calguy i have edited the post now, hope it is ok.

I am running CMSMS v. 1.52. I have installed Album 0.9.3. The template for album is lightbox. My PHP version is  5.2.2.
I have done a forum search but could not find the solution to my problem.
My problem is that when i am uploading a picture that has a large resolution. I cannot get album/lightbox to resize the image.
Is there a code that i haven't found or, do i need to change anything so the thumbnail of the picture is not too big.

I have pasted this code to my site
{cms_module module='album'}

I have also made a screenshot of the problem

As you can see the picture to the left i being resized but not the one to the right. We aren't even seeing half of it because it is so big.

Search better and look in bug tracker of Album module because I remember that I read something of a bug for big image (2MB maybe but I am not sure)

I have found out what the problem is, but i don't have a solution. The problem is that thumbnails are not being created when i upload images. I think it is because the images are too big to be resized. Because if i upload a picture with a smaller resolution, it works fine.

I couldn't find anything in the bugtracker regarding my problem

Yes a size limit does exist for images, once they get to a certain size the mechanism for making thumbs won't work, images on web pages should never be the raw size that come from cameras/scanners as nowadays they are way to large for viewing on most monitors and are large so they hold enuf information so they can be printed in a large format...

Try making them a decent web safe size before uploading...

You could try increasing your allocated php memory. That has worked for me for larger images in the past.
