Thumbnail Issues

[mattster2002]

Ok. On some installs of CmsMS I am getting some awkward errors in Image Manager, It seems that image thumbnails do not create, instead they appear in image manage as alt text in firefox, or as a broken image in internet explorer.

I have compared almost every setting in CMS from an install which has ThumbNails working to an install which doesnt and everything is identical, I cant work out whats going on here can anyone suggest anything? I have a client that needs his site up by tommorrow and for the past few weeks this issue has had me tearing my hair out!

Thanks

Is GD installed on the server?

have you looked at

and

firstly, thank you for the support!

I have no idea how, but it seems to have fixed itself?! on the version that was never working! I wish I knew how this fixed itself!

Well someone else on same host as you are might have told administrators that they lack GD and administrators has installed it.

I have the exact same problem. What version cmsms are you using ?
Cause it drives me nuts also.

I can't remember having changed anything.

Wait a minute ! I have been trying some things.
I had an image of 1600x1200 no thumbnail was created. I uploaded the same picture in 640x480 and now image manager DOES create a thumbnail !

Is there a filesize limit ?

There is an upload file size set in config.php?

But what does it do ?

Fair enough when I can't use filemanager to upload.
But what if I upload the file by ftp.

Is this variable ($config['max_upload_size'] = 2000000) used for generating thumbnails

I am running into this same problem again.

Nobody seems to know ?
What is the maximum image size for thumbnail creation ?
Thumbnails of small image ARE created thumbnails of big images are NOT created ?
