CMS Made Simple Forums

I have now made 112 installations of cmsms! Around 20 using the previous version, and the rest are the latest version.

When you look in the uploads/images folder, not one of the installations shows a thumbnail image and, all that's visible is a row of red x's. The permissions are all set to 777 and uploading and inserting an image works fine. In fact if you click on one of the red x's the picture appears with no problems.

However I'd now like to use the Image Gallery plugin but whilst all the indiviual images show as you scroll through them one at a time, the index page appears with - you've guessed it - the little red x's.

I have attached a screengrab of what I see when I go to the image gallery.

What's the problem? Is it something I've done or missed?

I've noticed that if I upload images that a really large that thumbnails don't seem to be generated. Maybe you could try using a smaller image and see if that works?

Also, make sure the permissions for the folder is set right.

Thanks Elijah but my permissions are set right and my images are no taller or wider than 200px!

GD is the default library used for making those thumbnails can you create one test.php file with content
it will tell us your server configuration and might give some hint of whats happening

Hope it tells you something useful? Fingers crossed........

Yup.  GD is not compiled into php.

Take a look here for some possible information for getting netpbm or imagemagick working in place of the missing GD.

I have done the netpbm route before and it does work for me.

Do I need to install it into my public_html folder or in the root of the server?

You should probably install it in a directory that isn't open to the outside.  Maybe one directory back from public_html.  Make sure when you upload them that you set the permissions so that they are executable.  755 is probably a reasonable permissions set.
