Hi,
I'm trying to setup imagevue on my new hosting but i've got some problems..
After i uploaded some images, i tryied to generate Thumb from Admin panel, but i got All Errors..any of thumbs wasn't generated!
So i've read many topics talking about "PHP MEMORY LIMIT", and i've checked it trough phpinfo.php that it's set to 8MB and 8MB
I changed CHMOD ofcourse to 777 to content, groupfolder, and image folder but nothing changed..
So i tryied to upload a smaller image, and thumbnails creation worked!
It worked until the image size broke the barrier of 600Kb, then i got an error!
Since the hosting isn't so cheap, what should i change on it in order to get it working also for bigger image?
Thanks!

Hmm I won't really help but why dont you just simply change the huge size of your pictures..?
600k is quite a huge weight for web images, and overall with imagevue flash viewer , your visitors may be loosdnig patience waiting for all your gallery to load... :?

Just my opinion :wink:

Is that to be able to download fullsize image for print? Or just a lack of compression...?

Well..The picture uploaded in the gallery came directly from my digital camera
The main reason for that i upload Huge pictures, is that i want my friend to download a full quality picture!
So..i was thinking another question..
When i click on thumbnails, it opens the image but with bigger resolution, then if you right click on the image you can chose to download the image..
Is there a way to use 3 files, for the same image? I mean..1 for the Thumb which is approx 5Kb, 1 for the Bigger Preview around 200Kb (Jpeg Compressed by me) and 1 for the original size!


Thanks 4 the reply...

I am sure you have already read this post: viewtopic.php?t=2380 ?

Just because your server supports 8MB, doesn't mean it supports 8MB image file size. It means it supports 8MB of memory in the task of resizing the image, which is really not a lot. I'm not 100% sure how large images you can expect to have resized from 8mb of memory, I think [pain] had an equation for this, but its more likely in the realms of 1200px width/height.

As in the link given above, you could create thumbnails from desktop or even upload large images after thumbnails have beenc reated(from smaller web sides images).

There is also a setting to allow an additional size image, for example a large image to download or view in a new window. Read this topic: viewtopic.php?t=136
