"RED X" No thumbs or Pictures on display

Dear Friends

First of all, I love the ZP setup, design, the look of it and everything.
I have been looking for this for a REALLY loooong time, so thanks (if you get me startet here!!)

I can upload pictures, the info. tags in the photo is there, it goes into the right file on the server etc. etc.
The ONLY thing is, that the actual picture dosnt show!
I can upload .gif, but not jpg.
I can upload almost any .jpg and it will show, as long as its not a picture from my own canon camera or some of my friends camera.

I use VISTA.

My ISP is www.one.com (they use safe mode!)
My friend has the same ISP but not at all any errors.

My site is located at http://www.svinetsdisciple.com

My friend got one of my pictures, normal size .jpg whit large .JPG in the end (dont now why its large), and the same problem on his server, so is it the pictures, but why..??

Please Please help me to become a happy user :)

Merry Christmas to all of you out there :O)

    Most probably something to do with the metadata in the picture. Can you submit a ticket for this problem and attach one of the photos that do not work.
  • Cini Member
    sbillard, thank you for your help.

    Please tell me how I attach a "ticket" and where I attach a photo..do you have a link?
    As you can hear, im new at this :)

    Thanks.

    Sorry, deleted this as it was messing up the forum output.

    You probably don't need to post the album.php code anyway.

    Hi, i have the same problem, everything is going fine while uploading the images, it dosn't display any errors. But when i afterwards take a look in the photo album det picture simply isn't there, the picture name and all the picture information is there just nor the picture.
    This is only with some of my pictures.
    I can se that you (sbillard) told Cini to make a ticket, but i to cant find the appropriate place to do this :) please advice

    Thx in advance

    You have to create tickets here: http://www.zenphoto.org/trac/report/1
    You have to create a trac account and log in first, before you can do it.

    Thx for the link/help acrylian.
    but while waiting for reply i have been playing a little with my pictures, and found out that after making the original picture smaller in size it will show perfect when uploadet.
    Maybe you should try that Cini :)
    Is there a max picture size? (maybe its already written somewhere, i just haven't seen it)
  • sbillard Member
    There is not a max size per-se. However there are memory limits on PHP programs, so I imagine that you could have a picture that was too large. I would expect a cgi error, though, saying that a memory allocation limit was exceeded.

    Also, as a rule of thumb, pictures viewed on the web don't need to be much larger thatn 1000x800 pixels for most uses. Resizing large pictures does take server resources, so unless you otherwise need the pictures to be full sized, I recommend you resize them before uploading. Mine are all 800x600.
  • acrylian Administrator, Developer
    The memory limits sbillard speaks of is part of your server configuration. It depends on you webhost if you can raise the memory or not.
    I believe it can be change in the php.ini if you host allows it.

    Ciao

    Im all red in the head, I mean, that was a problem just laying right in front of me, so so so simple and yet, so not a thought..soooryyy ;O)

    Please close this topic if you will..

    I will now relax and love this zenphoto heaven until...forever (now I just need to find a program that can scale my 300 pictures down to around 800x600 pixels in 2 minuttes :) Help is welcome

    Happy Holidays, keep it up

    Okay, well i think that it's because my pictures have been to large, so i will have to resize them when uploading.
    My host want allow me to change the php.ini file.
    But thx for the help both of you

    Try Batch Image Now for resizing: http://www.acezip.net/
  • sbillard Member
    Cini:

    If you use Windows, I recomment you look into Qimage. Great photo printing program. Also one of the best at resizing images without causing artifacts. http://www.ddisoftware.com/qimage/

    If you use Mac you could try ThumbsUp: http://www.devon-technologies.com/products/freeware/index.html
    Or the tool for everything, the graphic converter: http://www.lemkesoft.com/
