Hello,
Now I can upload tifs files.
I have enabled the class-anyfile plugin and allowed the tif suffix in the plugin suffix.
The only problem I have to solve is the LDAP_login.
I think, I will start installing the ZenLdap plugin on this version of zenphoto and then we will see.
Best Regards.

Hello,
I though it was OK with this issue but I think we still have to investigate on the tiff issue, because now I can upload tiff files but the problem is that I cannot display in my gallery the tiff that I have just uploaded.
Any idea ?

Best Regards.

You cannot dispaly the tiff directyl because basically no browser can display tiffs as this is simply not a web image format. This is not a Zenphoto limitation.

If you like to see thumbs and an preview image you need to provide a sidecar image (also called "video thumb" often as it was originally with that feature): http://www.zenphoto.org/news/problems-with-albums-and-images/#thumbnails-for-videos-or-other-non-standard-image-

.

I see, I thing it is better either to convert the tiff to jpeg or find a plugin that can manage both the uploading and the conversion to jpeg like "ploader" ( for piwigo ).
Thanks a lot.

Best Regards.

If your server suppports Imagick and that is setup to support tiffs you might be able to use them directly. But otherwise if using GD there is no way to convert tiffs as they cannot be processed.

Interesting, Imagick is installed on my server.
How can I do to use it from the client browsers.

Best Regards.

If you have Imagick and it is properly configured, Zenphoto should offer a checkbox to use it on the options.

By the way, I though imagemagick was installed, after a checking I realised that it was not true.
So, I just installed imagemagick now and how can I configure it to
support tiffs ?

Best Regards.

You need the native php extension Imagick on your server, ImageMagick itself is not enough.

I understand that Imagick is not ImageMagick, it is different.
How can I check this ?
any way how to solve this problem ?

Best Regards.

Setup will tell you if Imagick is available or not. If there is also no optin to check it, it is also not there.

As said it needs to be installed natively on your server. If it isn't best ask your host if that is possible.

Hello,
I can tell you that I have php5-gd installed, in case of, because you mentioned GD previously.
Since my server is not in production, I can reinstall my server completely if you want and then how to install php with imagick native.
what do you think about it ?

Best Regards.

I don't want anything. But you apparently want a feature like Imagick and don't have it yet, it needs to be installed. If you manage your own server it is your job ;-)

Zenphoto works on fairly standard configured (Apache) servers that shared hosts provide generally. It also works great with local server environments like MAMP, WAMP. Sorry, I never setup my own server so I cannot help you with that.

Hello,
I agree with you, it is my job to manage my own server.
I would really like to be able to see tiff files from zenphoto because it has been imposed for this project( we have to many tiffs files to upload). If I cannot manage this point, I think I will give up zenphoto.
I would like to install php with imagick native in order to reach this point.
Can you advice me.
If it can help I am ready to reinitialize my server.
Please let me know.

Best Regards.

I told you two ways how to more or less use tiffs. With class-anyfile you can use them already but need to provide web formats additionally if you like thumbs and preview images. The full image can be only provided as download if needed.

But if it is a website, convert them to web formats. Those are smaller and your visitors will appreciate that as well.

As said I cannot help you with server configuration. Imagick is a native PHP extensions just like GD. So if you installed that it is probably similar. I don't know. Maybe you should get help by someone who knows how to setup servers.

Do you mean it could be already OK without having to install something else I should just configure PHP in the right way.
At this point can you help me to configure PHP correctly for imagick ?

Best Regards.

I cannot tell you if it could be okay already. It is your server, you should know what you installed, shouldn't you?

So what works on local ready made server setups like MAMP:
Find your PHP version's `php.ini` file on your server and find something like `;extension=imagick.so`. If you find this, remove the `;`.

That would enable the extension if it is actually installed (which I cannot answer). You might need to restart your server.

Here my knowledge about servers ends. If that doesn't work, you need to install that extensions.

Hello,
Thanks for your answer, it is interesting.
I am out of the office till next Tuesday, I'll check it and let you now about it.
Thanks so much.

Best Regards.

Hello,
I have edited my /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini config file.
By the way, there was not this line:

;extension=imagick.so

I had to had the following line:

extension=imagick.so
after the following:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; php.ini Options ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;


Nothing changes.
So, I need to install that extension but how can I install it ?

Best Regards.

As said numerous times before I sadly cannot help you with installing native server things. I have never done this myself and let webhosts do that as their job.

I guess you server is booked from a webhost so maybe ask them for paid support on this.
