do what i had written in my last post mo fix Image Magick problem... /mod//lib/resize.php, find line 537 and delete "^" character from it.

@ dusan j

Thanks for  the reply. I did what you suggested, but I still get the "?" mark instead of my photo.It is only when I click to enlarge the photo in a whole page ofor download is it that the photo is visible.

@TB - the 5 MB is the default threshold used on a single image - meaning that if any image is larger than 5 MB it is rejected after upload and removed from your server. Images that are smaller than 5 MB are resized to create 3 different views (thumbnail, album view, and image view). The original photo is also saved for viewing/download. 

@Cube - cannot reproduce your issue.

@juser - have you tried the Thumbnail Creation option on the admin page? Also check your server's error log after trying that.

Hi,

When I try to create the thumbnail I get an error: could not connect to database with given credentials. Where can I find the server log? I am using a host and I searched but did not find that file.

You rock men!

@juser - try this link: http://docs.elgg.org/wiki/Server_error_log

TP team,

Just to clarify on the compression...the original image is therefor not compressed? A 5meg image stays as a 5 meg image? If so, is their a way to look to allow up to a 5 meg image, but compression takes all images down to say 250K? How does a service like Facebook do it? So many cameras are now huge files and people just are too lazy to do compression on their own. If I missed something on this sorry, but can we go over this in detail so we understand it.

@TP Team & Bill, This should be possible... it is exactly what happens with the thumbnailer for profile icons... indeed, it makes three differant sizes I think... handy for quicker loading

@TB - no, we do not compress the original image any more than it already is. If we did, there would be some major compression artifacts on some images. Sites like Flickr handle this by having lots of disk space. We could add the ability for an admin to automatically delete the original image after upload.

@MB - please read previous comment on this

@hunter - confirmed request? what request?

@hunter - Elgg does not require confirmation of friends. This can be achieved with a plugin. Tidypics is working as it should on this.

TP Team, sorry bu this is a very interesting topic. What would you guess Facebook  does?

I am guessing they have an auto compression engine, no?

We are not looking towards something like this in the future? I thought any picture at say 250K was pretty good as long as it wasn't too large. They don't have a compressione engine that takes larger, up to 5 meg pics and squeezes everything down to 250K?

@TP team... sorry yes, I missed that.  I think TB does have a point though... I know it is possible to switch the download option on and off... perhaps if it is off (or turned off) the orginal image can be automatically deleted, whereas if download image is on the original is saved (if no big photos available when switched on then downloaders get the larger of the resized images).  Regards, Mark

how do you remove tags that are in images?

I would like to not have it add on the river everytime a comment is made on a pic.  Could someone tell me what file I can delete it from. 

Would it be possible to allow users to upload images in an existing album?

@cim - looks like the delete photo tag button is missing. We'll have a new release soon with some bug fixes.

@brandon - the commenting is handled by the Elgg core, not Tidypics

@madkris - yes, it does this already

@tidypics team, yeah i was just testing it out to see if it works fine and then i thought to myself, where is the button to remove yourself or someone from the tagged picture. good thing i point that out huh? ;] btw, great job!

@TP Team - Thanks, got it now! There was a question mark image in the album, must be from the previous upload. Anyway I couldn't see the view slideshow, add photos to album, edit album and delete album links. Deleted the question mark image(may have caused for the links not showing up) and that solved my problem.

@TP Team Is it possible to upload pictures to an album like  "wall photos" thing on Facebook?

I mean, upload a picture without having to create an album... Like a quick upload?

@RJCal yea no kidding I have asking for a year if anyone could do something simpler than a full page create an album page where supposedly you type in a paragraph! Yeesh. Otherwise, these guys are the best!

If i want to upload an image i get this error:

"Upload of images failed. 1235.jpg: Image has too many pixels."

The image i want to upload has 1600 x 1200 pixels.

I try to upload an image with 1 x 1 pixels and get the same error.

trying to load very large images shows me blank page I do.
