Image gallery
Drew
via web
Hi, i have 2 questions.
I am having trouble with the image plug in. When I uploaded the images, it failed to create thumbnails. On the front end the user only sees red x, but if I click on the red x, the pic shows up. When I read the directions it seems this is a common problem because this is what I read, "Thumbnails do not show up (user sees red X's - in IE). If this is the case, the problem is due to wrongly enforced file permissions from your server (the file showthumb.php should be writable - 755 or 777). Or your server is missing the GD Image Library. Either way, ask your hosting company to fix this.". Any help??
Also, I know that now I am allowed up to 5 sites but havnt really had time to take advantage of this. I finally got around to make a second website but don't want to start from scratch . Is there a way I could make a copy of the website I have built. Then I could fool around with it, revamp it, and maybe eventually switch the dns to the new site.
Thanks for your help
Drew

Hi Drew
We'll look into the gallery
If you give us the SQL dump of your site, and images folder we could push that into a site you have created.

Hi Drew
Do you have any spaces and or capitals in your image names? This is what would create these issues.

David u were correct about the spaces in the pic file name, that problem solved.
Barrie , sorry for ignorance, but I need a little help with my "SQL dump" for my site. Not sure what that means. - My images are all under the 'stories' folder.
Thanks for your help guys,
Drew

Hi Drew
You would need to somehow get a database export (the SQL). Most people
do this with a tool like PHPMyAdmin
