Error displaying thumnails when uploading images
« on: December 27, 2014, 04:00:55 PM »
Hi admins,
I have been trying to upload some images to the wiki to add to the 3D printing page.
I have uploaded various formats (JPG, PNG, GIF etc) and they all display when linked in full size (they are 800 X 600)
However, on the 'Gallery on new files' page, every one (and some from other users) all show as 'Error Creating Thumnail' instead of a thumnail image

Then, when trying to display them on a page, if I use the fullsize image it will display correctly but if I add 250px or similar to scale it, the image doesn't appear, just a box saying "Error Creating Thumnail"

Can anybody with access to the code have a look at this please?

As it's only just started, I haven't given it any categories yet so it won't be indexed.

Are the thumbnails showing up for you, Paul or do you see a grey blank with an error message?

still grey, if you right click on any other page picture that works and hit properties you see the whole link to file .jpg etc, but these greyed out jobbies do not.

I did see the file name had spaces so grabbed pic and renamed it and sent it up but that didn't work, even tried changing the scale px to a known size 200 but no joy. even looked at bottom of page at coding missing but from the looks of it pages don't need it like html...

so not sure chaps...
