Hmmm, do you get links but no images, or they just never seem to be displayed at all?

Can you also do a view source on the page and see if they turn up in there in any way?  Will help me troubleshoot

Hi,

thanks for your help. yes I get links.
please take a look at http://www.bookstocollect.com/
you will see the one image on fourth right is not appearing which is the bmp file. it has the link to original image and it will open it too, but does not show its thumbnail on the homepage.

I did the view source of the homepage, it shows for other gifs and jpgs like

<img  src="/gallery//albums/userpics/thumb_a621_1%7E0.gif" class="image" alt="views: 1" title="views: 1"  />

but for bmp, it shows like

<img  src="/gallery/images" class="image" alt="views: 1" title="views: 1"  />

Please advise.

Sorry, I was wondering how cpg stored them... I don't have any BMP's in my gallery that I know of.

Okay, found it on your site.  Yes, the thumb is a bmp.  I just checked and my code does not handle finding bmp files as thumbnails.

My philosophy has been to support what CPG supports out of the box.  They allow for anything GD or ImageMagick supports.

Here is the list from ImageMagick:
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/formats.php

Yeah, I am not going to support all of those - but BMP makes sense... maybe a few others.  But not all I don't think.  Who knows though... maybe someone would like to see a thumb of a pdf...  I dunno

I will add in BMP support for the next dev release.

Okay, how long do you think the new release will take?

thanks anyway.

I think for the next dev release I have two major changes that need to be finished:

1) Automatic detection of CPG being bridged

2) SMF forum specific bridge code created

3) Detecting if the config file needs to be re-installed or not and prompting for that.

4) The recently discovered bug of loading two different config files.

The first is coded, but not tested yet (in theory it should work though)

The second I have to install SMF and create a new website to test this on

The third, I forget.  I think I have to code in to detect the version numbers, but have not fully tested it yet

The last, I have not even started to poke at.


I would say tomorrow night maybe... depends on a few life related things on how much time I get.  If it is going to be longer, I will send you a patched up version that you can try.

Sorry for the delay.  Another problem required a very large change... 

I have it done, and just need to test it tomorrow I think.  The fix will be in version 1.9.9 when I post it.

[hozyali]

thanks, I will wait to see the new version.
