NEW MODPACK ADDITION: Manually crop thumbs / replace thumbs for images and media

[Stramm]

yes,
maybe it's a good idea to read the modpack docs, too

I'm so sorry for obviously being a complete dunce, but the installation instructions:

ownload (attached to this thread) unzip and upload the archive contents to your server replacing the existing files.

aren't quite explicit enough for me!
Where on my server should I upload the files to? I have tried my coppermine/plugins directory but it doesn't list in the plugins manager; also tried various other locations but to no avail.

If you could tell me where the files should go for this mod i'd be very grateful!

[Nibbler]

You upload them to your Coppermine directory, replacing any files that already exist.

[oneredpanther]

right, well I've done that and run the database update but I can't see any new options anywhere.
Am I missing something fundamentally obvious that marks me out as an idiot?!! Thanks for your help!

[Stramm]

This addition is part of the modpack for coppermine >= 1.4.14. As you should run the latest stable version, there's no need anymore to add this mod. It's already included.
You need the modpack. Without it won't work. Use the english (US) as language. Read the first post of this thread for more info on how to use the mod.

[oneredpanther]

This is strange. I have indeed installed the latest modpack and run the update. Every single mod appears in the plugins manager EXCEPT for the Cropper that I need. There is also no link above thumbs called "change thumb" - it just doesn't appear.

[Stramm]

please post a link and a testuser account. Make sure you've enabled 'custom thumbs' in config (files and thumbnails settings)

[oneredpanther]

Thanks Stramm,
Where should I enable custom thumbs? I have no section called "files and thumbnails settings" nor does anything similar appear in the standard coppermine config panel!

[Stramm]

In the admin menu click the 'admin' button. If the modpack is installed and you use one of the suppprted languages (recommended is to use english [US] to do the settings) you'll see additional entries, eg. watermarking.

hi! i installed the modpack succesfully and i'm trying to change the thumb of a zip files, after clicking save after cropping my image it goes back to the first page with the old thumb so nothing happens.

here after uploading a picture it goes back to that :

the URL would help

[nadioz]

oops, sorry ! http://lovelylopez.net/multimedia/index.php

[Stramm]

works as expected if you http upload http://lovelylopez.net/multimedia/displayimage.php?pos=-10 (pdf file, coral as custom thumb). Your batch added example won't work if you don't allow php/ gd2 to save images in that folder (chmod it to 755 or 777, depending on your server setup).

PS: Never post publically admin pwds as this can be used to take over your entire server. I've edited it out in your above post.

[nadioz]

ok thanks, but i didn't get which folder i need to Chmod ?

[Stramm]

The folders in which you (ftp) upload your files. In your above example it would be albums/Film

[nadioz]

ok, thanks, i did it but it still doesn't work.  :-\

[nadioz]

it works for the pdf file but not the zip file.

[Stramm]

You have chmodded that folder? Tried with both possibilities?

[nadioz]

don't i really don't get i chmoded the folders and the thumb won't change. I did it with a pdf and jpg file and it works but not with the zip file .

[nadioz]

so it's not possible to change the thumb of a zip file ?
