GPG 1.3 Photo Rotate doesnt work on my gallery?

[arrs]

Hello,

Im a newbie to all this.

I have setup 1.3 and all "seems" to be working fine apart from the rotate option. Im using GD 2

When I select a rotate angle then click preview I get a blank new ie window

Any ideas?

Anyone?

IS it only the preview, or does it happen when you 'Save picture' or 'Save as thumb'?

I have the same problem. It wont let me rotate some pictures, but it did work with some other pictures (smaller maybe).
It happens with preview, save picture, save as thumbnail. So not only with preview.

What could be the problem here?

You could be exceeding GD's memory limits.

how big (filesize and resolution) are the pics you tried to rotate?

do you know the limit? could you just tell us?

[Joachim Müller]

no, I can't, since it depends on your server settings.

For example, a picture I can't rotate, gets me a blank window as said in the first post.

this is what I'd call a waste of resources and a file too big for a web gallery . Try reducing the size of your pics before you upload.

True, but sometimes i like to have te originals online as well as the resised versions. Is there nothing to do about this?

[Joachim Müller]

rotating such large pics just consumes to much resources on the server, that's why it doesn't work. Nothing that can be done about it in coppermine. If the server is yours to administer, you could try playing around with the settings in php.ini and the apache configuration (not recommended though). If you must keep the large originals on your webserver, why don't you just do the rotation on your client pc before uploading then?

I have tried rotating a very small file and when I click priview i get a blank page.

This is the image I tried to rotate http://www.elliotbarrs.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=12

Any ideas?

I also tried rotating pictures, 60k, very small. No luck. Gaugau, could you tell us a little bit more about server configuration?

[Joachim Müller]

please refer to the sticky threads on the upload board and check the php and apache pages for reference on server vars - this is something that can't be supported on this board. Another possibility is your image library (usually GD) just isn't capable of roting (afaik there have been others who reported a similar issue to yours, maybe a solution was posted as well - please search the board for "rotate blank page").

Hi, i have a web with more than 3000 photos and i get a blank page also. But because of a ecard problem i tried to install a new coppermine and rotation worked without a problem there... why is that?

[Joachim Müller]

you should always run the most recent stable version. One of the reasons why newer versions come out is the fact that bugs are being discovered in older versions that make newer ones necessary. In fact I don't understand your question, imo the question "hwy do older versions not work" is invalid. This is something I have learned in all those years I'm involved in computer stuff: if it's running, never ask why, just be glad that it works .

Hi!

My question was: "why does it works in the just installed version and not in the one I have now (both the same version).

I can rotate small pics (15kb?), but not the big ones (90k...but all the pics are less then 100kb) and I don't really know the limit...

This is a part of my php.ini so maybe someone has an idea?  :-\\

Code Select Expand

memory_limit = 10M
...
post_max_size = 8M
...
upload_max_filesize = 4M

@ the big-file-rotate-problem :

i also had problems rotating big pictures (>1mb).In settings,  i selected ImageMagick instead of GD 2.x. now it works fine, but the thumbnails have a bigger file-size.
