New GD library, still can not upload Gif's.

[dshade69]

I worked things out with my hosting provider to have the GD libraries upgraded so gif writing would work again.  However when I try to upload a gif, I still get "Not a GD extension"

Using gd_info I get the following:

array(11) {
     ["GD Version"]=> string(13) "2.0 or higher"
     ["FreeType Support"]=> bool(true)
     ["FreeType Linkage"]=> string(13) "with freetype"
     ["T1Lib Support"]=> bool(false)
     ["GIF Read Support"]=> bool(true)
     ["GIF Create Support"]=> bool(true)
     ["JPG Support"]=> bool(true)
     ["PNG Support"]=> bool(true)
     ["WBMP Support"]=> bool(true)
     ["XBM Support"]=> bool(false)
     ["JIS-mapped Japanese Font Support"]=> bool(false) }

Is there anything that I need to change in coppermine itself to be able to upload gif's, or if not does anyone know what the problem might be?

Thank you,

Yes, you need to modify coppermine code. Modify include/picmgmt.inc.php like this:

Code Select Expand

$gifsupport = 0;
// Check for GIF create support >= GD v2.0.28
if ($method == 'gd2') {
$gdinfo = gd_info();
$gifsupport = $gdinfo["GIF Create Support"];
}

        // GD can only handle JPG & PNG images
    if ($imginfo[2] != GIS_JPG && $imginfo[2] != GIS_PNG && ($gifsupport && $imginfo[2] != GIS_GIF) && ($method == 'gd1' || $method == 'gd2')) {
        $ERROR = $lang_errors['gd_file_type_err'];
        return false;
    }

Could you please let me know what code I need to replace with this code, or where in picmgmt.inc.php I need to place this code?

Ok, following GauGau's code did not work for me then I followed the thread that kegobeer supplied, and that did not work for me either.  I have gif writing support, I know this by the various test that others have supplied to check and see if its enabled.  Looking through the code I noticed this section in upload.php:

Code Select Expand

/ JPEG and PNG only are allowed with GD. If the image is not allowed for GD,delete it.
               } elseif ($imginfo[2] != GIS_JPG && $imginfo[2] != GIS_PNG && ($CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd1' || $CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd2')) {
                   @unlink($path_to_image);

                   // The file upload has failed -- the image is not allowed with GD.
                   $file_failure_array[] = array( 'failure_ordinal'=>$failure_ordinal, 'file_name'=> $file_name, 'error_code'=>$lang_upload_php['not_GD']);


The code I was supplied in previous posts all modified picmgmt.inc.php but nothing I saw modified upload.php.  Could someone show me how to modify this code if it needs to be modified?

Thank you,

I forgot to post the changes in upload.php.  Sorry about that!

In upload.php:

after this

Code Select Expand

// Globalize $CONFIG.
global $CONFIG, $lang_upload_php, $user_form, $max_file_size;

add

Code Select Expand

$gifsupport = 0;
// Check for GIF create support >= GD v2.0.28
if ($method == 'gd2') {
    $gdinfo = gd_info();
    $gifsupport = $gdinfo["GIF Create Support"];
}

replace (around line 1270)

Code Select Expand

} elseif ($imginfo[2] != GIS_JPG && $imginfo[2] != GIS_PNG && ($CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd1' || $CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd2')) {

with

Code Select Expand

} elseif ($imginfo[2] != GIS_JPG && $imginfo[2] != GIS_PNG && ($CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd1' || ($CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd2' && !$gifsupport))) {

replace (around line 1942)

Code Select Expand

} elseif ($imginfo[2] != GIS_JPG && $imginfo[2] != GIS_PNG && ($CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd1' || $CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd2')) {

with

Code Select Expand

} elseif ($imginfo[2] != GIS_JPG && $imginfo[2] != GIS_PNG && ($CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd1' || ($CONFIG['thumb_method'] == 'gd2' && !$gifsupport))) {

See if that gets it working.

Great, that did the trick.  At first it didn't work, but when I turned on debug mode I saw that there was a problem in  upload.php with $method not being defined.  After I fixed that, gif uploads seem to be working fine now.  Thanks for the help

[kegobeer]

Glad it worked.  For those who wonder about the $method problem, in upload.php:

find

Code Select Expand

// Globalize $CONFIG.
global $CONFIG, $lang_upload_php, $user_form, $max_file_size;

replace with

Code Select Expand

// Globalize $CONFIG.
global $CONFIG, $lang_upload_php, $user_form, $max_file_size, $method;

Well everything seem to be working fine but now all my images have lost their exif data, and no exif data is being saved when I upload pics.  I have already set up a mod to resize pictures, and I had the exif data working after that, so I am assuming when I changed the files to add gif support I somehow broke exif support.  Any ideas?  If no actual code, then even where to look.  I tried turning on debug but didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

still not work?

GD doesn't preserve exif data.

still not work?

what's your actual question?

[taicomjp]
