Quick Question:

[Nichole]

Hello! I am currently using version 1.3.3. Because of this, I am unable to upload gifs. I know that there is a hack/mod available to allow me to upload gifs, but I also know that the newest version allows you to upload gifs. I was *hoping* to be able to upload animate gifs . . . but I'm not sure if that is at all possible? Anyhow, my real question is: I know that I will not loose actual data/photos if I were to upgrade, but will I loose all of the template modifications I have made?

Thanks

you'll have to apply the stuff mentioned in the theme upgrade guide that comes with cpg1.4.x to use your cpg1.3.x theme with the new version - please read the docs.
Gif support for cpg1.3.x can be found here: http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=9407.0

However, no version of coppermine has full support for animated gifs, as the image libraries coppermine uses (both GD and ImageMagick) don't support animated gifs. This means: you can add animated gifs, but the thumbnail and intermediate pic will be a static representation of the animated gif (first frame). However: animated gifs are being considered as deprecated anyway, I suggest reviewing the whole idea of using them.

Please use a better subject for threads you start next time.
