<h3>What's <b>GD</b> and how can I get it?</h3>
|
|
|
215 |
<p>GD is a graphical library which enables PHP to do image manipulation. You can download it at <a href="http://www.boutell.com/gd/" class="external">www.boutell.com/gd/</a>. You will need to recompile PHP on (L)Unix systems, depending on your setup Apache as well. Most recent versions of PHP come with GD - go for a package. On most windows systems, you can just enable it in the php.ini file. (this can of course only be done if you're running your own server; if you're with a webhost: find out if your webspace has gd; if not: ask your webhost if you can have it or get another webhost).<br /></p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr />

<h3>What's ImageMagick and how can I get it?</h3>
|
|
|
219 |
<p>ImageMagick is a graphical library for image manipulation. You can download it at <a href="http://www.imagemagick.org" class="external">imagemagick.org</a>. There are sources available for Unix, Linux, Mac and Windows executables, as well as binary packages for various server operating systems. You can only install ImageMagick if you are running your own server, or you have shell access to it - you can not install ImageMagick if you're webhosted.

<h3>What are the <b>steps</b> to get Coppermine running?</h3>
|
|
|
245 |
<p>as stated in the readme:
|
|
|
246 |
<ol>
|
|
|
247 |
<li>Download Coppermine</li>
|
|
|
248 |
<li>Unzip it to your harddrive</li>
|
|
|
249 |
<li>Upload the stuff to your server</li>
|
|
|
250 |
<li>chmod the folders "include" and "albums" for the script (the webserver, that is) to have read/write access</li>
|
|
|
251 |
<li>point your browser to http://www.yoursite.com/coppermine/install.php and follow the directions of the install file (basically the mySQL-tables will be created there and the config table will be filled with default values)</li>
|
|
|
252 |
<li>after successfull installation, delete install.php from your webserver</li>
|
|
|
253 |
<li>point your browser to http://www.yoursite.com/coppermine/ , log in as admin, admin mode and do the config job (customizing your coppermine)</li>
|
|
|
254 |
<li>Play around, toy a little, test if everything works</li>
|
|
|
255 |
<li>Publish your site by linking it (e.g. from your homepage)</li>

<h3>How can I <b>install ImageMagick or GD</b>?</h3>
|
|
|
260 |
<p>You can only <a href="#enableIMonWindows">install ImageMagic or GD if you're running your own server</a> or if you have at least shell access to your webserver. If you're hosted by a webhost you can only contact your webhost and ask them to install it for you or choose another webhost.<br /></p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr />
|
|
|
261 |
|
|
|
262 |
<a name="minimumInstall"></a>
|
|
|
263 |
<h3>I'm short on webspace. Is there a "<b>minimum install</b>"?</h3>
|
|
|
264 |
<p>This is of course a contradiction in terms: running a gallery page usually means you will need a lot of webspace for your pics, but if you only want to publish some pics and have little webspace left, there are some files that don't have to be uploaded or can be removed if not needed. It is however recommended that only experienced users create a minimum install; when in doubt, go for the full install.</p>
|
|
|
265 |
<ol>
|
|
|
266 |
<li><b>Remove all languages that you don't need</b> (if your users are all from the same country).<br />
|
|
|
267 |
It's recommended that you keep English anyway even if your users use another language, just for you as admin to be able to temporarily switch to English.<br />
|
|
|
268 |
Delete all files in the lang-subfolder of your coppermine install except yourlanguage.php (e.g. if you're using french, delete all files but /lang/french.php and /lang/french-utf-8.php).
|
|
|
269 |
<br /><div class="totop">Webspace that can be saved (maximum): 2.9 MB</div>
|
|
|
270 |
</li>
|
|
|
271 |
<li><b>Remove all language files that come with an encoding you don't need</b><br />
|
|
|
272 |
You'll notice that for each language there are two files in the lang-folder: yourlanguage.php and yourlanguage-utf-8.php. You will need the utf-8 files only if you chose "Unicode(utf-8)" in "Character encoding" on your config page. Using <i>Unicode (utf-8)</i> will display the gallery in the language your page visitor has set in his browser. If you haven't chosen <i>Unicode (utf-8)</i> in coppermine config, it's safe to delete all language files with "utf-8" in their filenames from the lang folder.
|
|
|
273 |
<br /><div class="totop">Webspace that can be saved (maximum): 1.7 MB</div>
|
|
|
274 |
</li>
|
|
|
275 |
<li><b>Remove all unnecessary themes</b><br />
|
|
|
276 |
Remove all themes you won't use from your themes folder. If you're using a customized theme, it's recommended to leave the classic/default theme in place for administrative purposes.<br />
|
|
|
277 |
Example: if you're using the theme "Eyeball" that comes with coppermine, you can safely delete the sub-folders "classic", "fruity", "hardwired", "igames", "mac_ox_x", "project_vii", "rainy_day", "styleguide" and "water_drop" from your themes folder.
|
|
|
278 |
<br /><div class="totop">Webspace that can be saved (maximum): 1 MB</div>
|
|
|
279 |
</li>
|
|
|
280 |
<li><b>Remove the docs folder</b><br />
|
|
|
281 |
The docs folder contains documents that are meant to help you set up and administer coppermine, but it doesn't have to be on your webserver. You can safely delete the docs folder from your webserver (or even don't upload it in the first place), but it's strongly recommended to keep the docs folder on your local machine for reference.
|
|
|
282 |
<br /><div class="totop">Webspace that can be saved (maximum): 0.5 MB</div>
|
|
|
283 |
</li>
|
|
|
284 |
<li><b>Remove bridge files</b><br />
|
|
|
285 |
The bridge files are being used for integration of coppermine with a bulletin board software like phpBB, YaBB SE, SMF etc. If you're not using bbs integration at all it is safe to delete the whole bridge folder from your webserver (or not upload it in the first place). If you <i>are</i> using bbs integration, you will have to keep the bridge file that corresponds to the bbs you're using - it's safe to delete all other bridge files that exist inside the bridge folder.
|
|
|
286 |
<br /><div class="totop">Webspace that can be saved (maximum): 137 KB</div>
|
|
|
287 |
</li>
|
|
|
288 |
<li><b>Remove the flags</b><br />
|
|
|
289 |
If you're not going to use the "select language by flags" option from the coppermine menu, it's safe to delete the flags folder (/your_coppermine_folder/images/flags/). If you <i>are</i> using the flags option, you can of course delete all flags you don't use at all.
|
|
|
290 |
<br /><div class="totop">Webspace that can be saved (maximum): 80 KB</div>
|
|
|
291 |
</li>
|
|
|
292 |
<li><b>Remove files that are needed for install or upgrade only</b><br />
|
|
|
293 |
Once Coppermine has been installed and is "up-and-running", you can safely delete the files that are needed for installing only: from the coppermine root folder, delete install.php, installer.css, update.php, upgrade-1.0-to-1.2.php. You can delete the folder "sql" as well.<br />
|
|
|
294 |
If you want to update/upgrade your coppermine install later (once a new version comes out), you will of course have to re-upload the update files and the sql folder to your webserver.
|
|
|
295 |
<br /><div class="totop">Webspace that can be saved (maximum): 73 KB</div>
|
|
|
296 |
</li>
|
|
|
297 |
</ol>
|
|
|
298 |
Summary: a minimum install of coppermine will need approx. 3.3 MB of webspace.

<h3>General Upload Troubleshooting</h3>
|
|
|
305 |
<p>When troubleshooting uploads in CPG 1.3, you are advised to change the upload settings in the Groups console to 'Single uploads only' and to activate 'Debug mode' in the Config console. Changing this setting negates some of the error masking done in the multiple upload setting. This will allow you to access more detailed error messages.</p>
|
|
|
306 |
<p><span class="important">First and foremost: check your permissions on the /albums, /albums/userpics, and /albums/edit directories. All should be 777 or 755.</span><br />If you don't know what we mean when we write 777 or 755, you need to do a Google search on UNIX file permissions. Windows has a similar set of file permissions. You can usually set these permissions using your FTP client.<br />
|
|
|
307 |
For those of you who skim over statements written in red letters, I will repeat to try to get your attention:
|
|
|
308 |
<br />
|
|
|
309 |
<span class="important">Yes, we are writing about something that could apply to YOU.
|
|
|
310 |
<br /> <br />
|
|
|
311 |
We repeat -- check your permissions on the <tt class="code">/albums</tt>, <tt class="code">/albums/userpics</tt>, and <tt class="code">/albums/edit</tt> directories. All should be 777 or 755.
|
|
|
312 |
<br /> <br />
|
|
|
313 |
Yes, we want you to check the permissions of each folder even if you think you have already done this. Yes, we mean it.</span>
|
|
|
314 |
</p>
|
|
|
315 |
<p>Please keep in mind that HTTP uploads are limited by the restrictions placed upon them in PHP's configuration.</p>
|
|
|
316 |
<br /> <br />
|
|
|
317 |
<b>Things to check:</b>
|
|
|
318 |
<ol>
|
|
|
319 |
<li><b>max_input_time</b>- 60 seconds is the default time limit for uploading files.<br />This time limit includes the time it takes for the files to upload, so if you exceed this limit, the file will not even parse, and the browser will not get a response. You can workaround this by trying to upload smaller or fewer files, or you can try uploading over broadband. The best solution, of course, is to increase the time limit to something more in line with your needs.</li>
|
|
|
320 |
<li><b>upload_max_filesize</b> - 2MB is the default limit for individual files.</li>
|
|
|
321 |
<li><b>post_max_size</b> - 8MB is the default limit for post requests.</li>
|
|
|
322 |
<li><b>memory_limit</b> - 8MB is the default size.</li>
|
|
|
323 |
<li>PHP's <b>LimitRequestBody</b> - 512KB default limit. (mainly an issue on Redhat/Apache systems. Found in /etc/http/conf.d)<br />In general, upload_max_filesize < post_max_size < memory_limit in order for uploads to function properly. Coppermine may warn you if a file exceeds upload_max_filesize, but it cannot warn you if the total size of all the files exceeds the post limit or the memory limit.</li>
|
|
|
324 |
<li><b>file_uploads</b> – This determines whether or not PHP will allow file uploads. It must be set to ‘On’.</li>
|
|
|
325 |
<li><b>upload_tmp_dir</b> – This specifies the temporary directory where PHP stores uploaded files.</li>
|
|
|
326 |
</ol>
|
|
|
327 |
|
|
|
328 |
<p>The most common issue caused by this setting is an open_basedir warning. In this situation, your server administrator has restricted the files that PHP can work with to a certain directory. If he does not create and specify a temporary directory within the open_basedir restriction, PHP will attempt to use the OS temporary directory, and it will be rebuffed by the open_basedir restriction.</p>
|
|
|
329 |
|
|
|
330 |
<p><b>Some notes about the different types of upload mechanisms available in CPG 1.3:</b><br />
|
|
|
331 |
Multiple HTTP uploads are designed to handle a small number of files, and have been capped at 10. Therefore, they are not really suited for large numbers of files unless you have control over your php.ini configuration.
|
|
|
332 |
<br />
|
|
|
333 |
If you are looking to upload in excess of 15 or 20 files at a time, you should consider the batch add process or the XP_Publisher utility. Each has its own drawbacks and advantages.
|
|
|
334 |
<br />
|
|
|
335 |
The batch add process is fast, but it puts quite a load on the server and may experience timeouts. The XP Publisher utility is slower, but it limits the load on the server. Also, it avoids many of the pitfalls caused by the php.ini configuration by uploading each file in the set as an individual post request.</p>

It's unknown why this happens so far - those who have this error simply can't use Coppermine (sorry for that). If you have got an idea what causes this error (and possibly can come up with a solution), please visit the support board and clue us in!<br /></p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr />

<p>You should contact the admin of your webhost because usually you can't change the location of the temporary directory for file uploads yourself (it is part of PHP configuration) .<br />

<p>Check if <a href="#VersionPHP">your version of PHP</a> fullfills the <a href="#MinimumRequirements">minimum requirements</a> for Coppermine. If your version is 4.1.0 or better, then this error is probably caused by a misconfiguration of your server, so Coppermine isn't to blame in the first place.

<h3>How do I <b>remove/edit the bottom line</b> "<tt class="code">Powered by Coppermine</tt>" ?</h3>
|
|
|
447 |
<p>You mustn't remove the line - it's part of the deal: you're allowed to use Coppermine on your site, but the line stays! It's more than justified to give credit where credit is due; be glad you're able to use such a great piece of software for free.<br />
|
|
|
448 |
You are allowed to change the way the line looks by editing the CSS class to make it fit into the design of your site; edit /themes/yourtheme/style.css, look for the class "Footer" and change it as you wish.<br />
|
|
|
449 |
Note: don't ask stupid questions on removing this line in the <a href="http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/">Coppermine Photo Gallery Support Board</a> - your posting will be deleted!<br /></p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr /><a name="buyLicense"></a>

<h3>I want to buy a <b>license</b> for Coppermine (and get rid of the "<tt class="code">Powered by Coppermine</tt>" line). How?</h3>

451 |
<p>As Coppermine itself is based on OpenSource software published under GNU/GPL (which allows the modification of the code, but disallows to sell the code, modified or not), you can not purchase a version of coppermine with the credit line removed. Read the file COPYING that comes with the distribution of Coppermine for details.<br /></p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr /><a name="removeFeature"></a>

<h3>How can I <b>backup</b> my coppermine database?</h3>
|
|
|
515 |
<p>There's no built-in backup solution for coppermine available yet. Meanwhile, backup your directory/file structure via good old ftp and use a tool like <a href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/" class="external">phpMyAdmin</a> to backup the database (many webhosts that offer mySQL also offer a pre-installed version of phpMyAdmin - go for that!). PhpMyAdmin is easy to install: just download the distribution, unzip it to your harddrive, edit one config file and upload it to your server.<br />
|
|
|
516 |
Here's a small "howto backup a database with phpMyAdmin":
|
|
|
517 |
<ul>
|
|
|
518 |
<li>get the software, install it (remember to password-protect it)</li>
|
|
|
519 |
<li>point your browser to the location you installed it on</li>
|
|
|
520 |
<li>click your database name in the left frame</li>
|
|
|
521 |
<li>in "View dump (schema) of database" select the table(s) you want to back up (press CTRL to select more than one table)</li>
|
|
|
522 |
<li>mark "Structure and data"</li>
|
|
|
523 |
<li>check "Save as file"</li>
|
|
|
524 |
<li>check "zipped"</li>
|
|
|
525 |
<li><b>DON'T</b> check "Add 'drop table'" - your database will be erased, if you do</li>
|
|
|
526 |
<li>press "go"</li>
|
|
|
527 |
<li>save the file on your harddisk (depending on the speed of your connection this could take a while)</li>
|

<h3>The <b>fullsize-pic doesn't pop up</b> when clicking on the intermediate size pic. What's wrong?</h3>

<p>You probably over-edited your template: you'll definitely need the line <tt class="code"><script type="text/javascript" src="scripts.js"></script></tt> inside /themes/yourtheme/template.html to make the pop-up window work...<br />
|
|
|
531 |
The <head>-part of your template file should look like this:<br />
|
|
|
532 |
<pre><head>
|
|
|
533 |
<title>{TITLE}</title>
|
|
|

<h3>I tried to change the <b>language</b> on the config page, but it doesn't work. What's wrong?</h3>

556 |
<p>"Character encoding" is probably set (or has been set sometime ago) to UTF-8 on your config page.<br />
|
|
|
557 |
When UTF-8 is selected, Coppermine chooses your language file based on your browser configuration and stores the value in a cookie. This overrides the value stored in the CONFIG.<br />

<b>To fix that:</b><br />

<h3>I <b>can't delete a certain picture</b> with ftp. What can I do?</h3>
|
|
|
590 |
<p>It is not Coppermine that doesn't let you delete the picture, it is your FTP server. The problem is due to the configuration of your server. Try to delete your picture from within the script.<br />
|
|
|
591 |
If PHP on your server runs under the user nobody then all files created by any PHP script (this is not specific to Coppermine) will be owned by nobody. There is no way to change that.<br /> <br />

|
|
592 |
<table border="0" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2" class="bordl"><tr><td valign="top" align="left"><p class="fliess"> 0777 should not be the default mode for directories because it may be completely unsafe, if your gallery is running on a shared server and PHP safe mode is not enabled, anybody having an account on the server can possibly delete your pictures. There have been several threads on this issue on the Menalto Gallery forum and several users have seen their gallery hacked and destoyed because of that. This issue is not specific to Photo galleries, it applies to all PHP scripts that create directories. Provided you have write access to a directory, you can delete any file it contains, even if you don't have write access to the file itself.<br /> <br />
|
|
|
593 |
I prefer to have 20 persons complaining LOUDLY and REPEATINGLY that they have to contact their sysadmin to uninstal Coppermine, that this is an issue and possibly switching to another gallery because of that rather than 1 person complaining that all his pictures have been erased.<br /> <br />

<br />It is the decision of the sysadmin to run PHP as an Apache module and the fact that all files/dir created by PHP be owned by nobody for instance is the result of this decision. So sysadmins should not complain when you ask them to remove some files or directory.<br /> <br />
|
|
|
599 |
On the webhost this site is running on, everything works fine when directory are created with mode 755 and all files/dir created by PHP are owned by the chezgreg user which is the user I use when connecting by FTP. Also if one of the file/directory on my site has a mode of 777, the server will shutdown my site and send me an email warning me that this is unsafe.<br /> <br />

<h3>I <b>can't upload big pics</b>. What's wrong?</h3>
|
|
|
602 |
<p>The max. size of pics is limited by various settings - to find out why you can't upload big picks, check the following:
|
|
|
603 |
<ul>
|
|
|
604 |
<li>make sure you have enough webspace left (remember that you need space for the full size pic, the intermediate size pic and the thumbnail!)</li>
|
|
|
605 |
<li>when logged in as admin check your "Group" settings: the groups (even the admin group!) have limits that can be configured there</li>
|
|
|
606 |
<li>Browser time-out: commonly-used Internet Explorer has a time-out function: if your upload isn't finished within a certain period, the browser will time-out (applies especially to dial-up connections)</li>
|
|
|
607 |
<li>There's a maximum limit set up in the PHP config of your server. If you're with a webhost there's little you can do, but if you're running your own server, check php.ini and look for <tt class="code">LimitRequestBody</tt> - this value (in bytes) in the max upload allowed by php/html</li>

<h3>I can't <b>login</b> to Coppermine. What's wrong?</h3>
|
|
|
610 |
<p>This is most likely a cookie issue:
|
|
|
611 |
<ul>
|
|
|
612 |
<li>If you're running Internet Explorer 6, you'll have to enable the acceptance of cookies. Click on "Tools" - "Internet Options" - "Privacy" and add your site to the list of sites that are trusted, or set the slider to a lower level.</li>
|
|
|
613 |
<li>Sometimes IE will not handle Cookies properly. Close your browser, try deleting all local cookies manually and start your browser again</li>
|
|
|
614 |
<li>Check if you're running a software that interferes with acceptance of cookies like personal firewalls (ZoneAlarm, Tiny, Cookie Washer etc.) and turn them off to see if cookies are accepted then</li>
|
|
|
615 |
<li>Try using another browser (like <a href="http://www.opera.com/" class="external">Opera</a>, which is rather small to download and can be removed easily). It's a generally a good idea to have some different browsers on your local machine to check if your site is displayed correctly not only in your favourite browser</li>
|
|
|
616 |
<li>If you're using subdomains and the dev version of coppermine or some mod on a different subdomain (like gallery.yoursite.com and board.yoursite.com) this could also cause problems: a subdomain is a different domain (in fact foo.com and bar.com are subdomains of the <acronym class="tool" title="top level domain">tld</acronym> ".com", so regarding cookies they are as different domains as bbs.yoursite.com and comics.yoursite.com). Of course you can "hack some sense" into the scripts, but usually bbs are hard to trick to make them more hack-proof.</li>

<h3>How do <b>albums and folders</b> work in coppermine?</h3>
|
|
|
648 |
<ol>
|
|
|
649 |
<li>When you create an album, it is a 'virtual' album. Coppermine doesn't create a folder for this album on the server's hard drive, it leaves the pictures where they are on the server, and uses the database to know which pic belongs in which album. You can move pics from album to album, but this is all done in the database, the pics are never moved on the server.</li>
|
|
|
650 |
<li>When you upload by html, using the 'upload' link, coppermine places the pic (and the thumb and normal size copies) in the 'userpics' directory.</li>
|
|
|
651 |
<li>When you upload by ftp, you should place the pics in a folder you create, within the 'albums' folder, but not in the 'userpics' folder. You can create as many folders/sub-folders here as you want. You can call these folders anything you want, but we recommend mirroring the category/album structure you have created on the site, for eae of use.</li>
|
|
|
652 |
<li>When you batch add, coppermine asks you what album you want to put the pics in, but it leaves the pics where they are on the server.</li>

<h3>Common PHP errors and how to get rid of them...</h3>
|
|
|
916 |
<p>There are a lot of people (especially PHP newbies) that post questions like <tt class="code">I get the error "Parse error: parse error in XXX"</tt> and don't know what to do about it. That's why I translated this list of common errors (and a solution how to fix them) from the original german article in <a href="http://www.drweb.de" class="external">Dr. Web</a> :<br />
|
|
|
917 |
<ul>
|
|
|
918 |
<li><tt class="code">Parse error: parse error in C:\Apache\htdocs\read.php on line 8</tt> - This error message refers to an error in the PHP syntax. You probably forgot to end a line with <tt class="code">;</tt> or you have too many brackets opened or closed (<tt class="code">{</tt>).</li>
|
|
|
919 |
<li><tt class="code">Fatal error: Call to unsupported/undefined function ... in C:\Apache\htdocs\read.php on line 8</tt> - This error means that the function your script was going to use isn't defined in the current PHP version with modules, or if yo're using user-defined functions that your function hasn't been defined yet (this is usually caused if you forgot to include the function definition).</li>
|
|
|
920 |
<li><tt class="code">Warning: Wrong parameter ... for ... in C:\Apache\htdocs\read.php on line 8</tt> - you have handed over too many (or the wrong) parameters to the function. If it's a built-in php-function, check the <a href="http://www.php.net/manual/en/funcref.php" class="external">manual</a>; if it's a user-defined function, check your code.</li>
|
|
|
921 |
<li><tt class="code">Warning: Cannot add header information - header was already sent ... in C:\Apache\htdocs\read.php on line 4</tt> - you had some text output first (e.g. the doctype declaration or <tt class="code"><html></tt>) and called the function header() afterwards. This is most often the case when using cookie stuff. Remember you can not use header() twice!</li>
|
|
|
922 |
<li><tt class="code">Parse error: parser stack overflow in C:\Apache\htdocs\read.php</tt> - PHP is out of memory - this usually happens if you built an eternal loop, especially when using include statements.</li>
|
|
|
923 |
<li><tt class="code">Warning: fopen("file.txt","r+") - No such file or directory</tt> - the requested file or directory doesn't exist. Check the spelling (accuracy counts here).</li>
|
|
|
924 |
<li><tt class="code">SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 531 is not allowed to access...</tt> - The safe mode is switched on. Some functions in the upload systems can't be used. Usually your webhost has put safe mode in place (often not correctly configured). Try switching silly_safe_mode on.</li>

<h3>Can I rename template.html to template.php to include PHP code in my template?</h3>
|
|
|
931 |
<p>No, this is simply not the way coppermine works; for "normal" pages the name of the extension tells the webserver wether the file should be parsed by the PHP interpreter. The template files within the themes folder are not being parsed this way - the extension .html was just chosen to make editing easier. You can not have PHP code in the template file, no matter how you name it - that's it!</p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr />

934 |
<h3>How can I prevent users from saving (stealing) my pictures?</h3>
|
|
|
935 |
<p>You can not completely prevent users from stealing your pics - that's the way the www works: if a picture is being displayed in the browser, the user already has a copy of it on his hard drive. There are however some methods to make it harder for newbie users to steal your pics:
|
|
|
936 |
<ul>
|
|
|
937 |
<li>Add a watermark to your images before you upload them</li>
|
|
|
938 |
<li>Apply one of the watermark-hacks: <a href="http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?topic=1467.0">Coppermine support board / mods / Watermarking hack (w/ ImageMagick)</a>, <a href="http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?topic=3269.0">Coppermine support board / mods / Watermark on a per image basis (GD)</a>, <a href="http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?topic=7160.0">Coppermine support board / mods / Permanent Watermark with GD2</a>. Please note that those hacks will result in a high server load, as the watermark is applied to a picture each time a users views the picture in his browser.</li>
|
|
|
939 |
<li>Prevent Internet Explorer to show the image toolbar when a user hovers over a pic with the mouse. Edit themes/yourtheme/template.html, find <tt class="code"><meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" /></tt> and add after it <tt class="code"><meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" /></tt></li>
|
|
|
940 |
<li>Use one of the many "no right-click" scripts that are available (e.g. <a href="http://coppermine.sourceforge.net/board/index.php?topic=2450.0">Coppermine support board / mods / no right-click</a> or <a href="http://www.codelifter.com/main/javascript/norightclick1.html" class="external">codelifter.com: no right-click</a>)</li>

<h2>I'm running my own server</h2><a name="enableGD"></a>
|
|
|
950 |
<h3>How do I <b>enable gd</b> on my Windows server?</h3>
|
|
|
951 |
<p>GD 1.x 2.x are normally part of all standard PHP distributions under Windows<br />
|
|
|
952 |
To check if you have it, go to the directory where you installed PHP, go to the "extensions" subdir and see if you have a file named "php_gd2.dll".<br />
|
|
|
953 |
Sometimes you also need to edit your php.ini file (located in windows directory normally) and remove the ";" that is at the beggining of the line:<br />
|
|
|
954 |
<tt class="code">extension=php_gd2.dll</tt> (at the end of the file). This will cause PHP to load the GD2 extension.<br />
|
|
|
955 |
Whenever you make changes to php.ini, remember that you may need to restart your webserver.<br />

<h3>How do I <b>enable ImageMagick</b> on my Windows server?</h3>
|
|
|
960 |
<p>ImageMagick is quite complicated to set up on Windows. There are several things to be taken into account. The Coppermine support board is <b>not</b> the right place to ask for help on installing it, as it deals with Coppermine, not "How to set up a server" (most people on the Coppermine boards don't run their own webserver, but they have webspace by a webhost). Instead, try to find support boards on the internet that deal with this special topic.<br /><br /></p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr />

<p>The support board is <b>not</b> a hotline. Although there are many visitors to the site, only a few do actually support - on a free, voluntary base. We don't get paid for it, we have a life, a job, a family. We are away sometimes.<br />If you don't get an answer to your question:

970 |
<li>make sure you have given us enough time to react (days, not hours!)</li>

|
|
|
972 |
<li>maybe your question has been asked very often</li>
|
|
|
973 |
<li>maybe your posting has been rude or impolite and you're ignored for that reason</li>

<h3>How should I write my <b>question</b>?</h3>

<p>If you have a question, make sure you provide as much information as possible:
|
|
|
978 |
<ul>
|
|
|
979 |
<li>a link to your gallery is most often the only way to help - provide it with your question, or even better: edit your profile on the support board and enter the url of your page there!</li>
|
|
|
980 |
<li>when addressing server issues, make sure to provide information on your server (<acronym class="tool" title="operation system">OS</acronym>, server, PHP version, mySQL version, gd lib version, safe mode on/off?). Most information can be retrieved by <a href="#VersionGD">phpinfo()</a></li>
|
|

981 |
<li>if it's a client issue, give us information at least to your client's <acronym class="tool" title="operation system">OS</acronym> and browser</li>
|
|

982 |
<li>Give us a screenshot, if necessary</li>

<li>use a proper subject line: state in the subject line what your question is actually about! Most supporters are reluctant to answer to a posting that has a silly subject line like "I have a question" or "Install problem" or "feature request" or "help me pleeeeaaaase"</li>

<h3>Hey, by looking at your profile I can see you're German/French/Whatever. Can I post a question in that <b>language</b>?</h3>
|

<p>Please do not post in another language than English - this way, others may benefit from your question (and the answer), too. Don't be afraid to write "bad english" - no one will laugh at you, and most visitor's first language isn't english either! There's a german support board available at <a href="http://forum.the-service.de/" class="external">http://forum.the-service.de/</a> - use it if you' not able to write in English!<br /></p><br /><div class="totop">[<a href="#top" class="nodeco">top of page</a>]</div><hr /><a name="emailSupport"></a>
