: i'm not certain about this but it seems to work for me. if you have access to your '''php.ini''' file then uncomment the line:

: i didn't change any other settings, just made sure that apache was restarted. if that doesn't do it i'm not sure what the fix is. there's [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Image_thumbnailing#Image_thumbnailing this page] if you haven't seen it yet.--[[User:Deflective|Deflective]] 00:19, 12 December 2007 (MST)
 
::Yes, I've seen that page and another. Following the directions on it have had us end up with the images as just Image:Wrench2.gif or similar. http://th.blandsauce.com/wiki/thumb.php5?f=Wrench2.gif&width=40 gives the error: Error generating thumbnail  Error creating thumbnail: Image was not scaled, is the requested width bigger than the source?

::Actually, I didn't. Yes, thumbnails will work, but won't use any sort of script. It actually makes a new .gif file when a thumbnail is made. For example, the one you just put thereis located at http://th.blandsauce.com/wiki/images/thumb/7/77/Twilight_heroes4.gif/180px-Twilight_heroes4.gif Also, after further consideration, this is fine.--[[User:Olaf|Olaf]] 01:02, 12 December 2007 (MST)

Clickable Images

Can we make the images clickable? For example, from the main map you can click "Downtown" and navigate to that page. When you then click "Zion Tears" you get an edit box for the image, if you want to navigate you have to click the blue link text. I think you can do this, but I don't know how to define the coordinates and have not found a wiki language description for this.

I only found this:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Navigational_image It sounds like you need to use a redirect.--Olaf 17:43, 23 December 2007 (MST)
Another update on this, I'm trying to get something easy working on this, but just need somebody that made an extension we could probably use to get back to me.--Olaf 18:02, 5 March 2008 (MST)
