I see. Thanks. I'm quite new to all of this.--Olaf 23:54, 11 December 2007 (MST)

Thumbnails

Anybody that knows how to get thumbnails to work on MediaWiki without ImageMagick, please contact me.--Olaf 17:49, 11 December 2007 (MST)

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:

extension=php_gd2.dll

and then make sure that php_gd2.dll exists in your php/ext directory. --Deflective 23:33, 11 December 2007 (MST)

GD works fine. I just don't know the options I need to set with the wiki files to use GD.--Olaf 23:59, 11 December 2007 (MST)

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 this page if you haven't seen it yet.--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?

This is what happened before when I tried to turn on thumbnailing.--Olaf 00:42, 12 December 2007 (MST)

looks like you got it working. Congrats =) --Deflective 00:56, 12 December 2007 (MST)

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.--Olaf 01:02, 12 December 2007 (MST)

Firefox search engine

Trying to add the wiki to search engines in Firefox results in: "Firefox could not download the search plugin from http://th.blandsauce.com/wiki/opensearch_desc.php"

The page itself gives "Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /home/content/a/u/s/austindozier/html/th/wiki/extensions/ParserFunctions/ParserFunctions.php5 on line 45"

I'd very much like that feature working.--Starker 15:25, 12 December 2007 (MST)

• This should work now--Olaf 02:04, 12 December 2007 (MST)
  • Still doesn't. Same Firefox error. Other wikis get added just fine.--Starker 15:25, 12 December 2007 (MST)
