Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

Hi,

For some time I have tried to raise my php memorylimit to more than 32M. My camera produces 12MP images and php needs more than 32M to handle that.

Changing memory_limit in my php.ini (I host the album on my own server) raised the "master value" in php.info, but not the local value.

After much research and experiments with .htacces files I searched the TWG php-files for references to ini_set and found two, that tries to set the memory limit in php.

The one in index.php did the trick - setting it to the same as my memory_limit in php.ini finally gave me more memory, when i check my installation in TWG administration.

Now I can upload unalterede and big images from my camera.

So far so good. I have uploaded some big images and TWG can produce thumbs and big images, but when I try to view a slideshow, only the first image is visible. When the slideshow progresses there is only an empty placeholder for the thumb and no image.

I run TWG 1.77, I have no errors in the log and I use Imagemagick.

To sum up:

1) Why did I have to edit index.php to raise the memory_limit?
2) Why is my slideshow not working?

Many thanx in advance,

Asbjørn

Hi,

Other question:
why have you set $try_to_increase_memory_limit_to_32MB to true?
because only then TWG tries to increase the memory.

So how much memory do you have now?

About your slideshow - which slideshow type? Because image magick is not used for all slide show types and therefore gdlib is used and this seems to fail on your server.

Hi,

I set $try_to_increase_memory_limit_to_32MB to true some time ago to try to increase the memorylimit. I had forgotten that - It is set to false now, and the memory limit is correctly set by php.ini.

Sorry for that.

The slideshow I had trouble with was the one that you get, when you click the little green film and the one that you get when you click on a large image and you get the final largest image size.

I just tested both slideshows now and it works perfectly.

Is it right, that gdlib must have taken its memory limit from $try_to_increase_memory_limit_to_32MB so the album could only work for images larger than 32M uncompressed with imagemagick until I followed your suggestion and fixed $try_to_increase_memory_limit_to_32MB?

Thank you for the quick (and very sharp) reply! It helped me a lot.

You know your stuff

I forgot to say that my memory limit now is 256M.


Thanks again,

you are right - gdlib used the 32 MB and therefore it failed.

Have fun using TWG,
Michael
