qustion about creation thumbnails

[crazyluki]

hi!
i have got one question.
why thumbnails creations, can`t be faster, and why it doesn`t make (for example ) 10 thumbs per one refresh ?
why it stops, when occur error - it should show logs error after all thumbs have been created.

sometimes when thumbnails are created i`ve got white screen with one text/link ( to disable creation thumbnails).

and my words about loging error - it was little solution for my error;/

of course newest phoca ( 188)

Hi, when Phoca creates the thumbs you see a white screen with

"creating thumbnail (image name)" please wait... and a link to stop/disable thumbnails creating

this is normal.

Or do you mean, that you see this screen, but it's not creating thumbnails anymore?

While creating of thumbnails, the php system can return a fatal error (because of memory or gd library). This fatal error stops the script (there is no possibility to prevent the memory fatal error), so there is the link 'stop thumbnail creation' which is rendered before possible fatal error. thanks this link the automatically thumbnail creation can be stopped, it means the looping can be stopped.

yes, there is blank screen only with option to stop creating a thumbs.


@Jan
i`ve got dedicated server (2x opteron 2x2Ghz, 8GB ram)
php_memory_limit = 1024M

GD installed correctly.

I was writing about possible fatal error. The link is there because of possible fatal error which can occure for some users.

First of all: hi and thanks for developing such a component!
I use the 1.88 version on joomla 1.56...no sef turned on.
php 5

I've installed it and i think it answers my needs )))))

BUT alas it stopped creating thumbnails after creating 11... I had the white screen with the red link to deactivate the thumbnails creation...
I reactived it ant it worked again (for 11 again)
and after that it never worked again: eadch tme i turn it on it wants to be turned off..

and the phtos i addded have no thumnails (ok) BUT they are not accesibles if you clic on then....
If i add a youtube video there is no thumbnail (i added a picture though) but it is accessible (of course will you say it is not on your server!)

It thus cannot be a pb of rights (it worked once)

gd library worked at least twice...(and is enabled)

memory limit? I doubt it since my php info says 32M

i read that as a php script is not allowed to run more thant 30 second there is a redirect???? May be that?

Any ideas out there????

Hi, see if you have enabled the php ini_set function, it sets the php memory limit to 50 MB and then (after thumbnail creating) back to default limit..

see if you get some error message, maybe you have disabled the php errror reporting so the error message is not displayed... Mostly this is a fatal error about memory limit...

redirect is here because if you create e.g. 300 images, it is not possible to do thumbnails in one script (in 30 seconds - mostly), so after every thumbnail creation new script will be loaded (new 30 seconds) ... which browser you use? do you have enbaled the http redirection?

First thank you for answering and your explanation.
the php ini_set seems to be not enableda nd i'm on a VDS si I cant change that easilye (must ask)

Since i posted i tried to make my photos smaller and it addedd some thumbnails and sotpped again....
An dthen i noticed i had a huge (4 meg) one which was workinfg pefexctly (first i thought that more 2m wold be the soolutuion since it got stuck when it get to a 2 meg file)

So I thought the pb was not the memory limit, and i read ther taht sometimes it could b the format and that manipulating jpgs wpwold solve the pb (i thoought that saving them again after resizing was a sign it was true)

but no...

AND today, prior to test a new extension i tried to make a little backup (part of it is copying folder joomla to another folder on the sever + databeses exort) and THERE i discovered something.....
I already noticed it when trying to use some sextensions: sometimes (i don't kno=w why cause i'm too ignorant avbout how a script discusses with a server) the script wites files on the server and it is apache the owner and not "me"/// which is bad!!!

so when trying to copy muy control panel told me that:
