fotoblog 3 does not create thumbs(back to index)Although I did anything (at least I think so) as stated in the quick tutorial, the Thumbnails of fotoblog did not show up. I changed the permissions of the three folders (photos, thumbs, comments) to 777 but its still not working. does anybody has an idea what could be wrong?
in the url below you find the site i am talking about.

Do you get any error message? If yes, post it.

no message at all. where should it come from? from the browser? a friend of mine said that the inability to create thumbs could result from a missing server extension. is that possible? the php-version on the server is up to date.

I got the same problem with folderblog 2. when i create the thumbnails manually and put them in the "thumbs" folder, they show up on screen. so it seems not to have to do with the folderblog version. the documentation for creating thumbnails in version 2 says to run post.php to create them. so i ran post.php, but what should i do then? type some php-command? there's nothing else stated on the manual :(

btw, the URLs have changed. The first links to [http://tomasio.at/kraxfotos/fb3/fb.php/ folderblog 3] and the second to [http://tomasio.at/kraxfotos/fb3/fb.php/ folderblog 2] the latter with manually created thumbnails.

True, this can be it. As I am quite familiar with the source code of fb.php, you will see there a line like "IF (THIS SERVER CAN CREATE JPEG FILES) THEN CREATE THE THUMBS", speaking literally.
And there appears no error message if I remember well... one of the bad things I currently try to resolve with my new folderblog "ikue release". I just put a new version on my webserver (link: see the appropriate post in this forum) that solves the above mentioned deficit of the old folderblog. If your graphics library doesnt work, it will tell you...

hey ikue,
thank you for your help. unfortunately I got a strange result after uploading your modified .php-files into my directory: A blank page, without any error messages :/
I will ask my host provider if they got any server ext. like imgwriter, or a GD library which is open source and is available here (http://www.boutell.com/gd).

I cannot estimate where your specific problem lies because this would require on-server testing and debugging. Without any message at all it is difficult to find the lines of source code. Just check whether you uploaded the newest fb ikue release 1.2 correctly, so you didnt accidentally make a mistake here.
