Thumbnail trubble(back to index)My thumbnails are not being created. I have CMDOD everything correct, I donīt know what else to do.
Iīm running folderblog3 (beta 7) on apache with PHP 4.3.7. I think both imagemagick and GD2 are installed.
Exacly how are the thumbnails generated?
Is it something that I can tell the guy who runs my server to fix/install?
I had the same problem with earlier versions but I waited for FB3 before I did anything.
Thanks!

My hunch would be that GD is not installed/properly configured. Create a file that reads
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
and call it info.php. Do a search on the page contents for "gd" to ensure gd is enabled.
If it is a permissions problem, you should be getting error messages.

Yes, it was GD that was missing. GD2 is now installed and works fine. Thanks!

another question concerning thumbnails: when i use fb3 to generate thumbnails it creates square thumbnails that look really wierd: http://therohan.com/fb.php
is it possible to create square thumbnails that are not squished horizontally?

The square thumbnails are not squished, but cropped to a square ratio — the edges are lopped off.
You can toggle square thumbnails on or off in fb_settings.php.
