Galleries features

Thumbnails

Generating thumbnails for image galleries (and File galleries) requires a php extension: either GD or Imagick. If thumbnails are not working, check tiki-admin.php?page=gal to ensure tiki has detected one or the other, if not these need to be installed and then restart apache.

Use database to store images

Use directory to store images

Choose Storage Location: You can decide for images to be stored either in the database, or in a folder on your webserver. Storing images in your database is OK for small images, but a folder is recommended for a high volume site or when your images are relatively large. Note the trailing forward slash in the path entered in the above graphic, but also here in red. Be warned, if you want to restrict access to the images, you have to choose a folder that is not browsable (not inside the document root of your webserver).

/home/cogley/www/uploads/tikiimg/rm/


Path characteristic checklist:

  • Has a trailing slash.
  • Is specified from the root.
  • Is in a separate folder from Tiki, for better security.
  • Has its permissions set (e.g. via the chmod command) to allow uploads by the webserver user.
  • Has enough space to allow storage of your expected image volume.


If you take a look at your folder after uploading some images, you can see that Tiki randomizes the filenames, as shown in this graphic:

Image Troubleshooting Tip: If you are having trouble with image uploads, you can edit settings in your PHP.ini, or, place an .htaccess file in the root of your tiki installation.

# Partial .htaccess file sample. 
#
# Override PHP.ini variables, which can be viewed using PHPinfo:

#to upload 30M files
php_value upload_max_filesize	"30M"
php_value post_max_size         "32M"
php_value max_execution_time	300
php_value max_input_time        300

#other params interesting (NOT for file upload specifically)
php_value memory_limit 		"32M" 
php_value session.cache_expire    20000
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime  20000
php_value session.cookie_lifetime 20000   

# Zero means unlimted request body size:
LimitRequestBody 0

More info on limit about uploaded files can be found File Galleries Config

Image Troubleshooting Tip: If you encounter random errors and webserver crashes, you may have updated your apache, but forgot to update/recompile your graphics library. The apache error log will give you some hints..
