Image Fun Script
Don't ask me why it took me this long to remember that I still hadn't uploaded and provided a link to the new, improved Image Fun script. It's been done for months and months now. LOL
I honestly thought I had until someone asked for something similar and I came here trying to find it. It was nowhere in sight, even though it was uploaded. Go figure...
Anyway, here's a link to the zipped version of my little Image Fun Photo Gallery script. It'll also dynamically create the thumbnail images for you if you want it to. Or not. The choice is yours.
Instructions are included in a readme file. Released under GPL license of course, so tweak and improve to your heart's content.
Requirements are:
1.) PHP enabled on your server.
2.) Image Magick installed on your server, but only if you want to let the script create your thumbnail images.
3.) You have to have Safe Mode turned off in the PHP configuration for your domain if you want the script to create the thumbs. The issue is that Image Magick uses the exec() command, which is something that is disabled if Safe Mode is turned on.
If you want to see what it looks like and how it works, Mr. Will uses it on Planet Sound Community Arts' for all of their photo gallery pages. He also uses it on his personal site where you can view and soon be able to purhcase reprint rights to his excellent photographs.
[ADDED May 15th !!! Please Read!!!]
I made a boo-boo when I pointed to the already uploaded the Zip file the other day. The version that was uploaded was one that has issues if your PHP installation is a default configuration. Namely if Global Variables is turned Off in your PHP configuration, which is the norm for most hosts.
The version at the link above has been replaced with a Globals Safe version, so if you had grabbed it before May 15th and were having issues please grab it again. The currently available download should sort out those Global variable problems and will work whether Globals are toggled on or off.
Thanks!
