Image in article quicklist - not working for me

[Inge Jones]

First let me say I searched for other posts on this problem, found several, and read them.  I find my problem not solved by anything I have read so far.

This is experiened by both me (admin of whole site) and a normal status user.

Create html article, write text body etc, save, approve etc.  Article showing fine on site.

Edit article, browse to image (tried several different format and sizes).  Chosen filename appears in box.  Save article (as there appears to be no other upload button anyway).   Page just goes blank, wait ages, page remains blank.   Use back button or reload site required to go on working.

Uploaded file is now in tp-images folder with for example 2213uid prefixed to name.   But there are still no quicklist entries to pick from when editing the article.

What am I doing wrong possibly?

IF the page goes blank, I think you are having a server error. Can you check the error_log on your server? Also the SMF log to see if anything is in there. Would be helpful if you posted the versions of SMF/TP you are using too so we can test.

Nothing in SMF error log.  BTW the page that I appear to be directed to after saving the post and is showing me an empty page is headed by the url "http://www.den.simlogical.com/denforum/index.php?action=tpadmin", which works fine when entered directly

I am using SMF 2.0.2 but I am not quite sure where to check the TP version number?  I don't remember now offhand what it said when I downloaded.

I think these lines from the apache2 log may be the relevant ones

Oh... I think we're missing the GD library.  I'll try and install that and get back to you if there are still problems

Later:  Well I am pretty sure that's what the problem is caused by.  But it's turning into the devils' job getting it set up to work    However, that's not TinyPortal's problem.

Ah yes that is the problem most likely. The ImageCreateTrueColor() function is part of the GD library I believe.

You can see your version for TP by hovering over the years in the copyright. Or by clicking on that link.
