I’m having some difficulties getting the imgsizer plugin to work on a new site. I’ve installed it properly (and have used it with success before). But on this install I get an error when I try to call the imgsizere tag. Using this:

<ul id="images" class="modal-links group">
 {exp:channel:entries channel="image" status="open"}
     <li>{exp:imgsizer:size src="{full_img}" height="120"}{sized}</a>{/exp:imgsizer:size}</li>
 {/exp:channel:entries}
 </ul>

Fatal error: Call to undefined function imagecreatefrompng() in /var/www/sites/hosted-dww/sarahstockstill.com/system/expressionengine/third_party/imgsizer/pi.imgsizer.php on line 466

I looked at the error line, briefly, doesn’t seem to be any diff than the imagecreatefromjpeg function?

Hi, rorourke -

I’d recommend contacting the plugin author for assistance with this add-on.  I’ve also moved this to CodeShare for you since it’s a third-party issue.

Thank you.

Thanks Lisa,

Developer recommends all support questions go through EE forms.. which is why I posted it here.

rorourke, you might see our community news guidelines; while the community can help you, add-on developers need to offer their own support venue if they’re going to support their add-ons.  But we’ve never offered official support for third-party add-ons.  That’s always up to the author of that add-on.

What size is the original image that you are trying to resize? As far as I know imagecreatefrompng has a maximum size of 1040x1000 so ensure your image isn’t maxing out there.

Next up do you have GD support installed on the server?

Best wishes,

Mark

How can I determine if GD support is installed? It is selected, as it is be default, in the System Administration > Image Resizing PReferences.  But my hunch is that, no, it isn’t, as this is a rather custom server environment being run by our own sys admin.

Wasn’t aware it was a necessary prereq for EE imgsizer?

Thanks Mark!!

Just run the server wizard, it will tell you.

Thanks!
