Image Upload/Access location mismatch
I installed from an ubuntu package, MediaWiki 1.11.2 How can I configure it for everything to come from /var/www/mediawiki?
 * In LocalSetting.php, I have set MW_INSTALL_PATH to /var/www/mediawiki
 * When I upload an image it goes into /var/www/mediawiki/images
 * But when I try to display that image, I get nothing. In the apache error log I see that it is trying to access the image file from /var/lib/mediawiki/images.

Thanks

Update
-- I 'fixed' this by creating a symlink

How to use Mediawiki:Licenses?
I think the text in this article is hard to understand. I don't want my users to be able to upload images without selecting a license. How do I do that? There's a default option called "No license selected", I want that greyed out or something. Add: it would be nice to explain what to do or where to look if one (a 'sysop') wants to enable this. Currently, there's no clue where to go.

Cannot get convert (thumbnail) to work on W2k3

 * Installed Dynamic ImageMagick in the following directory -> D:\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16
 * Verified that ImageMagick worked on command line
 * Verified Environment variable is PATH'd correctly
 * Verified to Web Server has access to D:\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16 directory
 * Modified LocalSettings.php with the following lines:
 * $wgUseImageResize		= true;
 * $wgUseImageMagick		= true;
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16\\convert.exe";

also tried:
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16\\convert";
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16/convert.exe";
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "D:\\ImageMagick-6.3.0-Q16/convert";
 * $wgImageMagickConvertCommand	= "/usr/bin/convert";

with no luck on any of them.

Any tips to try would be very much «appreciated».
 * Try fixing the double slashes. That ought to do it. 69.153.141.224 02:59, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Following will be ok
$wgEnableUploads      = true; $wgUseImageResize     = true; $wgUseImageMagick = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-6.3.2-Q16/convert";
 * 1) To enable image uploads, make sure the 'images' directory
 * 2) is writable, then set this to true:
 * 1) $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "/usr/bin/convert";

Unfortunately I have the same issue, I have my settings exactly as in this article (correct path ) however still get the error listed. Anyone else with any input?

Try just commenting the line $wgImageMagickConvertCommand, it went fine on my case.


 * If it's Windows, that last line should be:

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to run external programs in safe mode.
I couldn't manage to install and run ImageMagick properly for my own wiki. I have the error msg as it's seen in the thread when i try to use thumbnailing code of wiki. Any detailed instruction or any web page i can find instruction would be highly appreciated. I also find an old version of ImageMagick which is pre-compiled. Is that usefull and easier to install?
 * Well, you can take off safe mode. If not then there is no point in installing ImageMagick. You will get the same error message. You could use GD::SVG, that is, if you can install it. If you are on host, that might not be an option because server needs to compile it. You can get a binary but your back to the safe mode restrictions. You could call GD directly, but the thumbs will not display correctly because GD does not support svg. In other words, if you cannot disable safe mode and you are on a picky sticky host then as current your options is most likely none. I would not be too concerned. Have a look wikipedia. They have a very large amount of png images with a template asking to move to svg because they might consider the time is right. You may consider a similar option. 03:18, 19 September 2007
 * I experience the same problem. As I removed "$wgUseImageMagick = true;", the thumbnailing works well now. But SVG could not work yet. [I installed my wiki on a mandatory host, which I have no full control on it.] -- Senvey 04:30, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I just got the roo-cause was the PHP is in safe mode, which was probably set in php.ini. -- Senvey 06:18, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * VERY strange that it works with "$wgUseImageMagick = true;" commented out, but the same here! Now thumbnailing works (all except svg), even with Safe Mode on (just use the correct safe mode exec dir etc settings)
 * I think when you disable wgUseImageMagick, MediaWiki use your previously created thumbnails so no error occured. Did you try to upload some new images and test its thumbnail? And remember that PHP config directives are not only in php.ini. If you installed PHP as Apache module, Apache's config file can effect PHP (see http://php.net/configuration.changes). To ensure that safe mode is off, you should create a .php file in the same directory with MediaWiki's index.php, fill it with the code, and view it by browser. Cumeo89 02:38, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * No, commenting out #$wgUseImageMagick = true; actually restores thumbnailing to newly uploaded images. SpiralOfYarn 23:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have exactly the same problem. Rendering thumbnails always fails with the »Unable to run external programs in safe mode« error.  In fact, at my own site safe_mode is off, as some short phpinfo instantly proves!  But what can I do?  Disabling ImageMagick is not an option as GD seems to have problems with file names containing umlauts.  I would really appreciate any hints! --77.179.108.82 21:57, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Error creating thumbnail: (using rsvg)

Please help me on this ! --Ankit.madan 07:54, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Check that you don't still have the old imagemagick code enabled. I was having this problem and realized that in a fit of idiocy I tried to comment out the imagemagick variables in localsettings with ';' instead of '#'.


 * I'm running windows server 2008, I have found that you must manually go to the ImageMagick website, download and install the program, and set $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = "C:/ImageMagick/Convert.exe"; or whatever your directory is instead of /usr/bin/convert or whatever it is, since they design it for bloody linux only

Error creating thumbnail: SVG Error creating thumbnail
I hate to throw my problem to the masses but I've exausted all other available resources. I'm having exacly the problem this wiki is having in rendering my svg thumbnails. I'm using CentOS 5 in 64-bit mode, apache 2.2.3, php 5.1.6, mediawiki 1.12.0, ImageMagick 6.2.8, rsvg 2.16.1

LocalSettings.php $wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg'; $wgAllowTitlesInSVG = true; $wgSVGConverter = 'rsvg'; // or ImageMagick

ImageMagick error, as seen on this other person's wiki, appears instead of the image, no .png file is created at the thumbnail location Error creating thumbnail: ERROR: meta.c (179): wmf_header_read: this isn't a wmf file convert: Delegate failed `"wmf2svg" -o "%o" "%i"'. convert: unable to open image `/tmp/magick-XXZSRth4': No such file or directory. convert: unable to load module `/usr/lib64/ImageMagick-6.2.8/modules-Q16/coders/svg.la': libdbus-1.so.3: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory. convert: unable to open file `/tmp/magick-XXZSRth4': No such file or directory. convert: missing an image filename `PNG:/var/www/html/wiki/images/thumb/2/2c/Broom_icon.svg/400px-Broom_icon.svg.png'.

RSVG error, appearing in a log file, with a broken image on the page, no .png file is created at the thumbnail location (libcom_err.so.2 is installed through e2fsprogs-libs 1.39) /usr/bin/rsvg-convert: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.2: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory

Following the syntax presented in $wgSVGConverters for ImageMagick or rsvg on the command line produces the proper png file from a valid svg file. DefaultSettings.php (unchanged) $wgSVGConverters = array( 'ImageMagick' => '$path/convert -background white -geometry $width $input PNG:$output',  'rsvg' => '$path/rsvg -w$width -h$height $input $output', );

I thought I might have a permission problem. Apache run with the user apache:apache, which owns all the web files. /tmp is publicly writable. I changed /var/html/wiki/Images/thumb to be publicly writable with no effect. I'd like to use svg's, if someone has a clue please help. I have a suspision that the wiki I linked also uses CentOS in 64-bit mode.

Please don't suggest upgrading software versions unless you are absolutely sure it fixes this particular issue. Software updates on CentOS are non-trivial and have repercusions in the enterprise environment. If you have are having this issue, please also pipe in, and people might take the issue more seriously. Thanks for your time. Quadir


 * You may try to increase shell memory limits in LocalSettings.php, e.g.

$wgMaxShellMemory = 131072;
 * This helped for me with rsvg - the default 102400kB in DefaultSettings.php turned out to be a bit too small.
 * This question was asked before, with some answers:
 * Error creating thumbnail: Unable to run external programs in safe mode. (above)
 * Error creating thumbnail: convert.exe: unable to open image :Permission denied
 * User_talk:Emufarmers
 * It appears like this problem is very common, with over 9,000 pages having the same problem.
 * Rumpsenate 07:35, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I was also getting the wmf_header_read error with ImageMagick. It would work fine from command line, but I never got it to run from MediaWiki. I ended up just switching to RSVG (add $wgSVGConverter = 'rsvg'; to localsettings). --Quantum7 (talk) 00:26, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Error Creating Thumbnail - Image Magick Not Found
I installed Image Magick to the following directory: C:\ImageMagick

In my LocalSettings.php file are the following fields: $wgEnableUploads      = true; $wgUseImageResize     = true; $wgUseImageMagick     = true; $wgImageMagickConvertCommand = 'C:/ImageMagick/convert.exe'; $wgFileExtensions[] = 'svg'; $wgAllowTitlesInSVG = true; $wgSVGConverter = 'ImageMagick'; $wgSVGConverterPath = "C:/ImageMagick";

But when I upload a jpg, I get the following error: Error creating thumbnail: /home/content/90/5181590/html/bramtonpedia/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: C:/ImageMagick/convert.exe: No such file or directory

When I upload a svg, I get this message: Error creating thumbnail: /home/content/90/5181590/html/bramtonpedia/bin/ulimit4.sh: line 4: C:/ImageMagick/convert: No such file or directory

I know it's there. Why doesn't MediaWiki?

Error creating thumbnail (SVG) for MediaWiki 1.15.x and Windows
For weeks I have try to rasterize SVG image using 3rd party tools, and none of them work. That includes adjusting $wgMaxShellMemory, $wgSVGConverters array and etc. Opening the log reveals no specific error details on what causes it to failed. Checking out the $wfShellExec in GlobalFunctions.php reveals it could not run any command line with slashes! It had to be replaced with black slashes!

Open up your GlobalFunctions.php and look for. It should be replaced with

The  indicates to terminate program once execute that line of command.

And the output should be: } elseif ( php_uname( 's' ) == 'Windows NT' ) { # This is a hack to work around PHP's flawed invocation of cmd.exe # http://news.php.net/php.internals/21796 #$cmd = '"' . $cmd . '"'; $cmd = 'cmd /C '. '"' . str_replace( '/', '\\', $cmd) . '"'; }	wfDebug( "wfShellExec: $cmd\n" );

Also, in v1.15.x, there isn't any need to add a few variables at LocalSettings.php. All you need is to adjust variables at DefaultSettings.php. Look out for the SVG settings in it and change it accordingly.

That should work.

If uploading files continues to throw permission errors, check the permission settings for c:\Windows\Temp, NETWORK USER may need to have Read and Write permission for ImageMagick to work.

Error creating thumbnail: ImageMagick returning exit code 2
This is likely the same problem as some of the ones mentioned before, but the symptoms look a little different, so i thought i'd add another post here.

After an OS upgrade on DreamHost, i started seeing errors like these in the log whenever ImageMagick tried to resize images (and they were small-ish JPEGs, stuff that'd always worked before):



The articles themselves just said 'Error creating thumbnail', with no other explanation.

Finding nothing on 'error 2' in either MediaWiki or ImageMagick's documentation, i decided to play with things myself, and it turned out that, as above, it was a memory-limiting problem. Doubling the default value continued to cause issues, so i'm currently doing this:

$wgMaxShellMemory = 512000;

Not sure if newer versions of ImageMagick require more memory, or if DreamHost changed something else, but that's done the job so far. — 75.173.171.241 23:10, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Error creating thumbnail: File seems to be missing
I recently changed servers, and am getting this error for a few images. I can see the image is in the correct folder in the file system. It's on a godaddy shared hosting plan, and I have verified GD libarys are available and I have activated Image Magik and confirmed the path is correct. I have also set the image folder to 777.

Any idea what could be causing this? --- im having the same issue and can't figure out what's going on.

Error 139 (No image creation, Some memory, core error) with ImageMagic and solution
$wgMaxShellMemory  = unlimited; $wgMaxShellFileSize = unlimited; Cyber1000, 21 March 2010
 * ImageMagick itself worked on the command line, but no thumbnail creating within mediawiki(actually I got stubs containing only the header of an gif)
 * First turn on Debugging: $wgDebugLogFile    = "/tmp/wiki.log"; (before you see only stubs in the thumb folder and no more message)
 * It always said error 139, not anything more
 * I figured out it was a problem with ulimit4.sh (/usr/share/mediawiki/bin/ulimit4.sh for my Fedora-distro)
 * I didn't find another way as that ulimit -v and -f Parameter should be unlimited (If to low I got a segfault, if to high I got a "memory not allocatable" fault)
 * To achieve this behaviour:
 * These values get directly passed to the ulimit4.sh and this works for me.

The above is correct but does not include what I searched for. It was missing the key phrases of "Segmentation fault" and "core dump". I did not find it until I came to add a new section. So I am adding a bit more information. The log message I had was:

Image thumbnailing and resizing: intelligent program analysis of image content
Why does MediaWiki make unnecessary Thumbnails? e.g; on Image:USDA Hardiness zone map.jpg the "higher resolution" image is only slightly different from the the "thumbnail", and it is therefore wasteful to bother producing one instead of showing the actual image. --belg4mit


 * Because we suck, we're all incompetent, bad programmers, and MediaWiki is doubtless the most ridiculous piece of software out there, and thus not suitable for your use. I would strongly advise using an expensive, proprietary solution, where your developers are paid and have time to listen to unhelpful criticism. robchurch | talk 13:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

--


 * Peter Blaise trys a response: Hi belg4mit. I think what Rob is suggesting in his own unique and witty way is that MediaWiki is OpenSource at it's most dynamic.  So ... JUMP IN and make it what you'd prefer!  Perhaps YOU can suggest AND PROGRAM your own enhancements to the existing MediaWiki programming that would meet your needs, and benefit all subsequent users.  In other words, I think Rob is suggesting that we all stop asking others for the enhancements we want, and get to work creating the changes we want for ourselves.  And then, like the programmers before us, Rob included, upload our solutions for all others to share and improve upon.  Have I got it, Rob?  ;-)
 * So, belg4mit, I think we are all aware that "stupid" is too general a word, and could apply to programmers as well as to programs and to users, and apparently in your case, to a mismatch between your preferences and the defaults of the programmer's choices that came before you. So, make it intelligent by your standards.  Then it's up to others to asses your preferences as stupid for their own purpses or not, and improve from there.  OpenSource is messy and evolves in spits and spurts, and may never be perfect for everyone all at the same time. I think my own MediaWiki setup choices, tough appropriate for our group, might frustrate other MediaWiki users.  It's all custom.  So, belg4mit, I look forward to your contributions, and seeing your configuration settings and custom program enhancements.  Why not start a contribution list of your own at User:Belg4mit and let us keep track of your solutions and give you our useful feedback?
 * By the way, I know of no "intelligent" image manipulation program out there, anywhere, on or off MediaWiki, at any price. That is, I know of NO image program that intelligently makes decisions based upon the contents of the image, especially "smart" resizing.  If anyone knows of any such tools, PLEASE share links here, and let's see if we can incorporate them into MediaWiki.  In the meantime, I've renamed this thread from "Stupid sizing" to  "Image thumbnailing and resizing: intelligent program analysis of image content".  There are more than 1 million links resulting from a Google.com search for "+intelligent image manipulation" - overwhelming, but it's a place to start.  Essentially, it's advice to the person running any image program to do that "intelligent" analysis on their own, in their own mind's eye, before saving!  Otherwise, everyone should be advised that any image appearing on any MediaWiki screen is the result of someone's active or default choices, and may appear useful, or not, to the subsequent viewer ... and may also be dependent somewhat on the end user's browser settings and screen resolution and settings.  Check yours at http://gemal.dk/browserspy/ - mine is ~96dpi, and these letters are ~1/8th inch (~3mm).  What's yours?

Uploaded SVG images don't look correct
Hi all,

I've been trying to add a couple .svg images to my new wiki (1.10), and for the life of me, I can't them to look like they do here.

For example, this is your file:



and this is what happens why I put it in my wiki (and it scales horribly, too):



I've tried this with ImageMagick and Inkscape, and they look the same. I'm guessing its a parameter in the LocalSettings file, maybe in here:

$wgSVGConverters = array(   'ImageMagick' => '"C:/Program Files/ImageMagick-6.3.5-Q16/convert" -background white -geometry $width $input $output' );

Any ideas? Nate


 * Also, is there anyone from mediawiki that could tell me what converter mediawiki.org is using? And maybe the applicable settings in the LocalSettings file? I'm certain it has something to do with that. Thanks!

Thumbnail circular reference

How Do I Change the Default Resolution for Medium-Sized Thumbnails?
I am using a skin that sets the globalwrapper div (and hence, the main content area) to a fixed width, 850px, including the navigation menus. When I upload a large image, the medium-sized thumbnail often extends beyond the boundary of the main content area, and it looks really bad. What could I do to make the default resolution for the medium-sized thumbnail a bit smaller? I have some knowledge of PHP but don't know where to look for this setting. Thanks.

I am using the GD Library, but if I have to, I'll get Image Magick.

--Wikitonic 22:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

UPDATE: I checked inside the thumbnail directory and now I see that each upload is automatically resized to 5 different resolutions (180px, 300px, 350px, 500px, and 800px). So let me rephrase the question, by splitting it up into two questions. (1) How can I have MediaWiki display the 500px thumbnail instead of the 800px thumbnail when you go directly to an image's page (image:xxx.jpg)? Or, (2) Is there any way to have the resizing script create the largest thumbnail to be slightly less than 800px (e.g. 650 or 700px instead of 800px)? Either solution will work fine for me.

Thumbnailing Instructions Incomplete or Inconsistent?
"To enable image thumbnailing, set ... $wgUseImageMagick to true ..." Even when using only GD?

"Make sure the $wgImageMagickConvertCommand variable points to the proper location of the convert command of your installation ...." What would this be for the GD included with WAMP?

SVG
Hello,

I have a problem with svg files on my local wiki. I have allowed the upload of the SVG files so now I can upload such files, no problem with this part. But I don't understand the 'part 2' : "Second, set $wgSVGConverter to the renderer you want to use" : I imagine that it isn't enough just to say "I want to use rsvg or magick", but that you have to install it on the server. I don't know how to do that, can anyone help me ? by advance, thanks Malta 13:36, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

It says that the permission is denied in a certain directory and ends with "...GlobalFunctions.php online 1670" Can anybody help me with that? My best, --Gollum 19:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey Gollum, I had the same issue on my 1.11.0 instance - a 777 chmod on /images/deleted seemed to work. --Chrys 16:08, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's it! Thank you! --Gollum 00:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
 * In my case, all subdirectories in the images directory except the subdirectory "deleted" were owned by apache, so "chown apache:apache deleted" solved the error for me and made it possible to delete the file.

I wonder if deleted images are still stored in MW 1.8.2. and if so how can I delete those deleted images? Thanks! subfader

Resizing of Some GIFs Rendering Poorly; Setting Needs Changing?
The resizing of images for thumbnails generally works great, but for some reason it does not for a small subset of images. This subset seems to be GIF images with large transparent backgrounds, e.g. logos. When they are being resized, some of the foreground is being dropped. This dropping does not occur if you resize in Photoshop. Could it be that a simple change in setting is needed?

Examples:

External applications
The notes for using external apps to render svg are a little confusing for someone unfamiliar with adding applications to web servers. I use a shared Linux server with the most recent Mediawiki loaded onto it. I'd like to use the same renderer as wikipedia, but it seems that is only for gnome environments - is that right? How (if you can?) do you install Imagemagic or anything else via ftp? Surely you don't put it on your local machine, else how will it work when other people view the svg files? Any pointers on how to get a svg renderer onto my server would be gratefully welcomed. RS

Image Renaming
Well i have done some searching and as of yet i have found a good solution or answer that will allow me to Rename an image. For the most part, until recently, the names of my images were a combined name (ie MediaWiki.jpg) instead of a representative name (ie Media_Wiki.jpg) Yes i know the underscore is evaluated as a space but it still files it as such with the underscore.

If renaming is not possible, then how about considering updating the mediawiki template to allow pictures to be considered moveable much like the other pages. Currently i am forced to delete them and upload the same image with the correct naming format.

Goldbishop 18:42, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, image renaming is still impossible (see bug 709). —Emufarmers(T 21:26, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

PDF Thumbnails?
I host many PDFs on my wiki, and in order to get a proper thumbnail, I first have to export the PDF as an image, upload that image, then link it to the PDF in question. Imagemagick can work with PDFs already. Here are some examples. Imagemagick itself says that it's not the best tool for vector-vector conversion, but we're not trying to do that, all we want is a preview thumbnail for uploaded PDF files, instead of that hokey adobe icon. Is it possible to add this functionality? Where in the code would it exist in the first place?

Rename images
I can't find any information about renaming images anywhere. My Wiki-users are uploading images without renaming them. Now I have a lot of images named "135.jpg" and other numbers.

Batik refuses to render SVG images.
Using: Mediawiki version 1.15.1, OS: Ubuntu 8.04.3 LTS, PHP 5.2.4, Apache 2.2.8

Attempting to render SVG graphics I get this error instead of the thumbnail or image:

Error creating thumbnail: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.batik.i18n.LocalizableSupport at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Messages. (Messages.java:48) at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.81) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main. (Main.java:299) at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.81)

Have downloaded batik 1.7 binaries, and have decompressed (using JAR) to /usr/share/java/ This seems to make MediaWiki reference and use the Batik java system, as I was receiving a completely different error before regarding the rasterizer jar file not being found. Now with the change, it spits the aforementioned error.

Have entered in LocalSettings.php: $wgAllowTitlesInSVG = true; $wgSVGConverter = batik; $wgSVGConverterPath = "/usr/share/java/";

Have searched everywhere on the web - no clues. Can break it further by removing the Java files, so this proves the Java is being loaded for Batik. It just doesn't work.

Could this be a missing dependency in Ubuntu, rather than an actual code problem?

As this is breaking my head for 2 days now I'm going to ditch Batik as it has wasted my time. I write this in the hope I can help someone else avoid using this mistake piece of software.

Update: I have successfully rendered SVG images using ImageMagick. Initial configuration: $wgAllowTitlesInSVG = true; $wgSVGConverter = 'ImageMagick'; $wgSVGConverterPath = "/usr/bin/";

This did not work straight away, due to missing dependency: libwmf-bin This provided previously missing wmf2eps binary.

I employed this change to LocalSettings.php:

$wgMaxShellMemory = 131072;

And used chmod 777 on the thumb directory under the images directory.

eg: chmod 777 /usr/share/mediawiki-1.15.1/images/thumb

And now all is working well.

I say the main page for SVG images should recommend ImageMagick. I dont understand why it is considered to do a poor job, seems to work just fine here.

Using browser scaling for PNG thumbnails
I hacked my old MW 1.8.x to use the *actual* PNG image and let the browser scale it downward for thumbnails, as the bundled GD library seemed to fail miserably when it came to creating anything comparable in quality to that of JPG thumbnails (even when I upgraded GD to the latest version). ImageMagick wasn't an option for me. I present it here in the hope that in the future we can skip PNG thumbnailing via a config option, given how many problems I've read about it in various discussion groups.

File:    includes/Image.php Function: function getThumbnail( $width, $height=-1, $render = true ) { Find: if ( $render ) { $thumb = $this->renderThumb( $width ); Replace with: if ( $render ) { if ( $this->getMimeType == 'image/png' ) { $thumb = new ThumbnailImage( $this->getURL, $width, $height ); } else { $thumb = $this->renderThumb( $width ); }

File:    includes/Linker.php Function: function makeThumbLinkObj( $img, $label = '', $alt, $align = 'right', $boxwidth = 180, $boxheight=false, $framed=false, $manual_thumb = "" ) { Find: $s .= ''. '</a>'; Replace with: $s .= '<a href="'.$u.'" class="internal" title="'.$alt.'">'. '<img xtest=0 src="'.$thumbUrl.'" alt="'.$alt.'" '. 'width="'.$boxwidth.'" xheight="'.$boxheight.'" '. 'longdesc="'.$u.'" /></a>';

In case the change in the second file isn't obvious: I intentionally broke height parameter, as the '-1' default was causing the browser to correctly render the original image as a thumbnail, albeit with a corrected height of 1px; not specifying height leaves the browser to render the thumbnail image height according to its aspect ratio. Tested on IE only. --Gth-au 04:13, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Can't make librsvg work.

I think i am doing something wrong with librsvg. I can't find any reliable documentation on how to use it.


 * I take it you're on a shared hosting service (judging by your mention of GoDaddy and the error you provided). librsvg needs to be installed on the server and requires root access to do so, you might want to ask your host if it's installed and what the current path to it is. --NachoDuck 15:56, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Metadata preservation
Where do we adjust the settings for preserving embedded metadata in resized and thumbnailed images?

Currently on my installation, if I upload a .jpg image file that's been carefully stuffed with metadata, so that it's optimised for image search engines and for reuse outside MediaWiki, that data is preserved in the original uploaded file, but it's stripped from all the smaller versions of the file that MediaWiki generates for display (including the mid-sized preview image). I don't care much either way if thumbnails are stripped, but I want critical embedded information - keywords, descriptions, titles, locations, author, licensing, copyright info, etc. - to be retained.

Presumably there's going to be some function or setting somewhere for "preserve metadata when thumbnailing" ? ErkDemon (talk) 11:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

After updating to WM1.19.1, most of thumbnails are not displayed anymore. There is only a message that the file could not be saved. Magick is off, /images and subdirectories are present and writeable. Any help is welcome!

How to show the SVG itself - disable PNG conversion - and leave display to browsers supporting SVG?
I want to upload an SVG file to my Mediawiki and leave display to the browser - I do not want Mediawiki to convert anything, just define viewing size in the article page. Is this possible? How do I disable thumbnail creation - I don't need it - really. It is important for exporting article with SVG illustrations as EPUB 3.

+1 The manual page here says: "Set $wgSVGConverter = false if SVG rendering is not needed and you wish to make your users download the svg file in order to view it." Why would I want to offer my users a link to download an SVG file? If they came with a browser which supports SVG, just show it, if not, then offer a link.
