Not displaying gif thumbnails

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.1
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (cgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.67-community
 * www.medrevise.co.uk

It doesn't always display *.gif thumbnails. Its quite annoying! An example page where this is happening: http://medrevise.co.uk/index.php5?title=Birth_anatomy#Passage

Any ideas? Would be appreciated! —MedRevise 14:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Cannot see images that have been flagged as Thumbnails

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.1.6 (isapi)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.37-community-nt
 * URL: Internal website

I seem to have a problem with a website I have created, whereby I cannot view images that have a "|thumb" option set. If I specify the image to be a thumb it just displays a link to the file instead of the image.

I also have the problem if I alter the image by using the "|100px" option as well. If the image is unaltered I have no problems in displaying the image.

The server is a Windows 2000 server running IIS. I don't have this problem on a server running Windows 2003 with IIS and the same Mediawiki, PHP and MySql versions. I have also disabled ImageMagick

Any help would be appreciated.

Redirecting when image page attempted

 * MediaWiki version: 1.12.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.0-8+etch10 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: 5.0.60-enterprise-gpl-log
 * URL: http://jigglypedie.tym.cz/wiki/index.php/Jigglypedie:Aktuality

We've got problems with image pages... If we click on any thumb or image, wiki redirects us to Main Page. You can try it on the added URL.

I cannot change my display picture because I uploaded a file that was too large now I cannot delete it

 * MediaWiki version: 1.14alpha
 * PHP version: 5.2.5 (apache)
 * MySQL version: 4.0.40-wikimedia-log
 * URL: http://svn.wikimedia.org/viewvc/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/?pathrev=43634

I have uploaded an image to my display picture on AMSN but now I when I try to change the display picture, because it is too large I cannot delete or change it. When I select the option 'Change my display picture' it takes such a long time to load because the file is so large, and then it only presents the options 'ok' and 'cancel', I cannot scroll down through any other images, I can only see the corner of the image I uploaded because the picture is so large I cannot view the whole thing. How can I delete my display picture.

How To Disable Image Clickability (Clickableness?)

 * MediaWiki version: MediaWiki 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.X-servage6 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL version: PHP MySQL 5.0.51a
 * URL: DishiWiki

I want to disable the ability to click on an image and go to its image description page. I just upgraded to 1.13.2 from 1.11.1. Before the upgrade, regularly inserted images appeared "iconic," with no hovering finger-pointer. Clicking the images did nothing (which is what I wanted).

I could have sworn that I had used a certain configuration setting from the Default Settings list to make that happen, but there is nothing in my old LocalSettings.php of that nature. I had explored 'all (I think) the image/linking extensions such as Extension:Click, Extension:Icon, etc., and although I installed one or two on 1.11.1 for testing, I did not actually use any of them or their syntax.

I distinctly remember reading somewhere the phrase: "Warning: This (function/extension) will cause all your images to be non-clickable" or something like that, and that is indeed what I wanted, what was working, and what I want again. For the life of me I can't turn up anything in searches. Can a kind soul point me again to how I probably accomplished that in 1.11.1? —Brian7632416 19:00, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

images not working at all suddenly
I am an architecture professor and not a php/web/wiki guru and so am really stuck. last year my architecture studio made a really great wiki with literally thousands of images on it. the wiki still works except that NONE of the images appear now. No thumbnails show up, just the image name, and when you try to bring that image up i get the following error message: Not Found The requested URL /images/Wikisplashbeach.jpg was not found on this server. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Its strange as the wiki worked one day and then the next day this happened and nothing had actually altered the wiki.

As I said, i dont know how to do much in terms of scripting so any help would be appreciated. —70.140.186.159 23:26, 21 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Enable $wgHashedUploadDirectory. —Emufarmers(T 07:40, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * ah, ha, that was uncommented but set to false. I commented it and while the images do not show, at least not when I dig down to the image page the image will appear. but it still does not appear in the wiki page itself. Now altering that setting does not seem to have any effect.

images not displaying

 * MediaWiki: 1.11.0
 * PHP: 5.2.5 (cgi)
 * MySQL: 5.0.51a-community-log
 * URL: www.wetwares.org

I somehow seem to have resolved the issue I posted above. I can dig down and get to the images. but they still do not display correctly in the page. If I upload a new image it works fine. Only older/existing images do not seem to display. Any suggestions?

Zu große Dateien "magick" werden abgelegt (German)

 * MediaWiki version: 1.10.1
 * PHP version: 5.2.6
 * MySQL version: 5.0.37
 * URL: http://www.wikiwaldhof.de

Hallo, habe ein Megagroßes Problem und mein Provider will mir sogar kündigen wenn ich dieses Problem nicht behebe. Habe eine MediaWiki-version 1.10.1 mit ca. 10.000 Seiten und 2.300 Bilder.

Mein Account wurde von goneo inzwischen schon bestimmt zum 20 mal gesperrt, weil übergroße Dateien im Temporären Verzeichnis /tmp (Linux) abgelegt werden.

So wie es ausschaut sind dies Dateien von ImageMagick

Beispiel: > -rw--- 1 12242f422 wheel 1.5G Oct 8 04:48 magick-IoHUlkZS > -rw--- 1 12242f422 wheel 1.5G Oct 8 04:47 magick-PqaESSJn ...

Ich weiß wirklich nicht wo diese herkommen und wie ich das Problem beseitigen kann. Hat jemand eine Idee für mich??? Kann ich zum Beispiel auch die neuste Version installieren so das meine Daten nicht verloren gehen? Es war ja schließlich sehr viel arbeit, die auch umfangreich genutzt wird.

Blank images not being handled correctly.

 * MediaWiki version: 1.13.2
 * PHP version: 5.2.5
 * MySQL version: 4.1.22-max-log
 * URL: http://www.recipesrealm.com/wiki

Hi, I have installed mediawiki to my site using my server's, Affilorama, auto-installation, but it is not handling image files as it should. I have made the "image folder" writable and set $wgEnableUploads = true; I have altered very little else so it should be working correctly. Images can be uploaded, but the blank frame which should appear if the named image does not exist is not. The blank frame which I refer to is the one which links to the upload screen with the message "No file by this name exists, you can upload it." I have tried many ways to resolve this issue and have just completed a re-installation.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks, Colin —89.242.245.151 13:01, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Add external images

 * MediaWiki 1.13.2
 * PHP 5.2.6 (cgi)
 * MySQL 5.0.67-log

I've been trying to add external images with a hyperlink to affiliates. I've yet to enable external linking, but uploaded the banner and added:



But for some reason, link= shows up in the title. I've checked wiki logs and such and tried others like click or click-url... i've tried adding the url in quotes but no luck.

Have i missed a setting?
