Tidypics +writes warnings for most upload related problems. You will see something +along these lines: "Tidypics warning: user exceeded post limit on image upload" + + + +GD: Elgg requires GD for image resizing. Tidypics uses GD by default for +resizing. There are two versions GD and GD2. It generally does not matter +which one you are using and it isn't always apparent which one you are +running anyways. + +ImageMagick: A significantly better image library than GD. It uses less +memory during resizing. Use this if it is available. + +Memory Available to PHP: The amount of RAM available to a single PHP +process. This can have an effect on how large an image you can resize +(especially if you are running Tidypics with GD). The best place to +change it is .htaccess. + +Memory Used to Load This Page: This gives you a baseline of how much +memory is being used to load the Elgg framework and plugins. + +Max File Upload Size: The largest file that can be uploaded. You can +adjust this in .htaccess. + +Max Post Size: The largest amount of data that can be submitted. For +Tidypics, this affects how many large images can be uploaded in a +single upload. If this is exceeded, nothing is uploaded and the +user gets an error message. It can be adjusted in .htaccess. + +Max Input Time: This is the amount of time PHP will wait for an +upload to finish. Your users may experience failures if they are +uploading large images on a poor connection or if your server +does not have a lot of bandwidth. + +Max Execution Time: The longest time a PHP script can run on your +server. If a user uploads many large images, the resize code may take +a long time to complete and will be stopped by PHP. If you are seeing +problems with this, you probably have a slow server. + +GD imagejpeg: jpeg resizing with GD + +GD imagegif: gif resizing with GD + +GD imagepng: png resizing with GD \ No newline at end of file -- cgit v1.2.3
