Phoca Forum

Hi
With Joomla 3.10.12 + PhocaGalery 4.4.3 I can't generate thumbnails anymore.
I can upload the image. The FTP shows me that the image is correctly saved on /httpdocs/images/phocagallery but there is no news thubnail in /httpdocs/images/phocagallery/thumbs

There is no error message

We use PHP 7.4.33 with memory_limit set to 1G

What would I forget please?
thanks

Hi,
check if 'Enable Thumbnails Generation' parameter is set to 'Yes' in: backend --> Components --> Phoca Gallery --> Control Panel --> Options --> Thumbnails Generation Settings --> Thumbnails

Kind regards,
Benno

Thanks
When this setting is ON I get the error :
Error - thumbnail of one or more images could not be created. It was probably caused by a lack of memory (the server does not have enough memory or the image is too large). Go to Options and disable Thumbnails Generation. Remove images which are too large from your server and try to enable Thumbnails Generation again. Get more information about this issue on Phoca documentation site.

However we use PHP 7.4.33 with memory_limit set to 1G <- is that not enough ??

What would I forget please?
thanks

Hi,

1G is too high. Normally: 128MB or default usually 256MB.

I'm guessing that you want to take a lot of pictures at once (thumbs generation).

Backend setting:
Options > Thumbnail > Pagination Thumbnails Generation > Yes. Plus what Benno described.

Upload images by category - not all at once!
So: Images > Select category > Multiple Add ...

Why do you still have PHP 7.4? (not supported)
You should remember to migrate to Joomla 4 and of course the gallery.

Kind regards

Hi,

..or the image is too large

Additionally: Check the size of your images, because:
