ImageManager: show Image without GD-Library

my server does not have installed the phpgd-library in php (and no chance to change this, because it is a server from our school-administration in germany) .

So I see only the file-name of a picture. In the old htmlarea-Editor the original picture was shown without generating any thumbnail on the fly in php (only resizing the image in the browser).
It is possible to make this "old" feature again availible ( e.g. with a configuration switch )

with kind regards

Re: ImageManager: show Image without GD-Library

ImageManager can also use ImageMagick.  See the config.php

/**
* Image Library to use.
*
* Possible values: 'GD', 'IM', or 'NetPBM'
*
* The image manipulation library to use, either GD or ImageMagick or NetPBM.
* If you have safe mode ON, or don't have the binaries to other packages, 
* your choice is 'GD' only. Other packages require Safe Mode to be off.
*
* DEFAULT: GD is probably the most likely to be available. 
*/

$IMConfig['IMAGE_CLASS'] = 'GD';

Re: ImageManager: show Image without GD-Library

thank you for the answer, but it is clear how to config the different types of image manipulation libraries.
But I try to work _without_  _any_ image manipulation library. Is this possible  - and to point to my first posting: In this case I want to see the orignal image - resized  by the browser - ( I know this could be a problem with large images) and not only a link to the image.

with kind regards

Re: ImageManager: show Image without GD-Library

Hi,

I have the same problem. I don't want that ImageManager store extra thumbnails in image folder. If I leave the variable $IMConfig['IMAGE_CLASS'] blank no files where stored but also no pictures were shown.
Is there a solution for it?

best regards
Christian
