GIS Imagesystem

Gussoh Imagesystem is a PHP-based script that automatically makes thumbnails of image files, for viewing on the web, using the PHP-GD extension or imagemagick. GIS Uses PHP 4 or 5, GD 1.x or 2.x or Imagemagick shell binarys. It is written and maintained primarily by Gustav "Gussoh" Sohtell.
 
The latest non-developer version is 2.2.

Latest news

13 September 2007
I had, for some reason written a die('Hello') in the nightly build, and it, for some reason it didn't work after that. Today I decided to fix this. While doing this I also decided to release 2.2.

Hi! The support and development forum is located at: gis.tripax.de. Big thanks to Satras! I don't really know how many there are still using GIS. I hope the board at least gets a few posts.
 
22 July 2007
Hi again! Rumor has it that GIS 3 is in stages of planning. I'll try to gather up some idÊas of what new things should be developed and what features that shouldn't.
Rumor also has it that there will be a new support and development forum up in a few days. Im looking for a new graphical layout of GIS, even though the old one is very nice :). Perhaps some kind of skin support with GIS as default generating XML?
 
5 December 2006
I've made some more buggfixes. The most important one is a fix of the upload function. They're all in the latest nightly http://bilder.sohtell.se/index.txt
The forum has been closed for a while. I couldn't get rid of all the spam. There were just too much! It's really sad you cannot use a public forum on the Internet any more without spending hours keeping it clean :-(
 
20 January 2006
Hello! :) I made some buggfixes. Version 2.12 is released! Changelog here.
There is also a new buggfixed version of GoogleModule!
 
20 July 2005
Many people had problems with Internal Server Error due to the .htaccess file that was automatically written. Therefore I now set it to false by default and wrote a new setting called write index.php instead. Now, instead of write:ing a .htaccess, GIS writes an index.php containing die("Not Allowed") in every .gis-folder!
This should work on all servers with no "Internal Server Errors".
 
20 July 2005
2.1 Released, new things among other:
Full changelog can be found here. The release can be downloaded on the download page.
I didn't want to wait for the GIS Admin System since the address of this page has been changed and people were still downloading the old version with the faulty address.
 
18 July 2005
I've been working on the 2.1-version for some time now. Most things are done. If you would like to try the new version you can get it here.
My domain, gussoh.com, has been stolen by Internet pirates! Now I use my family-domain sohtell.se instead. GIS is located at gis.sohtell.se.
You should also expect a release of an GIS admin-system together with the 2.1-release. Ramza is main developer on the admin project.
 
16 February 2005
Still working on 2.1-version. The forum has been down for a few days now. Fredrik has got some problem with the server and he is also doing military service.. ;) It'll probably be up latest next week.
 
7 January 2005
Found some minor bugs regarding special characters in folder names, they are corrected in the developer version and also in the Google module.
If you like you can always download the latest "nightly build" from http://bilder.sohtell.se/index.txt
 

To use GIS you need:

A webbserver, for example Apache.
A PHP 4 or 5-parser with the GD-extension linked to your webbserver OR php must be able to use the program convert from the imagemagick suite with system()-function.
And GIS... GIS download page

HOWTOs

Got problem with gis2 saying "cannot write to .gis directory"?
 This is probably a permission problem. You must let the web server write to the folder. Try
#chgrp -R apache Gallery/  if your web server user is apache - could be www-data or nobody. "Gallery/" is the foldername for your gallery. This can be replaced by something like /var/www/Gallery/
#chmod 2775 Gallery/

 
Howto for GIS 2 in Swedish by anonymous
General HOWTO for gis1 by Tobias "Fisk" Sjödin
A Windows howto for gis1!
Do you think you could write a howto or a README file? The permission part is difficult *hint*
Please write one and send it to me at gustav ( at ) sohtell.se!
