Title: Cannot add images under "Additional data"
Post by: schmatzler on 13.02.2022 14:28:23
It's been a while since I've added new files to my website. Usually when I wanted previews for a download, I just added those images to "Add an image" under "Additional data".

These images don't seem to get saved on the latest version anymore. When I add one, I can see the path "C:\fakepath\image_name.jpg" in there, after saving it's gone and there are no images. That definitely worked in the past, some of my downloads have images there.

Other fields - like the preview file - work fine.

Found the problem. php-gd was missing on the server, I only had imagick installed.

Not that great that JDownloads just silently fails, but oh well. :)

Hi
Thanks for input.  At least jD does tell you if the GD library is present in Options - Pictures and Buttons tab  -Thumbnail Settings from Uploaded Images section. :)
Incidentally are you using PHP8?
I will add a suggestion that when creating/editting a Download and adding an image that advice is given that GD llibrary is not present so thumbnails cannot be made
