This only affects GD2 users
I didnt find the "troubleshooting" forum so i thought i'd post it here... sorry if i'm wrong.
somehow the "rotate image" did not really work in my 2.1 version downloaded last week. so I looked at the code..
the rotation is done by following in GD2:
$tempimage = @imagerotate($tempimage, $angle, '#000000');
in php 5.20 it somehow flips the pic by 90 degres and only sqeezes the content without rotating (tried several times)
so i looked up in php.net and found following:
resource imagerotate ( resource source_image, float angle, int bgd_color [, int ignore_transparent] )
as for what i know.. the background color i a int and not a string.. so the code should be:
$tempimage = @imagerotate($tempimage, $angle, 0);
i tried that.. and... it started working.. ( i do not know if in former editions of php it used to be a hex string.. but in 5.20 and 5.21 it definetly is an
int.
so to fix: open forum/includes/functions_gallery_imageedit.php
find:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
and replace with:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
at least it worked for me

thoughts: Make rotate image to
rotate clockwise
A little confusing for users (and for myself)
the default direction of imageRotate() is counter clockwise.
On php.net I found a little code snippet that solves the problem and sets the rotation direction to clockwise:
after having applied the fix above, find in forum/includes/functions_gallery_imageedit.php
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
and replace with:
Code:
Content visible to verified customers only.
hope this helps
