Storing images in file system (no DB)

[dmbooth0310]

I went to the maintenence section and attempted changing the file storage methods for images in the gallery. When I click an image, it still gives the dynamic link (http://www.thecamelnet.com/forum/gal...php?imageid=12) but when right clicking thumbnails it actually links to a file...

What's the problem here?

The pictures are NEVER stored in the db...
The changing of the storage method only affects the path...
ie:
changing the storage method will just change the place where your thumbnails and pictures are stored...
instead of

http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/gal...les/1/this.jpg
(1 will be the userid of the poster)
it will stored to
http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/gallery/files/this.jpg

thats all...
this is used because the system will create the directory (1 for userid 1) But if safe mode is enabled it cannot create a directory so all pics will be stored in the same directory.


the displayimage.php?id=12 meens that you are using a non permanent watermark.. for that picture..

goto settings and make sure there is no path to any watermark file...

but beware.. there is the general setting and the setting for the category...
and for the usergroup.. make sure they are all empty..
