Is it possible to make Flexinode use GD or the standard image functions in PHP?

My host doesn't have Imagemagick, and I want it to create thumbnails.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mr Maggoo

p.s. I'm using Drupal and flexinode 4.5.1

Hi... Maggoo

I have modified flexinode to use GD library.

If you want I could send you the field_image.inc file. I'm going to improve my own field_image.inc version but I'm only a beginner in Drupal.

I'm in doubt about many classes and functions of Drupal's core and Flexinode.

For example, I would like to save the original image in database as I save thumbnail's image. This will be the next change.

Best Regards

Why do you want to save the image in the database? Over time that will probably show up as a serious performance hit.

I don't... the GD libary is another way of manipulating images

I understand that,

I would like to save the original image in database as I save thumbnail's image.

The phrasing confused me.

It's people like you that make Drupal so great, I'm still fumbling through my first Drupal site, but I love the community here.
