With a small modification. Here an example to change the 300% option to 400%.

Open cadmin/mod_admin.php and find:

($configs[13] == "2") ? $option = "<option selected value="2">- 200%</option><option value="3">- 300%</option>" : $option = "<option value="2">- 200%</option><option selected value="3">- 300%</option>";

Replace this line with:

($configs[13] == "2") ? $option = "<option selected value="2">- 200%</option><option value="4">- 400%</option>" : $option = "<option value="2">- 200%</option><option selected value="4">- 400%</option>";

Well it works now. I chmodded each thumbs folder again and the thumbs are created. Thank you for your help Philipp.

Is there any way to make the thumbs even smaller than the maximum 300%?

Here a script to check the permissions of the thumbs directories:

<?php


echo "Checking permissions:<br>";

$dirs = array("news", "faq", "review", "downloads");
foreach ($dirs as $dir)
{
$file = @fopen("images/$dir/thumbs/test.txt", "w") or die ("Error: Can not write to images/$dir/thumbs/ directory.");
fputs ($file, "This is a test. You can remove this file again.");
fclose ($file);
echo "Wrote images/$dir/thumbs/test.txt<br />";
}

?>

Place this script in your Storyteller main directory and run it from your browser. This script will try to write a test file (test.txt) in each thumbs directory.

I created the directories because they weren't present and chmodded them 777 but when I add pictures the thumbs still aren't being created.

The thumbs folders are located inside of the news, faq, review, and download image folders:

/images/news/thumbs
/images/faq/thumbs
/images/review/thumbs
/images/downloads/thumbs

I don't have a thumbs folder. I chmodded the whole images folder with the recursive option and they still aren't being created.

Where should the thumbs folder be?

No, thumbnails should work with your GD version. Perhaps a permission problem? Please try to chmod 777 the thumbs folders.

I tried the work-around but it didn't help. Thumbs still aren't being created. The links to the full image work fine though. Any other things I could try? Do I need to have anything other than gd/2 installed like Image Magick?

This is pasted from my current PHP config:

PHP Version 4.3.10

gd
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled

The thumbnail function is using GD2 to resize the images on configurations with newer PHP versions.

A workaround to make it GD1 compatible is the following change in thumb.php.

Find:

        $thumb = imagecreatetruecolor($width, $height); 

and replace with:

        $thumb = imagecreate($width, $height); 

However, I highly recommended that you upgrade to GD 2 after this version have a much better image quality
