Frequently asked Questions

• Where can I get component X?
• Check the list at the bottom of this page for info on the different components.
• Which upload component should I use?
• Depends on your situation. If you are running your own server and really want to be able to upload stuff fast then I would suggest ASPUpload. The bad thing about it is that a single server license costs $149 :/. CrazyBeavers Upload is a free component but it lacks the speed of ASPUpload as shown in this example. It also have a limitation of 200megs/file or something. This shouldn't be any problems for a image gallery though :). If you don't have access to install stuff on your server then Juicy Studio Script Upload is the thing for you. The problem is that it is quite slow but it has been improved alot in version 5.2a. I don't suggest uploading more then max 10mb at a time using it. Yet again, it don't have to have any installed components so it will run perfectly on any IIS server.
• Why did you write the sucky Image Resizer? ASPJpeg kicks it's butt!
• ASPJpeg is a commercial component that needs to be registered if you want to use it for more then 30 days. It also require that someone installs the component on the webserver which might be very difficult if you are not hosting the server yourself. The Imager Resizer just needs a dir with "Scripts and Executables" permission which most cgi-bin dirs have.
• I have Imager Resizer installed on www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/Imager.dll. Why won't Imager Gallery show my thumbnails on www.myothersite.com?
• Even though you have to specify the full path to the Resizer you still have to have it on the same server since it accesses the harddrive directly and not via an http request.
• When I try to test Imager Resizer it says "Unsupported file type. Avaible types are JPG, GIF and PNG".
• A minor problem. The querystring is case sensitive so Imager.dll?test=true won't do. This would though: Imager.dll?Test=True.
• I've just installed the script and when I go to default.asp/Imager.asp I get an error (Include file not found: __settings/mainsettings.asp).
• You haven't read the installation instructions good enough. You have to load setup.asp first so it gets a chance to create those files for you. This problem has hopefully been solved in Imager Gallery 5.3.
• This shit is buggy as hell!
• Thats not a question but anyway. The thing is that I don't have any dedicated testers for the script. All testing is done by me while coding and it have happened at several occations that quite severe bugs come through my testing. If you find a bug, please report it so I can fix it or it might take ages before I spot it.
• Can you add feature x?
• Maybe. Contact me and tell about your idea and i will consider it.
• Can I help you write the script?
• No.
• Can I help you in any other way?
• Yes! You could donate me some money (not likely uh? :) or you could head over to Aspin.com or HotScripts and write a small review or vote for the script. I love publicity and thats the main reason that I'm creating this script.

This is an ongoing list. It will be updated when i find something to udpate it with.
