Can't upload .gif extensions
« on: March 18, 2004, 03:33:21 am »
I get the error "When using the GD image library allowed image types are only JPEG and PNG" when trying to upload a GIF file.

Config Settings:
Accepted file extensions for uploaded pictures: GIF/PNG/JPG/JPEG/TIF/TIFF
Method for resizing images: GD Version 2
New Install

Does anyone know how to correct this?

Thanks,
Phil

GD does not support GIFs. (only JPEG and PNG) You must use Image Magick if you want them.

This is in the documentation.

No, it only supports gif read, not gif write.
This is due to copyright issues, which should hopefully be finished soon.

I thought you said that Gd wouldn't 'do' gif?

But I suspect most webhosts won't be as quick to change.

Well, mine suports it, and so do others, there should be an option to turn gif support on for those that do.
