Frequently asked Questions

• Where can I get component X?
• Check the list at the bottom of this page for info on the different components.
• Can you add support for component X?
• I wouldn't be surprised if I could. Head over to http://www.crazybeavers.se/contact.asp and send me a notice and include a link to where I can download the component and/or it's documentation and I'll see what I can do.
• Which upload component should I use?
• Depends on what you need. CrazyBeavers Upload is quite fast and free. ASPUpload is really fast but expensive. Juicy Studio Script Upload is quite slow but runs without any extra components. Check the list at the bottom of this page for info on the different components.
• Why isn't JUpload bundled with the script when you have support for it?
• Since JUpload only is free for personal use I thought it better to leave the file at it's own site. It is really great though so I really think you should use it if you want to upload files via http. You can get it from http://jupload.biz/.
• I've downloaded JUpload, but where do I put the files?
• Put jupload.jar into the __settings folder and it should work fine.
• 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. Imager Resizer just needs a folder with "Scripts and Executables" permission which most cgi-bin folders seem to 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 Imager 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. In Imager Resizer 2.1 and later this should be Imager.dll/test instead.
• I've translated Imager Gallery languagefiles into language X. Would you like to distribute it with the script?
• Like to? I would love to! Head over to http://www.crazybeavers.se/contact.asp and send me a notice. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Of course, you would be credited in the documentation for your work.
• 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.
• Where should I put manually created thumbnails?
• In a folder called __thumbs that should be located in the same folder as the original image. The thumbnail should have the same name as the original file also.
• When I try to login to setup.asp for the first time it seems like the script hangs, what is wrong?
• This can be caused by having a scriptblocker installed (Norton Antivirus for example). Imager Gallery will try to modify one of it's files on the harddrive but the scriptblocker will see this as bad and just stop the operation without aborting it. Disable the scriptblocker and it should work.
• 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 myself.
• 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 update it with.
