Hi Genusstaucher,

Can you copy here your local config?

On you Piwigo administration home, can you tell us which graphic library you use?

Activate plugin LocalFiles Editor, then go on [Administration > Plugins > LocalFiles Editor > local config]

OK, you have no local config. In the field, you need this:

<?php
$conf['file_ext'] = array_merge(
  $conf['picture_ext'],
  array('pdf')
  );

$conf['upload_form_all_types'] = true;
?>

I've done it ;)
The upload function was perfekt, but the view on the gallery gives this kind of failures:

Warning: include(./include/category_default.inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/web940/html/fotos/piwigo/index.php on line 323

Hmmm, I think, there is no possibilty to construct a virtuel database with other file formats then pictures (jpg, tiff, png...). Am I wrong?

OK :) Meanwhile I installed a fresh and new piwigo and I updated my photos. So far so good.

With the plugin File Uploader I am able to upload pdf files into a physical album. What I need now is following:

1) the pdf files don't have a thumbnail. I created a few jpg for these pdfs, but I am not able to put it "together", if you know, what I mean. I'm not able to set the jpeg as a thumbnail for the pdf.

2) The guests on my website aren't able to download the pdf files, because they don't see them.

3) for 1) and 2) it is the same for avi / flv / videos. The guests are not able to a) download or better b) view directly.

Are there any solutions?

Piwigo latest
http://www.jmweb.de/piwigo/index.php?/category/3  for the "pdf's" (in the moment there is no pdf only multiple png pages) I try to get a testsetting of piwigi with wamp-server on my local computer to test some ideas...
