I have successfully downloaded the Simple Image Gallery Slimbox mambot plugin from JoolaWorks and installed it to my site which is using a Trooper template. I can add a gallery sucessfully but when I load the page I get red x's in my thumbnails.

Troubleshoot notes to mambot indicate this is a possible problem and says the following:

Thumbnails do not show up (user sees red X's - in IE). If this is the case, the problem is due to wrongly enforced file permissions from your server (the file showthumb.php should be writable - 755 or 777). Or your server is missing the GD Image Library. Either way, ask your hosting company to fix this.

I have full rights access to my server and am looking for more information on what I need to fix. Server is running IIS and my user account and the guest account both have rights to the image folder location all the way back down to the root. What does this showthumb.php 755 or 777 mean? And what is this GD image library?

Gallery does launch the pages. (See www.steveonline.ca/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1) It just does not show the thumbnials.

All suggestions welcome.

Hi there!!!

Well, as you say, you use IIS server to run your site.
This mambot need the GD library to make the thumbnails of the original images.

If i'm remember right, there are a "server module" for IIS that is installed and used from the IIS server to make use of this library.

As you can see, if you go to the linkwill see that browser respondthat means there are no installed the "GD library" module to your IIS server.

Better contact your server adminstrator to tell him to install this IIS server module!
