Image Resizing and Thumbnails

Hey JayTheHam! This is something that's bothered me for a long time, but do you know why image resizing and thumbnailing has been disabled on this wiki? Any time an image is thumbnailed or resized, it comes up with this message instead of the image:

Do you know or have any idea why this has been disabled? Or is this a feature that hasn't been installed? Thanks, Zafum 05:25, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

It's not disabled, it hasn't been enabled. The reason being - to enable it you have to install an image processor thingie [[1]] and I have no idea how to do that, honestly, I'm surprised I even managed to get the wiki working! Otherwise I would enable it. Zcwikiadmin 07:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Shorter URL's

Well I know this would be talked about sometime but is it possible for you to change the wiki to use short URL's? This makes the pages ALOT more friendly for robots like google and the URL's look alot more neater. (Although I guess it depends if your host supports .htaccess) IE: Current - www.jaytheham.com/zcw/index.php5?title=User_talk:Zcwikiadmin Shorter - www.jaytheham.com/zcw/User_talk:Zcwikiadmin

As you can see it looks alot more cleaner and better. Of course this is only if you have time and are able to do it. I can provide links to tutorial if needed. death99 19:31, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Yes, link me this tutorial, I'm happy to do this if I can. Zcwikiadmin 04:57, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for responding! Here is the tutorial: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/wiki/Page_title_--_no_root_access

Also note that you may or may not have to change your directory. And it might be best to make a backup just in case! (If this doesn't help then I'll make my own tutorial, I've done this over 15 some times now.) death99 19:23, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
