Broken .jpg uploads?

Broken .jpg uploads? was created by pfletcher
Hi

I wonder if you could help me. I am having trouble uplading .jpg’s to my site and was getting ‘not valid file’. I then updated Joomla! to the latest release and although it lets me upload .jpg’s they appear broken with no preview in the folder they are uploaded to?

After trawling google for answers I found that it might be a conflict with ImageMagik and CB? In my php information it says it imagik is installed v 3.0.1 and enabled but in CB it says it isn’t installed but using GD2 Library as the Image Software – there is no other option in the dropdown list. Is there a way to force CB to find/use iMagik?

Also, when a user tries to upload their profile image - which is a jpg it says 'Error: image format is not supported.'???

I am pretty new to this but it has let me upload images before I installed CB?

Any info to get me round this will be much appreciated

Thanks

Paul

Are you sure the image is prefixed as .jpg? I just tested .jpg and .jpeg with both working successfully. You can adjust the path to wherever your imagemagick library with the "Path to ImageMagick" parameter in CB > Configuration > Images.

If you're having problems with uploading through Joomla using Content > Media Manager then chances are your issue has nothing to do with CB, but more to do with your server or folder permissions. GD works fine for .jpg as well so using imagemagick won't matter; the only benefit you get from using imagemagick is animated GIF images and transparent PNGs.
