SID-01962: ImageGalleryPlugin and GraphicsMagick-1.1.11

Status:	Asked	TWiki version:	6.0.0	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryPlugins	Server OS:	Centos 6 VM	Last update:	5 years ago

I am upgrading my current TWiki-5.0.1, to TWiki-VM-6.0. I am trying to load the ImageGalleryPlugin and the ImagePlugin, both require GraphicsMagick-1.1.11. I have located the file GraphicsMagick-1.1.11.tar.gz and tried to install it, but it does come up with errors. I tried to install and run GraphicsMagick-1.3.13, it installs without errors, but I am not sure if I am installing it correctly. Either one doesn't seem to allow the "Find Extensions" and then choose the two plugins to install. The error that I get is...

### ImageGalleryPlugin Installer ### This installer must be run from the root directory of your TWiki installation. * You can abort the script at any point and re-run it later * If you answer 'no' to any questions you can always re-run the script again later ########################################################## Checking dependency on Graphics::Magick.... * ImageGalleryPlugin depends on cpan package Graphics::Magick >=1.1.11 which is described as "Required." But when I tried to find it I got this error:

Can't locate Graphics/Magick.pm

This module is available from the CPAN archive (http://www.cpan.org). You can download and install it from here. The module will be installed to wherever you configured CPAN to install to.

Installation finished.

Is there another way to install this or get around this? I really need to move forward on this project. This is the last plugins that I need to install and then I can move things over from the other site. Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Sincerely,

Lisa Letellier

Discussion and Answer

Try to install Graphics::Magick separately as root, see HowToInstallCpanModules.

Or you could try a native install on CentOS as documented at http://www.graphicsmagick.org/INSTALL-unix.html

I have been trying that, not sure if I am doing something wrong or not. I install it and then run the "Find Extensions" and then choose the two plugins to install. Both plugins stat that they are looking for Graphics::Magick 1.1.11. Does it have to be that version?

I have the same exact issue with the plugin ImageGalleryPlugin on TWiki 6.0 with CentOS 6.4

Will it be solved some day or do we must consider this plugin as outdated ?

-- Etienne Pallier - 2014-10-15

For more details about my comment above, here is what I did :

I install the GraphicsMagick lib with yum :

yum install GraphicsMagick.x86_64

yum install GraphicsMagick-perl.x86_64

(also, just in case, yum install ImageMagick-perl.x86_64)

all this installed ok... but

...the plugin still does not want to install from do/configure and section extensions...

(same errors as LisaLettelier above)

-- Etienne Pallier - 2014-10-15

You need to install all dependencies before installing the plugin.

You need to install CPAN:Image::Magick CPAN library as root. And before that, you need to install the Image::Magick system library as root.

Install the system library before you can install the CPAN library. See http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!

Hi all, I have tried installing this plug-in but the dependencies fail because Graphics Magick is not available as a CPAN. I did run through the https://imagemagick.org/index.php install instead, but the plugin installer still throws errors and when enabled and tested on a page the error I see is:

<verbatim> Error: Exception 420: no decode delegate for this image format `PNG' @ error/constitute.c/ReadImage/562 </verbatim>

I feel like I must be missing a config somewhere to tell the plugin to use imagemagick as opposed to Graphics Magick. This may be the wrong assumption. Any ideas to help get this running would be appreciated. The plugin is great for photo sharing on an internal Intranet.

Thank you.

BTW, I can see the core.pm file has the following code:

# Graphics::Magick is less buggy than Image::Magick my $impl = $TWiki::cfg{ImageGalleryPlugin}{Impl} || $TWiki::cfg{ImagePlugin}{Impl} || 'Image::Magick';

So I presume the plugin is already setup to use Image::Magick ?

I am not familiar with this plugin. Please report here for others if you find a workable solutions.
