[Pro] animated gif at webYep

Hello. Is it possible to upload an animated gif to a WebYep image item?

I tried, but for me it doesnt work. It uploads the image, but on the web, you only see the first frame, not the animation.

Thanks.

That’s gonna be because the WY uploader is converting the uploaded image, possibly while resizing it. Max might be able to tell you how to upload “pass-through”. I’m not an expert in that system, just a long-time image-mangler in PHP, so I recognize the symptom.

There’s another possible explanation here – security. Many image upload systems are used to compromise their host server, by a hacker who maliciously uploads a script rather than a real image. The hacker then tricks the system into executing that uploaded image, and the rest is tears.

Clever upload systems run any uploaded file through the GD or ImageMagick image-manipulation system, which guarantees that the result is JPEG or whatever, utterly mangling any script file uploaded with a .gif file-type extension in the process. If all uploads are force-mapped over to JPEG, that would do what you’re describing, too.

Hola Rakel

If you look at your webyep image palette and set the SCALE IMAGE drop-downs to: Do not scale width and Do not scale height and finally set the thumbnail to false

these setting should mean the uploaded gif animation will not be scaled and re-saved but left in its original format
