Joomla is a powerful Content Management System (CMS) written in PHP. I just installed Joomla 1.5.6. If you are trying to install the famous Joomla plugin called “Simple Image Gallery” and receive the following message when viewing your gallery:
Notice: Undefined variable: gd_support in /…/…/plugins/content/jwsig.php on line 83
Solution:
At line 75 of jwsig.php just change the
if(function_exists("gd_info")) {
to
if(!function_exists("gd_info")) {

Hi Jessica,
Yeah. Initially I am using Joomla as well. That time it is still 1.5 beta. After that I read some good review on WordPress so I switched to it. Recently doing part time on another project and start using back Joomla. It is good as it supports more features other than blogging.

Hi Waco,
Yeah, I prefer WordPress for blogging and Joomla for a normal website. Afterall, Joomla is a CMS (Content Management System).
What Joomla project are you working on at the moment? Can share? :=)

Hi Jessica,
This is the project I am doing on:
http://www.penangmarina.com
It is a postgraduate course project to provide better online marketing compared to current website:
http://www.tgctmarina.com.my
It is a public marina in Penang. Came out the Joomla website in rush and had presented it this Wed so most probably it will be abandoned…. hahaha…

Or you could just change line 83 from
> if(count($gd_support)) {
to
> if(count($gdsupport)) {
since the underscore is obviously a typo on the author’s part. ;)
Happy Joom!ing!
