@abhijeet: This is not the correct place to ask coppermine questions. You should post you question in forum not the blog.

There is no such core feature but shopping cart mods are available to sell photos. Please search the support board and you will find a few shopping cart mods to sell your photos.

I am looking to sell photos as part of my travel website. Would Coppermine have features to support this ?

afaik output compression doesn’t work well with output buffering being used by PHP scripts. But that’s what Coppermine does frequently (even nested output buffering) and that’s imo the culprit. However, the blog’s comment section is not the right place to discuss individual issues, as there is no support provided here. And this IS an individual issue imo. As Aditya suggested, output compression works best for completely static stuff like CSS and JS files. There is comparatively small benefit for dynamically created files, and there’s absolutely no caching effects if you have any random content enabled.
I strongly suggest to continue this discussion on the support board, as your questions are not generally discussing output compression nor the htaccess technology that this blog posting is about. What you request is help with the reduction of your gallery’s index page output if I understand this right. If you already have output compression working elsewhere, this article was not meant for you, as you then are already aware about the underlying technology.

“The new version 1.5 is coming and a new era of Coppermine would start very soon!”

But when?

@twist3r: I will recommend checking your site with YSlow for compression. It will tell you exactly which files are not gzipped.

Also, here we are mainly dealing with gzipping CSS and JS files and caching images to make them load faster next time.

Finally, a link to your site would have been helpful.

I understand that on a images gallery gzip is not so important, but let’s take the fact that my index page is almost 156KB size and with first level of compression it will be 10,522 KB (not sure if it’s true, I just made a test).

So for me it’s pretty important. I just don’t understand why on others pages for my website it works, but for coppermine index page doesen’t.

Still, thanks for reply.

@twist3r: Few threads on coppermine forum mention that gzip does not help much in case of image galleries. However now a days galleries tend to be bigger with lots of photos. In such cases the html code increases and using compression will help.

Coppermine does not control gzip compression nor does it affect the compression behavior. So if it is not working on your server then the root issue might be something else.

You are good enough if other things like Expire headers are working on your site.
