to beat the server timeout, you have two choices...
*Increase the max_execution_time using ini_set() if you have safe mode off
*or reduce the number of images that are being processed.
to reduce the number of images that are being processed per run, do this:
find the function inm_generateStatic() in admin/index.php.
then find the following lines near the end of the function (line 882ish):
Text Formatted Code
if ($t >= 300){
break 2;
}
if ($i >= 200){
break 2;
}
change the 300 to 99 (33 images made into 99 thumbs) and change the 200 to 100 (100 scaled images) depending on which is giving you the trouble. mess around with the numbers. subsequent runs will pick up where the last left off.
hmm.. you could probably put set_time_limit(n) into the beginning of the function and that would add n seconds to the allowable time the script has to run.. I've never done that though. Maybe I should, let me know how it goes.
keep in mind, though static images no longer have to be resized, they still have to be read into the page, so it still isn't going to be as fast as if the images were static and simply linked to in a public dir. That is one of the fallbacks of this script (for those concerned with speed over security).
