Integrating automatic image resizing

[Martian]

I don't like the image scroll bars.

I fixed this by simply applying "max-width: 100%" to the images, so large images get scaled by the browser to fit in the post field. A simple and elegant solution.

Mostly the image is still large enough, but if I want to view the full-size I need to right-click the image and choose to view the image.

I test code in the ticket and is perfect, please add this also on 3.0.12

Code: Select all

    img {
       border-width: 0;
       max-width: 100%;
    }

ReImage w/highslide in the core would be neat...

in that case the images not really resized. only smaller displayed. no good solution and a bad fact

That is the whole idea, display smaller images and allow users to see the full size by clicking on it. That's very good.

If you mean that we won't take that remote image, store it locally, and show a thumbnail instead then no that will not be happening. The idea of linking to external images is so that there is no storage hit on the server, which is especially important for those on shared hosting.

I thought he wanted to take a large uploaded image and permanently resize it as a smaller image to save space. I don't care for that option either.

I've actually seen both requests before for ReIMG and both have their issues. The one about storing images on the server I already mentioned plus if the image should be stored locally then it should be up to the user to use the uploads feature, if it's enabled for that forum. The one you've mentioned, resizing on upload, also has it's drawbacks. For starters if we resize the image then what do we resize it to without distorting the image? It might also only be possible with ImageMagick, which might not be available on all servers especially Windows servers. If this is what is being suggested then this would be a separate feature anyways as it would be dealing with the uploads mechanism which is not really what is being discussed here.
