Auto resize for non admin users?
« on: July 25, 2002, 03:53:54 PM »
Hi Jan  & Nicky,

first of all my compliments for staying so polite when too many posters are just simply demanding support for their problems...

If I were you, I would have ingored many posts..

Anyway, what I would like to ask or suggest is:
When somebody uploads a picture larger than my max size (650 wide, so it won't ruin my 800 wide tabled site) they wil get an error message saying it's too large.

Is there a way these pictures can be resized to the max size automatically (only if they are too large, not enlargen the pics if they are smaller)?

If you upload a picture as an admin you do not have the size restrictions and you can resize the image afterwards, but I would like to do it automatically. (see http://summitpost.com for an example of how this coul look like. These guys wrote their own code as well)

One other option would be to allow every size picture and be able to resize them when validating.

I welcome your thoughts,
thanks in advance,
best regards,

Harry

But bear in mind that if the max file size should be taken into account, so that a 'wider' image is accepted as long as the size is within the limit.
