NCODE IMAGE RESIZER FOR VBULLETIN 3.6.0
version: 1.0.1

I. What does it do
This plugin enables you to automatically resize every user-posted image which is larger than given dimensions. Users can choose the maximum dimensions and the resize method to use.
The resize methods are:
- No resizing
- Enlargement in the same document
- Enlargement in the same window (replacing the forum thread document)
- Enlargement in a new window

It also adds an information bar (which is not displayed when the image is too small) giving information about the original dimensions and filesize. Filesize is only supported on Internet Explorer, other browsers don't reveal this information through javascript.

II. What does it not do
- It does not do server side resizing of images. Everything is done clientside
- It does not prevent long loading times. The images have to be downloaded completely by the client before the script can resize them.

III. Installation / Upgrade
1. Upload "ncode_imageresizer.js" to the clientscript directory in your vBulletin installation.
2. Import "product-ncode_imageresizer.xml" in your vBulletin forum. Enter your AdminCP and go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products. Click on [Add/Import Product] and refer to the XML file.
The installation script will detect which database modifications have to be performed and will display the query that is going to perform these modifications.
If something fails, execute that query yourself.
3. The file "vbulletin-language-nl.xml" can be used to import dutch versions of the used phrases. Import it in your language manager and overwrite the installed language "Nederlands". It will not remove any phrases, just add new ones.

The installation adds a couple of settings, phrases, templates and plugins, all of which are easily recognizable. It also adds the fields `ncode_imageresizer_mode`, `ncode_imageresizer_maxwidth` and `ncode_imageresizer_maxheight` to your `user` table, in which the resizesettings are saved. These fields are removed when the plugin is removed.

IV. Configuration
Administrators can change the maximum dimensions and resize mode in the options window. These values will be the default for users without a setting of their own and anonymous users.
The installation script creates a new option group called "nCode Image Resizer Options" in which you can enter these values.
As said in section I, users can edit their preference in their User Control Panel at the Options page in the "Thread Display Options" section. The administrator can however limit the options the user can set. The administrator can choose between letting the user change all options, no options at all, only the resize mode, or all options except that the maximum dimensions can't exceed the default dimensions.

As Tralala said, it's probably the dynamic images setting, not a problem with the mod.

You're also using an older version of the hack. For troubleshooting's sake, you may want to update to the latest.

Perhaps, but let's not go down that road... that's no reason to not expect this mod to work with full compatibility with all browsers. After all, there's a helluva lot more people using IE 6 then there are, say, Safari...

[Fred.]

Installed the lastest version.
Seems te be ok now with the default style, with my cobalt style the paga is huge.

it's working fine now, now can i try to solve the style problem.

[project-Buckfas]

can images to b resized be set to certain forums ids? Thiw would be idea for my frontpage news images

[RedGTiVR6]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before...and if it's a setting somewhere that I'm not seeing.

Is there a way to have uploaded pictures automatically be public instead of private?

(Reason I ask is, I couldn't recreate the problem.)

I tested the %20 thing over here on my Mac, with Safari, and vBulletin 3.6.4. Also tested Camino and Firefox 2.

Seems to me like images that have %20 in the name don't load in browser pages, period, even if you remove vBulletin from the equation. So let's assume we are talking about images that actually have a SPACE in the name (which as we know, sometimes translates in the associated URL to a %20.)


With an image called (and typed into the vBulletin post within IMG tags as) "play ground.JPG" (with a space) it displayed fine and Image Resizer worked normally.

With the same URL typed into the post as "play%20ground.JPG," the picture did not display, all I saw was the link/URL.

But that's because I had Allow Dynamic URL for [IMG] Tags turned OFF in my AdminCP. With it ON, both versions displayed properly, with Image Resizer in effect.

So it seems to me, at least, that it's working fine... at least on my Mac with the three major browsers.

no idea if this is related....
but %20 type code usually appears for me when dealing cross languages and UTF-8 related stuff. ie: when some sites, browsers whatever have other types of encoding.

just thought might be an area to check out.

Hi,
I installed the mod, but for some reason it doesn't work for me.

Thanks for your help.
