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.

So many downloads? What do I need to take?

I'm using a 3.6 board, Dutch.

[aggiefan]

this is working great for us... thanks.

but i have one suggestion (and i dont know if it is possible) but would it be possible to create a temporary folder where it caches thumbnails? The one issue I see is that it doesnt really help the page load faster (and we have a few dialup people and when we post lots of pictures on a thread it takes forever to load on dialup). A autogenerated thumbnail would help this.

Again I dont know if this is possible but I would love to see it added.

[Ghanem]

Thank you very much
Working just fine with my Arabic 3.6 Gold forum

Hello
the Image resizer does not work if you do a post replay
can that be made so that he also Image resizer if you do a post replay.

I just installed this and it didn't resize images that have already been posted on the forum. Is there a way to make it resize all images already posted on the forum?

Also, after installed, I posted a test image and it resized properly. I then went to admin settings and changed the maximum width of images and the image I had just posted reverted to it's normal size... i.e. the resize didn't stay after changing the maxwidth...

Edit >> I just rebuilt post cache and I guess that fixed it. So anytime I change the maxwidth of images I'll have to rebuild post cache?

Edit again >> Ok I'm kinda confused as to how this works. I've went into the options and set the maxwidth of images to 450 and set the mode to open in new window. I left height at 0 and set users to control all options. When i view threads as an administrator the images are not resized and remain as their normal size. When i view the forums as a Guest, the images are resized. ????

On some threads however the images are resized... others are not. This page, for example:

http://www.quakeone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=927

When I view this as an administrator, the first two pictures shown are resized. The second two are smaller than the resize width so they are normal. The next image is not resized, and it's way past my maxwidth set (450pixels).

Final Edit >> Ok everything works fine in Firefox, but the images are not being resized in IE7.0 - some images are resized in IE7 and some aren't. Doesn't make any sense...

[theRanter]

I've just installed it and then reinstalled it and I can't see that it's doing anything. I don't get any error messages, but I don't get resized images either.

EDIT: I found the problem. Seems I was the only one that couldn't see the error messages.

[upsetter]
