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.

Yeah, like I said, it's just my opinion.

I will release a new version with serious javascript and plugin improvements soon.

So do you know why my [IMG] tags stopped working after I removed this hack?

Any solution for that ?

In Mozilla/FireFox right? I know the issue, I don't know of a solution I think it's something which should be fixed at the browser level

I have no clue. Do you have a link to you forum?

[lard007]

I've added/removed this product twice and unfortunately it just doesn't seem to work

I'm not getting any errors and the otions are in VB - I can even see the resizer scripts corretly when I view the page source but nothing seems to happen

I've seen in this thread that others are reporting exactly this problem - on version 3.6.4

Did anyone get this working?

Thanks,

Lard

You seem to have read posts in this thread ("I've seen in this thread that others are reporting exactly this problem"). Then you should have seen that there are people for whom it does work. Additionally, you would have seen that whenever someone has a problem, I request for a link to the forum where the problem occurs.

In the source I see that your forum contains a product which manipulates the img tag in some weird way. It adds the ID "vBCodeIMG" to each image. This not only prevents the image resizer from working, but is also wrong HTML-wise: an ID should be unique.
Please check your modifications and disable the offending modification. If you could post which product caused the problem I'll be very grateful, as I can put in on my "incompatibility list".

Hi,

I was using a different resizer and it appears that I didn't remove the previous one correctly before migrating to this one - the previous hack was here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ight=vBCodeIMG

The code that I failed to remove was located in the includes/class_bbcode.php

return '<img src="' . $link . '" border="0" alt="" id="vBCodeIMG" />';

All now working perfectly - many thanks for looking into this - very much appreciated!

Clicked install
