vbulletin.org's image resizing hack?

[RaceJunkie]

Here is another one

You mean these onclick's?

Hmm never even noticed that we do that with external images. I agree that forcing the user with an onclick is very annoying.

Will have a look at this tomorrow.

Oh, I see what you are asking about now, that's a bit of CSS and a file edit (written by Joe).

Not sure what you think is annoying, it seems a clever idea to me - the question was how is it done, not a complaint.

I know what the question what.. I said I didn't know which mode and my post above explains why I find it annoying. Simply because it removes control of my browser from me. At least with regular links I can override them opening in the same tab or a new window.

Hey guys, who does install the hacks to this forum?

I know there are many [img] bbcode external image resizing hacks and i've tried many of them in the past. I'm currently using a very plain hack which is similar to the one Paul M. refferred above.

class_bb_code.php:

PHP Code:

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


And CSS as:

.resize {
max-width: 728px; width: expression(this.width > 728 ? 728: true);
}

vb.org's external image resizing method is better because it has the URL of the original image and i'm curious what happens to the image's URL if the image is both big and already linked.

Edit: I've found your CSS:

.aimgbox {position: relative;overflow:auto;height:auto;width:98%;padding:5px}
img.aimg {max-width:96%;cursor:pointer}
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
.aimgbox {width:99%}
img.aimg{width: expression(this.width > 530 ? 510: true)}
<![endif]-->

and now i'm asking for the file edit

Testing:



Rollover the picture above, you'll see it's linked to msxlabs.org. But when you click on it, it displays the image. If you right click on the image and select "open in a new window or tab" it sends you to msxlabs.org.

This may be implemented:

Actually I was answering Marco, I hadn't even read your post.

- screenshots are available to emphasize the message - not to convey the message
- "resize" is to prevent large images from breaking the style
- the image is resized according to screenwidth - (you may not even have to click on it)

Thanks for the useful infos but why does nobody want to tell me about the modification?

Agreed, just discovered this myself. You can't make an image a link to something else either, they continue to link to themselves. Quite annoying.

The best resize large images mod in vb.org will be mr.gamesbay's Auto Resize large images in an IMG tag hack.Will reisize large images and link them back to the original one.Works for me from 3.60 to 3.68 now.
