Geek Auto Avatar Resizer

Basically this is a very simple addition to stop the mega computer literate who use my forums driving everyone insane with their 'I tried to upload my pic as an avatar but its too big - how do I resize it'.

In a nutshell, this will automatically resize the uploaded avatar (and profile picture) to your max dimensions (if it is too big).
It must still be smaller than the Custom Avatar Maximum File Size (bytes) / Profile Picture Maximum File Size (bytes) setting. In fact - it wont even get uploaded if the pic exceeds this size. Therefore I would suggest raising this limit to an appropriate amount.

There is 1 file edit (1 line) and 1 include file.

(Im going to get pissed if someone says there is already a hack for this )

I just installed this but I'm still getting the error "That image is too large. The maximum dimensions are 48 by 48 pixels."

I am trying to upload a 100x60 (1.16KB) or a 100x100 (4.62KB) gif image and my forum settings are at "48 by 48 pixels or 9.8 KB (whichever is smaller)".

If I'm understanding this hack correctly, it should be resizing the 100x60 or the 100x100 image to 48x48 and not givng the error message?

Any ideas?

Check that your GD settings are correct. If its set to none - it will bypass the routine.

Dear The Geek,

Thank you,
This is a useful hack.

My GD settings are at 2+

Any other suggestions?

I just double checked my GD version and it is 2.0.28

[The Geek]

What I mean is what the GD setting is put to in vboptions (which I think you said was 2+?).
Are you having the same problem with GAS3.51? It uses almost the same exact proceedure to resize uploads - however it doesnt test for GD support.

Let me know

Yep, in vboptions my GD setting is 2+

I haven't tried uploading a picture with GAS3.51, but I will do that now...

Weird. I just did a test article with a big graphic and GAS3.51 resized it perfectly.

I just re-applied the GARR hack and it still didn't work. It's almost like it's not even calling the functions_geekautoavatar.php file (or it's not passing the GD test for some reason).

Any ideas?

Could it be a problem with the GD test in the php file? Is there a version without the test that I could try?

rrr, commenting out the gd test. Open the functions_geekautoavatarresizer.php and change:

PHP Code:

if ($vboptions['gdversion']){ 


to

PHP Code:

//if ($vboptions['gdversion']){ 


you will also need to comment out the last } on the page
replace:

PHP Code:

}

?> 


with

PHP Code:

//}

?> 


Let me know if that helps!
