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.

Alright, apparently I diagnosed my problem incorrect, it seems to be a conflict with vBadvacned. The issue I posted about the unknonw location showing in whosonline has nothing to do with someone viewing a thread with images in it, rather... whenever anyone is looking at my vBa index or a vBa page, I see the;

Unknown Location
/clientscript/ncode_imageresizer.js?v=3

In whosonline. Any idea why this might be the case, I would assume it shouldnt interact with or intefere with vBa in anyway?

In past versions I relied on the per version installation code functionality of vBulletin. Either I misunderstood this functionality or something else went wrong, but I now just use one installation code. The SQL error you give is related to an old version. Please uninstall everything and reinstall the latest version to get rid of everything. Perhaps you can give me the version number of the version you had before so I can test how upgrading between these two versions goes and I can try to improve this.

vBAdvanced compatibility is something I will look into in the near future. I will take this report into account then.

If you use the RC1 database schema you will get problems, because is has changed in the meantime. As I said, I will look into the upgrade problems. I will not go back to the old method, that's for sure.

The first post (and readme) also mention another way to thank Spleasure. A few bucks via PayPal is how I showed my thanks, for the best hack to come along in a while... along with great support and responsiveness! Thanks again, Spleasure!

[Spleasure]

I have tried all kinds of upgrade scenario's and I can't reproduce the errors. Mike-D: can you tell me which versions you had installed? In which order did you upgrade?

I visited that URL in Internet Explorer 6 and it works for me. Please contact me by IM so we can fix this bug.

Yes, it works with 3.6.4. It actually works with 3.6.0 and up, it's a little unclear. But if you keep in mind that there isn't much difference between 3.6.x and 3.6.y (x != y), just bugfixes, then this is clear automatically.
