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.

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...

Are you sure that your administrator account doesn't have its own values?
IE7 testing has to be done yet, but I see that your page contains javascript errors which are not related to my image resizer. Maybe they mess up IE7

I'm finding the same on my forums.

Everything works fine in Firefox but IE (Version 6 for me) is a bit hit and miss, sometimes it resizes images, sometimes it doesn't.

I'd guess its probably something to do with the speed of loading the Javascript and whether or not its loaded when the image is loaded. BUT the script is correctly loaded in the html document header so should be there !

[Get Shorty]

I'm using this with no problems on two different forums, both running 3.6.0.

Great mod!

[Spleasure]

mini2: you're right, stupid mistake. I am currently not able to work on this mod, but two weeks from now I will look at this problem.

[Barteken]

i'm having an issue with IE. for some reason the images are only resized after the thread is posted but when refreshing the image is back to it's full size (like the plugin is only loaded when posting or editing the thread.
also when a user is just viewing the thread the image isn't resized. No problems with firefox though...

[rhino56]

example
http://www.cryo-laboratory.com/forum...ead.php?t=2251

[Settler]

[Eagle Creek]

AT THIS MOMENT can I install this hack safely at my 3.6.0 board? Is it working?

[Eagle Creek]

I've installed and it's working great!

EXCEPT!

When I try to translate the English text to Dutch, the resizer doesn't work anymore. I only edit the phrase.
