Rhett Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 A while back (few months) I remember hearing a staff member talking about a new feature in 3.2.0 that would re-size large images when uploading. I remember this clearly as it's a needed feature and I often get complaints that it doesn't exist. Is there any news on this feature as I don't see it in 3.2.0? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHappenen Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I know when you post a big image in a post it re-sizes it. I think that's what they might of been talking about? Its been around for a while so idk. Not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 No, it was specifically a feature to reduce the file size of images upon upload.... we have had the thumbnail and auto resize of remote images for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3DKiwi Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yeah I recall this as well. It was specifically for image attachments to stop people uploading hi res images / high file size. I'm on 3.1.4 so use a hook that does this. Essential at a graphics forum like mine where there are lots of image attachments. 3DKiwi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Nuno. Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 I don't understand why this ins't available .... just don't understand! This should be a default feature since the beginning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrep Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Yep, this is available now - and I'm very pleased it is too! :) All the huge MB attachments are now ~ 100k It's "Attachment image maximum size" under "Topics, Posts and Polls". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 I was referring to the max image file size..... example below If you upload an attachment bigger then a set max file size in KB it would re-size the image for you on the fly. It looks like there is a resize option now, but it only effects the pixel max size and not the file size KB.. I thought this is what we were going to be getting? Maybe I was remembering it wrong?

bfarber Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 We added dimension-based restrictions, not filesize-based restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhett Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 We added dimension-based restrictions, not filesize-based restrictions. Ok, maybe I misunderstood the feature when it was being talked about. Here is my trouble, so take this as feedback. Say a member has 5 images he would like to post up in a thread. Each image is 300kb My max per post setting is 500kb (because I don't want 1500kb images being attached) This user can only post one image per post and it looks very sloppy and is time consuming. If I raise the limit to suit this, I will get members attaching 1500kb images all over the place. So in my opinion there needs to be a per image cap (file size), not per post. Anyone else run into this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeborne Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If you add an attachment to a post, it doesn't count against the 'max per post' setting unless they 'add to post' does it, and even then doesn't it just calculate using the size of the thumbnail, not the full-sized attachment that it links to? So they should be able to add 5 image attachments without any problems so long as you have thumbnails turned on (otherwise you could also turn off "Show uploaded images in post as images" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
