Images inside posts (blog / forum etc)

Hello.

Right now when i upload a photo to a blog post or a forum post, i can resize it or not. If not, the photo show usually truncated if exceeds the width.

Is there a way for the photo to be shown in the post as resized (to fit) and if clicked to open full size ?

Why ? because many people (like me) resize their photos with advanced tools and don't want any other image processing. Also many users will upload whatever width they want ...

 

Thanks

Really image files should be optimized by resizing else the files end up being large and slow to load. However if the image is not the size you want you can set the size on it using the editor image dialog and it will scale it for you.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Joe,

With all due respect, it is not the way it should be done.

An example that will explain what i mean. And that is the way most forum/blog applications work.

Link:

or even better ways in other forums.

 

Thanks

Hi Costas,

With all due respect, your link points to a forum that specializes in digital photography. Yes they have very slick image management in their forums, I'm sure it was tricky to build that.

If you are expecting something like that in mojoPortal I'm afraid you will be disappointed. I won't be trying to build a forum like that any time soon.

Best,

Joe

Joe,

I don't expect anything like dpreview.com. Simply since the code is already in Mojoportal (the image galleries), i was thinking it could be easily adopted in other areas of the application.

And i'm not speaking just for the forums, the blog posts are also the same.

Anyway, i had to ask, no harm done.

 

Thanks !
