[3.2][RC] Avatar Resize on upload

[Hartenheer]

Only turn on?
No further settings needed?

That's correct. You might only want to raise your max avatar filesize to allow for larger files on upload. While resizing, the resulting filesize will shrink to reasonable dimensions anyway.

What is an acceptable size? I have an idea of the bites and size of the images

[Ger]

Anything your host allows as upload_max_filesize. If you have no idea or actually don't care, you can set it to 0. In that case it's just limited by your host. In that case you can only stumble upon a problem with hitting the memory limit if you host has a ridiculous high upload_max_filesize combined with a low memory limit.

Thanks for your comment

Just a thought:

I have set the avatar max size to 160x160 pixels. Let's say, I do upload an avatar sized 640x320 pixels. Then your extension will resize it to 320x160 pixels which is totally correct.

But what I would love to see is an option to choose the resizing method. Either just to 320x160 px or to the exact maximum avatar size of 160x160 px. And if the aspect ratio is not corresponding to the one of the max avatar size set in the ACP options, then to cut out the middle part of the image.

So basically upload 640x320, resize to 320x160 and cut out the middle part to make it 160x160.

I hope you understand what I'm thinking about.

I understand, but I think it will produce unexpected results when images are arbitrarily cropped.I think it would be better to resize your example to 160x80px. It that's not to the user's liking, he or she can just crop it to their wishes on their computer/phone.

You're probably right.

Hi,

This extension will work with phpBB 3.2.2? I still not updated to 3.2.3

Thanks.

[*]You need at least phpBB 3.2.3-RC1 for this extension to work or manually add the following patch to your phpBB 3.2 installation:
https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb/pull/5127/files

So no. You will need to update to 3.2.3 for this extension.
Or do the manual patch.

I added 'file' to this array and it worked fine with 3.2.2, thanks

@Ger, thanks for this extension.

I must be doing something goofy/wrong. I downloaded, unzipped and then put the contents of the zip file into the /phpbbhome/ext/ger/ directory with a few other of your extensions. But after reloading the "customize" tab in the ACP I don't see the extension in the list of extensions waiting to be enabled.

What could I be missing?

It should be: /ext/ger/avatarresize/

Thank you, that was the fix.

When is it ready?
