I'd like to open image uploading on my web site to registered users of the forum. But current image module has much to desire. It will reject any images if the uploads does not meet the preset size specs.

Is there a module that will automatically resize the uploaded images in the forum?

Hi Jackwan

I guess there are not a module with such unique function.
Maybe some programmer could write a function for that using some nice GD features.

Let me know if you find that module.
Thanks

I think its not that difficult. All they have to do is make the uploaded original image unlimited. but when it enters the module, the module reformat it to a standard size and throws the original away. Just like the standard photo in Myalbum, there are three sizes of photos being "kept".

There is a way, you might have to fine one stand alone image upload script and port into the forums scripts or others.

I have over 20+ image uploads scripts from other author. Some are goods and some are lack of features.

Many scripts can be found here, www.hotscripts.com

Have you considered using the Gallery module? It resizes images when uploading, but I'm not sure if it will fulfil your exact requierements

thanks sbkiller,

I went to visit the script site and was impressed with the depth of varities.
However, I am no php programer, I do not know how to insert the scripts and to associate.
Besides, if I patch the current version, that means each subsequent versions I have to make the same patches, which will become a supporting problem.

thanks everyone, I have downloaded the gallery and wfsection as well as xcgal and several others. I will evaluate each one and see which will be most useful.

Thanks again, you are most helpful.
