[4430] avatar size

[Grim Line]

SMF 2.0 RC3

Currently the max image dimensions are 64x64. I want to change it to 90x90 but when i do all images which are perfect at 64x64 change to 90x90 i do not want this. I want them to all stay 64x64 but allow images that are up to 90x90 to be added aswell. How do i do this? So 1x1 all the way to 90x90 can be viewed.

Is this happening with default avatars that either were on the SMF install, or ones that you added to your forum via a package? Or all avatars?

Avatars from specified URL's

All images are 64x64 on the website and all images come from the same website.

This might be a bug with SMF I believe. I'll mark it in the bug tracker. However, if its downloaded to the site, then it will maintain the proper size.

I don't seem to replicate this. Can you please exactly what settings are you using for avatars and exemplify the problem? Maybe a screenshot?

[Kill Em All]

I'm using the DEV 20100821 build.

Here is screen shot.

when using an external avatar smf has no knowledge of how big it is so cant put the size into the tml of th epage when you set the html to resize it it will always resize it to that size no matter if it was ibgger or smaller

if you use javascript to resize it will be right though

[Norv]

I think it was html resizing, yes. I can't replicate it with javascript (as expected).

[Kill Em All]

Weird, JS works for me now... :/

[Norv]

I'll close it for now, but if there are further issues, we can always reopen it.

[Kill Em All]

Well HTML is still causing issues...

[Oya]

and unless you have it download the avatar to know its size html will always cause issues

[Kill Em All]

No, because if the image is smaller than the max, then it shouldn't even be touching the image. If its larger, than it should be....

[Oya]

yes it will

when you resize by html, the img tag just has the size in it that is in the acp

since smf is not aware of the size of the image at any point, all it can do is insert the size into the img tag to be 65x65 or whatever its set to and the browser will forcibly resize it to that

unless you download it to smf somewhere so it knows the size it won't change it

So your saying that there is no way SMF can review the image and find out the size? Maybe I'm not thinking this out far enough, but then where does the browser get the image size details?

Not when you tell it to let the HTML resize it. In that case you are specifically saying to let the user's browser take care of that (just the browser without using javascipt).

Maybe I'm not thinking this out far enough, but then where does the browser get the image size details?

From the image. The browser encounters an img tag and it requests the file that the URL points to. Just that file. That request doesn't go through SMF anymore (SMF generated that original img tag, of course; but it's done with the page by this time).

And if the img element contains a width and/or height specification, the browser will display the image in a box with that/those dimension(s).

Years ago, the CSS spec added max-width and max-height attributes, which would act only to make the presented image smaller, but not expand it. But IE (6 & 7; not sure about 8 ) never honored it. There are some kludgy attempts to work around it out there, but I'm not sure how well any of them really work (I'm generally suspect of anything that would really on even MORE IE quirkiness to solve IE-specific problems).

Ah, I see. Alright, thanks for the explanation.
