Incorrect representation in SMF 2.1.4

[shawnb61]

My suggestion is to shorten the translated strings...

That isn't really possible. I have unified and shortened both to "Höhe/Breite eingeben (px):", which could be considered a bit rude in formal German, but I don't see a way to shorten them more (unless I remove the verb completely).

Yes, I'd remove the verb completely.  As long as the intent is clear, e.g., width/height.

BTW, I don't think that's a verb. I do not read it as "insert" as in "provide", a verb.  I read it as "insert" as in "inserted image", a noun. 

It's not a sentence, it's a simple label.

Thanks for your answer and help.
I have now also found why it would not work in my main forum.
I installed a mod that installs font inter. See link: https://rsms.me/inter/
If I disable the mod then everything works as it should.
Does anyone know what mod that was?
Is this a problem of SMF or of the mod?
If not SMF I will ask the mod creator.

Thanks for all your helps.

Thanks for pointing that out. Most of the options of what "insert" (noun) translates to are only used in very specific fields like mechanical engineering and would be ambiguous (is it describing the dimension of the thing, or the location within the page where the thing goes, for example), so I didn't consider that.

Maybe I could go with "display height/width", but then that is ambiguous with regards to real resizing vs. keeping a large image and just displaying it smaller.

Translating as "Height/Width the image should be displayed in/resized to" isn't much more precise, but a lot more unwieldy. So just "Width/Height" it is.

Another note.
You can specify the maximum width and height of featured images in the configuration of SMF. But this function no longer makes sense because you can enter the values yourself when uploading. Wouldn't it be better if the maximum values also applied to the upload input window?

[shawnb61]

These are two different sets of parameters.

One allows an admin to set maximums for display across the entire forum.  The other limits the size of the display within the current post, per the user's preference, how it might fit into the composition of a particular post.

I'm beginning to understand the problem. I believe the problem is the length of the translated strings. In both German variants, the button is (almost, in my case) pushed out of the visible area:

Formal German:
You cannot view this attachment.

Informal German:
You cannot view this attachment.

English:
You cannot view this attachment.



Another quirky thing I noticed about the new attachment feature, independent of language files: If I drag my image inside the attachment area, but outside of the dashed box, it will open another tab with my local image file.

I can confirm that the "insert" button is not visible/ cut off due to #post_attachments_area #attachment_previews not adjusting to height. I need to set a min-height of about 180px for it to see the button. A z-index also didn't help.

I believe the issue was not present for the beta5 version of 2.1.4

There were 0 changes from beta5.

What theme are you using?  It's possible a .css tweak needs to be applied.  In particular, this is the tweak that addressed the minimum height issue:

Maybe it was beta4 then, at least I did not have issues then, as far as I can remember.

I use a customized Pelikan Theme. Is there a way to make the the preview field adjustable to the height of the Insert window? All my attempts have failed so far.

The issue was addressed in beta4.  It was present in 3 & prior.

It's possible some themes may need to be tweaked.  Best check in the theme support thread.

It might be something as simple as your zoom level...

I had no issues with my custom theme using beta4/5. It's only now with the official version.

Is there no way of letting the Insert menu (.attach-ui roundframe) define the height of the preview (.attachment_preview_wrapper)?

@Sesquipedalian  Thoughts?

My thought is that it might be wise to reconsider #7737.
