Cosmetic problem with SMF 1.0 beta [AVATARS]

[Forse]

Hello

Well I thought picture shows it better then 1000 words:

I used remote avatar and it didn't resize avatar on top, but it did resize avatar in posts. Also avatar on top gets cut. I know it's not a big issue, but I just REALLY want to use SMF for my upcoming site (which should be large).

I've noticed that. It happens on my board and here as well.

It happens on all boards. It is like this for a reason, there was a bug that caused it to totally screw up the size of the top part of the board with large avatars. This fixes that bug.

I love pictures as examples!

I know Douglas brought this up in regards to his avatar on the team board.  I don't however remember the exact reasoning and rationale behind how it is implemented.

If it doesn't clip it, you'd get strange weird problems in IE.  I couldn't figure out why, so I just gave up and clipped it .

Will it be fixed? Also maybe I could mod source not to include avatar there...?

To remove the avatar, make a copy of the theme and all that, and remove this:

Code Select Expand

<div class="smalltext" style="margin: 5px; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;', !empty($context['user']['avatar']) ? ' background-image: url(' . $context['user']['avatar']['href'] . '); background-position: top right; background-repeat: no-repeat;' : '', '">

What about posting pictures in general. Very large picture used to strech the page to accomodate them. now its clipped to the size of the page :s

Should be a scroll bar.

how about resizing avatars so they fit there?  Is that possible?

[[Unknown]]

Yes, you just set it to do so in your settings.

[Akimbo]

no, i mean resizing avatars so they fit in the user info box, while still being 100x100 in the message view. Or is that what you meant?  If so, I can't find the setting.

Can't you just put img width="75" somewhere in the templates? Or is the height the problem?

By the way as the Avatar is used as a background image, the texts go over it if you look at a small resized window, which is very ugly. Again, this does not happen on this board, but in the public beta it does.

I replaced that line in my template with this....

Code Select Expand

<div class="smalltext" style="margin: 5px; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><img src="' . $context['user']['avatar']['href'] . '" height="68" style="position: absolute; right: +1px; top: +1px; clear: both;" alt="" />';

and it looks ok.... time will tell......

[Mike O]

Ok, I was foolish and didn't take into consideration what would happen in the absence of an avatar, so try this.....

Code Select Expand

<div class="smalltext" style="margin: 5px; font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif;">', !empty($context['user']['avatar']) ? '<img src="' . $context['user']['avatar']['href'] . '" height="68" style="position: absolute; right: +1px; top: +1px; clear: both;" alt="" />' : '', '';

Now try a really big avatar.  In all the different browsers.

I think no one will have a really big avatar. Ok, you can't be sure, but really big ? Doesn't the GD resize method prevent it - if enabled ?

[scotbuff]

Some of my members have Avatars that are 170 width.  The Avatar is clipped on all posts.  Prior to the public beta this was not a problem.  Does anyone know how I can set the width of the first column to a set amount.  Since the first column auto-sizes those browsing in lower resolutions do not see half of their avatar.  Thanks in advance.

Regards.

But some people can't enable it... specifically people without GD.
