Allowing BB IMG Code in posts(IMG size)

[Smoothie]

I allow BB IMG Code in posts, how do I limit the size of the image members can post. If the image is too big, it spreads the table out to far, plus I want to let members post images, but not huge ones. This is not for attachments, but for the actual BB IMG code that allows members to add picts to their posts.

Thanks,

Smoothie

There is currently no way to limit the size of linked images.

Sure.

what I would love would be the addition of size parameters to the img tag. Then I could specify the size myself. :)

what I am trying to do - and I posted a question (http://vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33652) already- is write a hack that will allow me to offer the users three options (whereby currently there are two):

1) Show images in full size
2) show images as clickable thumbnails
3) Show images as links

In order to add #2, I must be able to use the GetImageSize function, because I have to check if an image is smaller than, say, 100 pixel wide or else every external 16x16 smilie will become a 100x100 'thumbnail' :)

Anyhow, maybe this thread will actually invoke one of the developers to reply to my question and if I solve this riddle, I'll write the hack.

Alternatively, perhaps the developers will look into adding the above idea to the next version - there is a great demand on my BB for such an option.

Cheers,

The only way to use the getimagesize() function is to upload the image to your server, at least temporarily. If you look at the process for adding an Avatar or Attachment you will get ideas on how this is done.

Wluke that is absolutely and positively untrue.

Please open notepad and put this in it:

<?php

$image_size = getimagesize("http://vbulletin.com/forum/images/vBulletin_logo.gif");

echo $image_size[3];
?>

Run this script from your own server and see what you get.... :rolleyes:

[tubedogg]

Yeah she's right...there's even an example using a URL on the manual page (http://www.php.net/getimagesize).

Actually I apologise - the remote URL ability was added in 4.0.5, so if you run a previous PHP version than that, it will not work.

I'm not an expert by any means regarding code, but I'm glad other members have expressed an interest in this. I have 1 forum strictly for images, and I can see now it's going to be a headache dealing with picts larger then I really want to allow. For some reason I thought there was control over image size allowed by BB code.
