Auto-resizing images by Uploads module
Posted: Tue Mar 22, 2011 5:34 am
I use Uploads module to have the image file uploaded by the site visitor, then approved by changing the file's category and displayed on the site. That part works beautifully.
The only problem is with the dimensions of uploaded images. We anticipate that end-users will be uploading raw images, straight from the camera, hence it would be great if the images were automatically scaled down to preset dimensions, e.g. 1024x768 (just like it is in the Gallery module).
Uploads module depends on Calguys Module Extensions, which shows image resizing options on the Graphic Setting tab. These settings, however, seem to be ignored. I can't see any settings or parameters that would imply image resizing within the Uploads module itself. Hence my question: is it possible to configure the current version of Uploads to do the image resizing, or possibly integrate it with another module to accomplish that task? Could it be considered a feature request?
