Okay, the avatar resize mod at wizwig's forum works great, you just have to make one little change to have it work perfectly.

In Profile.php, find this part.

Code Select Expand

      // now let's validate the avatar
      $sizes = @getimagesize($member['userpic']);
      if ($sizes && (($sizes[0] > $userpic_width && $userpic_width != 0) || ($sizes[1] > $userpic_height && $userpic_height != 0)))
         fatal_error("$txt[yse227]  $userpic_width x $userpic_height)");

And comment it out as such:

Code Select Expand

      // now let's validate the avatar
      //$sizes = @getimagesize($member['userpic']);
      //if ($sizes && (($sizes[0] > $userpic_width && $userpic_width != 0) || ($sizes[1] > $userpic_height && $userpic_height != 0)))
         //fatal_error("$txt[yse227]  $userpic_width x $userpic_height)");

.....or you could simply remove it, whichever one you want to do.

This will stop it from spitting out the too large message for jpeg images and simply resize it like a good little boy. The avatar will be resized to whatever you want, plus it will not be affected if it's not larger than the limit.


Confirmed to work with 1.5.1 RC45 with that simple change I pointed out above.

I was using my change to this and I noticed a problem. It will not load up a profile or a thread if the poster or user has an animated gif as their avatar. That seems to be the only problem with this code.



Note: This is tested on the 1.5.1 RC45 release, I don't know what changes have been made to the final product, this whole change my not even work anymore.

Can I use this for 1.5.1? If not, what other options exist?

Thanks

I sincerely doubt this works in 1.5.x Test it and see.

great mod! But I think someone needs to make another version that works with 1.5.1, I just tried it and the code the .mod file searches for doesn't exist where its looking.

No, it won't work with 1.5.x, the code has changed a lot. However if you want a quick and dirty fix try this.
In your preference settings, set the avatar size to the width you want and the avatar height to 0. There is also some code in Load.php you will need to change to prevent an error message. I don't have a vanillia Load.php at hand but the code you need to comment out is around:

Code Select Expand


   /* if the user pic limits are specified, implemen them, other wise, no restrictions are present */


I know this works in Netscape and IE but can't guarentee it will with any other browser. The reason it works is when faces with an empty (or 0) height attribute the browser will supply it. In effect it will scale it to whatever width you entered.

Forgot to add, I'm working on a html mod for I,Brian right now but when I'm done I will see what it takes to do this mod for 1.5.3.
