Auto Resize of pictures?

[ray]

Hello,
Im using GD1 at the moment, I hope to soon use Image Magick with this gallery but...

Does any of these have the capabilities of resizing the original photos to a set dimensions (eg 640 x 480)?

[Joachim Müller]

yes, that's what image libraries are for (at least that's why they were included into coppermine).

The difference between GD and IM lies in quality and speed, that's all.

How do I configure it so that all uploaded images larger than 640x480 are automatically resized to 640x480?

[Joachim Müller]

use the button "resize pictures" in admin menu to resize the full-sized images (or better still: don't upload images that are bigger than you want them, but resize them on your client before upload).
I must confess I didn't read your first posting carefully enough - I didn't get "Auto" in the subject. So the answer to your original question is: there's no functionality included (yet) into coppermine to resize pics on upload (but this could be done comparatively easily with a small hack).

ermm....  :roll: where is this "resize pictures" button as I cannot see it. If its any use Im using the hardwired theme

[Joachim Müller]

maybe you're not using the most recent version of coppermine - it's only in cpg1.2.0
For versions 1.1.x you can download this feature as an add-on: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/coppermine/cpg1.1mod_util.zip?download

Your posting should have gone into support board in the first place, please specify what version of coppermine you are using, so I can move your posting accordingly!

I am using Coppermine Photo Gallery 1.2.0 - RC2. But anyway, I installed that add on, and loaded the page, but how do I resize the photos? I am only asking as I dont want to take the risk of trying it without knowing how to do it properly, as I dont want to end up deleting the photos.

[Joachim Müller]

always do a backup first (with phpMyAdmin or similar) - see faq for a short howto.
