Avatar Resizing

[Thirdshifter]

Post your avatar here if you need it to be resized.

If you need a new avatar you can describe what you need and we'll try to make it.

size ok or not? 50x50 is quite big heh

Can/should we make this automatic? Some tool like convert should be good enough.

50x50 i an ideal size in my opinion. Not to small not to big.

IN september i will set the limit of avatrs to be 50x50. Right now i'll people change it themself. I dont want anybody to loose their avatr etc.

I was thinking more like a tool when new members put new avatar or during change avatar. For example when you post a picture to friendster it will resize it for you and if you don't like it (after bein shrunk) you can post another one.

I'm sure it can be done...bcos I've seen other forums having this function. But the question is "how" kua. I dunno much about forum thingy and their codes and etc.... so I dont know how. :)

[el_empty]

just use picasa. i believe there's an easy function to resize images.

www.picasa.com

Somehow my avatar does not show up anymore when i resize it...

[jiinjoo]

how did you resize it? I can try resizing it for you if you want.

as i was suggesting, i think this should just be part of the uploading process provided by the server instead of having everyone download picasa or other program to do it...

[digimushu]

I used photoshop.

dont think the problem is the tho...

got this error all the time i tried to upload:

"Warning: copy(./modules/Forums/images/avatars/1136097203412c8861d544d.jpg): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/recom/domains/recom.org/public_html/includes/usercp_avatar.php on line 264"

[digimushu]

hmm, trying to fix the 'permission denied' thing. Still. hang on.

[jagganatha]

i see guess its a recom problem..

Ya. If you see a "permission denied" thingy, just alert one of the anchors. The root cause is that since we moved to shared hosting, all our permissions we reseted to the "safe" level (644 or 755, if you know what I'm talking about). We'll need to evaluate each file again to see if we have to make it writable.
