So I set a Maximum size: 700 and I picked a picture of the Windows Sample Pictures and I got a sad message "Maximum allowable single upload size exceeded - gallery item rejected
".

Does the Profile Gallery plugin count with a Auto Image Resize feature or not?

This was something Unexpected for me. If the user has to resize every picture to compliance with the requirements of the settings, thats something obtrusive for the user.


Thanks.

I know that the message refers to the Size in Kbytes, when I say Auto Image Resize I am talking about the weight of the file to Upload not about dimensions.

In the other hand the bigger the picture the more heavy the file is.

So my question is, does this CB system has the feature to Auto Adjust pictures or the User has to "fix" the picture in order to upload it? regular users don't know how to do this, even though some of them have an idea, this is tedious for any user. Any feature/plugin released or not available yet?

If not I ll change the limits to 1 MB, but a .js could be helpful in order to prevent excessive use of HD in the server.

I've seen .js that would resize and/or lower the weight of files of a specific folder and eliminates the original files once uploaded to the server, just a tip for the performance of this Plugin. That could eliminate the Limits of picture to upload leaving an open Window for any kind of picture, the .js would do the rest on the server size.

Thanks nant.

PD: Flash could also help.. easy to implement EXAMPLE

As far as i know, the latest Profile Gallery does resize your pictures on upload. Just check the plugin tab parameters and the help tooltip:

The following params are the final picture dimensions AFTER upload. Those are the re-sized dimensions.
Maximum width:
Maximum height:

Same applies for the thumbnails params.

Upload filesize:
Yes, you can allow bigger file uploads with a higher setting here:
Maximum SIZE:

Also remember to adjust the storage quota accordingly.

My bad guys. I thought that increasing the Limit was going to be a problem, I double checked and the picture was resized and the original was discarded. By the way when is C.B 2.0 going to be released? thanks.
