Title: 'width' support for [img]?
Post by: ksotar on October 24, 2018, 03:27:32 pm

I thought it is supported in SMF 2, but it seems that it has no effect for me.

I just did some testing.  It is supported, though there is a problem with our current forum theme that results in resized images displaying at their normal size.

What to do, then?

As I recall, wayyy back in the day there was a problem with people making obnoxiously large or small images, so Sandwich edited the theme to prevent this.  Now all images display at a fixed size.

I think the best solution would be to modify the theme to restrict image resizing within a certain range.  But that's a Sandwich question, and given Sandwich's limited time currently, I would prefer to wait until he has completed his front page tasks.

I could implement this if you tell me which maximum size to use.

I guess there is current restriction in the code (which sadly makes images to expand to this size as well), and that'll do just fine.

Thanks! :)

I was more worried about a minimum size, since we don't want people sneaking in pixel trackers.  But let's say 8 for the minimum and 1024 for the maximum.

Done. For simplicity's sake you can only set the image width (the height is ignored).
