Ok it works Smile

however a little "bug" (which isn't ...)

Aspect ratio is OK, but Vertical pics are BIGGER than Horizontal Pics : it would be cool to maintain the aspect ratio by adding "HEIGHT = SAME VALUE WIDTH" ...

otherwise ... perfect !!!

Funny you live Budapest, we'll go at Sziget ...

Sziget is a great jamboree, everyone should visit it at least once. Smile

So you mean you would like images taller than the defined maximum width be proportionally resized so that their height is equal to the max width? That is, if you set 200 as max width, you would like your 150px wide and 300px tall images be resized to a height of 200px, don't you?

if you go to
http://www.sortons.net/nucleus/

You can see vertical pics are BIGGER than horizontal pics Smile

Ratio are
- Horizontal : 180x120
- vertical : the theory would be 120x180 (the same ratio, but vertically), but we have 180x240

Another thing : the scaling is quite bad : possibility to have options to use your option, GD2 and (better) ImageMagick ?!

I must admit put the options in Blog parameters is a big big idea.

I see and I'll add the firstly mentioned option to the plugin soon. Mentioning the other, I'll have to take a closer look to those plugins to find out what kind of code to output for those plugins. But it's a good idea.

I up again the requests : indeed, I have a 8mb/s adsl, it's very fast ... but when you read the lists of articles under, it's quite low to load the pics (which are not thumbs, but scale ORIGINAL pics and ... when you have about 10 pics with 90 ko/s per pic, it's quite heavy to load)

Hi Rod,

In this case you should consider using another plug-in providing thumbnailing function or create the thumbs yourself and use pop-ups to show your pics. You can use, for example, NP_HandyPopup to turn images into links to pop-up images.

I'm afraid I don' understand what you would like to do. Could you try to tell me in more detail, Rod?

I try I try ... but when you aren't english, it's not simple to tell simply a request Smile

So ...

your plugin is great, but I would like thumbs (stored, or created on the fly, I have a powerful dedicated server, so it's not a problem).

You tell to me I can "have" this wish with handypopup ... which is installed in my plugin folder too.

So ... to have a system thumb + popup with THIS plugin, which code have I to change ?

(hoping it's clearer)

Yeah, now I see you.

So if you would like to have thumnbail files with lower sizes for decreased page size, and you would like to use Handypopup for popups, you have to create the thumbs yourself and upload those as you do with your regular images.

The code is

Code:

where bigfile is the normal picture of width of bigX and height of bigY and smallfile is the thumbnail file.

For this to work, you have to go to your blog's settings, scroll down the settings to Options for NP_HandyPopup, and there you have to check the Yes radio button for the Convert earlier occurrences of <%popup%> option.

If you regularly post a lot of bigger images and therefore would be tired of manually thumbnailing those, there are a couple of thumbnailing plug-in which you can find in the Nucleus Plugin Catalog.

The way I deal with the issue is that I create thumbs manually (with Irfanview, but there are dozens of similar stuff capable to bulk-convert images) and then in the new post's page in Nucleus I simply insert those as normal images (click on the Image button, click Upload new image, then I select the uploaded image). I upload and insert first the big image, then the thumbnail, so I get the following code:

Code:

Then all I have to do is to replace the first image with popup and replace )%><%image( with a | so I get the right code:

Code:

Hope it helps,
cheers.
