Control width of an embedded image inside a post

[abdfahim]

When I embed an image inside a post, it is always displayed in a fixed-width small box even if the image has higher resolution. In times, I prefer to display an image at the maximum width (spanning the whole post area), but there is no option for that.

As an example, there is no way I could display the lion image with 100% width of this post body. Appreciate if such an option can be introduced.

I’m seeing that lion 100%

I’m seeing that lion 100%

Maybe I chose the word incorrectly. I want the picture to span the whole post body (or full-width, whichever is smaller in size). I would like to see something like

How do you see this embedded image?

How do you see this embedded image?

I see this spanning full post area as I want to. But this is not embedded from the gallery, is it?

Ah, I see here there is a difference between image embedded from media gallery and image embedded via URL.

You can upload to media gallery, then right click to get image location URL and add that via the insert image icon. It is 100% but of course you done't get the caption. To get that, you need to use the embed code from the Share this media box in gallery and it is a set size (see second pic)

Via URL

Oh, right. That would work for me as well, thanks! So, all I need to do is to embed it using "insert image" button and url to the gallery item instead of using the "Gallery embed" button. Got it.

But, you can change the specified size of the gallery embed code by adding this to extra.less

.embeddedMedia
{
    width: 100% !important;
}

That seems best of both worlds, 100% AND caption.

There probably needs to be more control over how Gallery images are embedded in posts.

In XenForo 1.5.x there is this:



In XenForo 2.0 these options seem to have disappeared (at least I can't find them).
