XF 2.2 Does has Xenforo somethin like this? Or maybe it's in there but can't find it!

[Bob de Bouwer]

Hi,

I am new here, we just bought a licence a couple of days ago!
We are looking for a add-on that auto resizes pictures placed in the tags from links.
When somebody uses a link of a picture say via google, a lot of pictures are often to big.
Is there an add-on, or a function in Xenforo to set maximum height & width, and the forum auto adjust?

We had this on Vbulletin, but we have made the switch now to Xenforo.
Originaly we used to use this one : https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=237650

"This hack resizes external images (not attachments) in cms, blogs, posts, new thread preview, signatures, private messages and visitor messages."

Hope someone can help me with this!
Regards
Bob

I'm not aware about a resource doing that.
But this one https://xenforo.com/community/resources/convert-image.5609/ convert hot linked image to attachments which respect size limit defined in ACP.

Hi,

Thanks for your respons.
I saw this converter, however i do not want to upload them as a attachment.
Only other option would be, that there was an "imgcache" add-on that parses the pictures in regular interfalls to own server, and resize the pictures.
Then i would think about storing them on the server.

Thanks for thinking with us!
Hope that someone else has an idea for this

Regards
Bob

If you just want to change the size at which the images are displayed, try this code in extra.less:

.bbImage { max-width:300px }
