MG 2.0 Image resizing

[onthefly]

Is there a way to have image resizing of pictures uploading to reduce the server space used? I seem to recal VB doing that in the past?

Yes it is controlled by permissions:



Just set a maximum image width/height.

So if I leave the file size unlimited, when they upload a very large image size, the program will reduce the files size after its uploaded, like Facebook?

That's correct, yes.

Images will not be able to exceed the max width/height if set. If they do, they will be resized. This of course will reduce the file size.

Ok, one more question. What would be the best size for low budget site?

We tend to have ours set to 1280 width and 1280 height.

I set mine to 1000 for both and uploaded a pic from my phone and got this error.

What is your PHP upload_max_filesize? You can find this in the adminCP. I had this error too and it turned out the file I was uploading was larger than this server setting.

I found where to adjust it, thank you. Mine is set at 256 what should it be set at?

What are the pixel dimensions of the image?

The image may exceed a built in config limit but it is adjustable.

The 256M is in my PHP upload_max_filesize What should that number be set at and is that how you get rid of the uploading error?
