UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Pictures in profile..

I've set picture max width and height to 80x80. Now every picture is that size. They look very funny...

How do I make pictures in profiles not to force in that size?

thanks!

The pictures in profiles are controlled by that number in config.

Increase the number a bit. You can change it to suit your tastes.

Keep in mind that any picture shown in a profile is also shown on your post pages under the user's title. Now if you want to keep the number at 80 x 80 which is right for a picture in a post but increase the picture in the profile to a bigger size do this

In showprofile.tmpl in your template directory find this line:

<td align="right" valign="top" rowspan="12">
<img src="$Picture" alt="Picture" width="$width" height="$height" />
</td>

For starters try something like this.

<td align="right" valign="top" rowspan="12">
<img src="$Picture" alt="Picture" width="200" height="200" />
</td>

You can adjust the sizes to whatever you want.

You can see a preview here at my test site. I did this up to show you. The post pictures are still 80 x 80 but the picture is bigger in the profile.

Thanks Chuck!

But how do make the pictures keep their dimensions. For example: If I have a pic that is 120x60, the program still makes it 80x80. The pic looks really weird this way.

I don't know if I'm making any sense...

I'd like that 120x60 pic to stay 120x60 pic.

thanks!

I think that this will distort your post screens. What you really need is the picture to be sized down to 80 pixels but on the biggest dimention proportionally.

If you have an image that is 120x60, then the script should read that 120 is the biggest number and size that down, while not forcing the 60 to become 80. With this mechanism the image will be proportionally sized down according to its original dimensions.

In you scripts, you can look for code like this: this is from showflat.php

width="$picwidth" height="$picheight"

Take out the height="$picheight"

Then the pic will be constrained to the max width of 80 but the height will not be distorted. This helps you preserve your layout.

You'll have to look for that wherever you see pictures in threads.

You should be able to do the same to the above code if you just wanted it in the profile only. Just take out the height and the image will contort down but stay within its ratio.

good job guys I got this working and it was a easy one.

Some pictures are still distorted from the move over from the classic. But any new images are working like a dream!!
