Modify upload dimension of images

[jojje]

Is it possible to change the upload size of a picture when it´s uploaded?
What file shall I look in?

Now it´s just possible to adjust the size of the thumbnails but I think it would be good to be able to adjust the siza of the uploaded "fullsize" picture as well.

What exactly do you want?

Do you want to only allow to upload images smaller than 1 Megabyte?

Or do you want to make files larger than 1 Megabyte to be smaller than 1 megabyte? IF you want this, this cannot be done easily. There is no way to calculate the required dimensions of a file so that it is no larger than X MB. Even photoshop can't do that.

i think he is talking about the dimensions. Automatically resize large images to have max of 500px width or height.

Ah, okay. Well, I for one usually suggest and prefer that people resize their original images themselves. Resizing with imagemagick or gdlib is always a loss in quality, and resizing is much bader there as when you use a photoshop/gimp tool...

Yes it´s about the dimension I asking.

I think I can live with the quality loss. The people that is going to use the blogg are not so used to use computers so I want to keep it as simple as possible.

What file is it that handles the upload of pictures and resizing of the thumbnail?

You should be able to do that with a plugin and using a recent serendipity 1.0-alpha1, where some new hooks have been added just this week.

The files you may want to look at are include/admin/images.inc.php and include/functions_images.inc.php.
