When you upload an image using the upload dialog, there is a button to automatically add the image to your post. This mod also creates a link to generate a thumbnail.

The thumbnail image is defined by $thumbnail_width and $thumbnail_height in the config file, and after generation there is an option to put the thumbnail (linking to the original image) in your post.

It hasn't be rigorously tested, but here is v. 1.0

I'll post screenshots at some point. Feedback welcome.

As I promised.

After you upload an image, this is the window you are presented with.

If you click the "Generate Thumbnail" button, you are then given.

Only the very ancient versions of GD, which is what php uses to work with images, have support for GIF files because of the licensing issues. This isn't a problem with the script, it's a problem with the bastids at unisys. ;) You simply cannot work with GIF files with GD anymore.

I'm using the script right and it works great. I haven't uploaded and posted any thumbnail images but I've tested it.

Thanks for the hack Smile

Is it possible to have a ratio width and height for the thumbnail? Like instead of setting a value of 100 for width and 65 for height, i could have a ratio of 40% of the image width and 40% of the image height.

This will make the thumbnail more visible especially since we sometimes have image that have width lesser than height and sometimes width higher than the height.

Hi,

My guess is the GD library is not configured with php. Run the phpinfo.php script located in the b2-tools directroy. Then see if the GD stuff is loaded. Again, my guess is that it is not.
