Image Resizing (2.0.5)

[artdoc]

I just installed the plug-in and it works well, so no complaints. But if I had a wish for an added function, I'd like to see it set the now-smaller images to center in the message area! It just looks nicer. Any chance that could happen?
Thanks,

Hi-ya,

Add this to your forum CSS..

.imgresized { width: 100%!important; }

Or, alternatively, put this in your Global Header..

<style>
.imgresized { width: 100%!important; }
</style>

width: 100%!important sounds suspiciously like it makes a photo fit the message width. Not what I'm after. If a photo is sized to, say, 600pixels, it would be centered to have margins of 200px left and right. (numbers for clarity, not exact measures) Now if that code said "align: center", that would do what I want no matter the photo size, maybe?

Thanks.

THanks.

.imgresized { width: 600px !important; align: center; }
Try that then

[artdoc]

.imgresized { width: 600px !important; align: center; }
Try that then

Added it to CSS, no change. Even the 600 width was ignored! I surrender, I'll let the photos be what they are.

What is the point of asking for help if you are not going to even try the suggested solution because it looks wrong?

.imgresized is the containing cell of the image, not the image itself. Making the containing cell's width 100% stretches the CONTAINING cell to fill the post, the contents of which are already centered, and so the image will then be centered within the post.

P̌̓aͧś̀t̀u͒le͆o͂2̀3̃̓'s suggestion is resizing the containing cell and 're-centering' the contents within, but if the containing cell is not wide enough then you will not notice any change.

Yeah I don't know much about the plugin's setup, I'm in agreement that he should of been more specific to begin with. And that without being able to look at the exact place that he's putting it, it's hard to just assume any old code will work.

@todje asked "What is the point of asking for help if you are not going to even try the suggested solution because it looks wrong?"

Artdoc says you misinterpreted my question. I did in fact follow the suggestion. It didn;t change anything. The resized images were still aligned to the left., so adding the code for centering had no visible effect.

I've had a good number of questions as I reffine my forum, and all have been promptly answered and out into action with terrific results. This one just didn't do what I thought it would. I'm not unhappy, so you don't need toi assume I just dismissed the help without trying it because *I* may have misinterpreted the function of the code.

Are you sure you tried todge's suggestion? 
On chrome, when css is set to .imgresized { width: 100% !important; }
It centers it correctly.

Also you see that images that have not been re-sized are still aligned leftwards. Perhaps that makes it look worse than having them all aligned left.

And in FireFox...



The cell appears to be sized to 800px, not 100%, where have you added this code?

Hi Todge,

Is it possible for me to somehow make the resize work by % instead of by px? I tried to enter it in the space provided inside the plugin, but it would not allow it.

Is there way to resize images in private messages? This works great on the main forum. But pics in PMs are still huge. Cheers.

I could make the plugin accept % as well as px, but you'd lose the 'This image has been reduced' notification, and the images would probably be resized no matter what their original dimensions. That is, if you were to choose 50%, then all of your posted images would be resized to 50% of the post cell, even if it meant INCREASING the size.
