I would love the ability to define sizes for pictures that would automatically be generated when a user uploads. For instance, right now thumbnails are autogenerated. I also have a need for a Small image (300px max) and Large image (600px max) to be created. It would be great to have an option on the backend to make such specifications.

I will actually try to hack the module myself, using the thumbnail code as a guide, and I'll pass the code back if I get anywhere.

onedeep,

have you started hacking the code? I need the same feature. Perhaps we could work together on a patch that allows you to define custom sizes like the image module? Let me know...

How would you use those custom sizes?

the same way that i use them now with the image module. Sometimes I need a middle sized image for display in the node for fixed width layouts, but i still like to be able to popup or link to the full size image. so i need to be able to set a custom size (usually around (400-600px) between the thumbnail and the full size.

also, i am really loving this module. I would love to be able to display the slideshow in the node rather than having a link to it. That would be absolutely PERFECT for the site i am working on right now.

I would love to help any way i can. I am a designer (not a developer) but I am learning my way around php fast. Let me know if i can help in any way and keep up the good work. great module!

cheers,
thom

Do you need a different setting for each content type? For example the popup link should always display the full size image? Or a custom size image depending on the content type?
Same question for slideshow, you want to choose the position (above content, below content, separate page, ecc...) as a general setting or for each content type?

well,

i am not sure how much work it is for you but flexibility would be great. being able to change the settings for each content type would really help me.

thanks again,
thom

I don,t know how this is going, but if this module is really going to resize pics on the fy, it would be the perfect solution to add images on nodes!!!!

+10!

I agree with everyone on this. Firstly, love the module and love the way it works. Auto-generating various sizes of images is a great idea. Perhaps using the image module settings to define the size would be a good idea - perhaps there is even part of the image module api that could be used?

keep up the great work ;)

looks like the image module api wouldnt really help, and would create a dependency. The table structure for node_images would have to be split across two tables to allow multiple derivative images - pretty major surgery to add the feature. But it would be so great ;(

just wanted to join - the feauture would be really great to have! it would help not to store big image files on the server and not to waste traffic.

Hi,

I did a quick hack yesterday on the module. It now has a configuration option to set the Width&Height for the original uploaded picture in the admin settings page. It works for the 5.x release of drupal.

You can download the file here: http://realize.be/drupal_scale_original_uploaded_image_in_node_images_mo...

Happy scaling!
