Solved image attachment size calculation error in K2.0.1

Hmmm - image displayed inline so have renamed to .pdf to see if it will attach it instead

That didn't seem to work - I take it you'll be able to see the attachment in attachment manager though.

Many thanks for looking into this for me...

The image you posted (807 x 500 px) was resized to 715 x 443 px.

The maximum width/height restrictions in the configuration settings on this site are:

Forum Configuration » Uploads » Images »
Maximum Image File Size: greater than 64 but you don't need to know the actual figure
Maximum Image Width: 1024
Maximum Image Height: 1024

The reason why the image was resized is because of another configuration setting:

Forum Configuration » Frontend » Look and Feel »
Textarea Width: 740

The reason why dynamic image resizing works on this site is because there is a dynamic image processing library installed with PHP (which is fairly standard for most hosted installations these days).

Perhaps the information that accompanies the forum configuration settings could be improved but, in your case, simple problem, simple remedy: increase the configuration setting values to allow for bigger (or resize your images yourself so that they're within the boundaries you've defined).

If you believe you have a problem with dynamically resizing images, post your configuration settings.

Please let us know if the advice we have given resolves the matter for you.

Hi there - that really helps, but I'm still a bit confused.

I modified the Max image width and Max image height to 1024 (from 800) and left the textarea width and height as 450 and 300 respectively.

The image was uploaded and looks to be resized when it is displayed, but when I download it it's still saved as the 807 x 500 size.

Am I wrong in the assumption that if the image width and height settings are set to 800 that they should be resized (as the text to the right of these settings say)?

If the files are supposed to be resized _based on the settings in Configuration -> Uploads -> Images_ then what do I need to have installed on the server to support this?

Thanks again...

Until now I have been guessing. Please read this: What information should I include when I ask for help (including how to post my configuration report)?

I think it would help the situation if we worked with some empirical data instead of relying on my guesswork.

OK - I've got it sussed!!!

From playing about with certain settings I've discovered that the image was being resized, however when it was resized to a smaller pixel size, the file size increased to 273Kb!

Weird but understandable now... (although can't think of a way to modify the error message to be more specific to avoid confusion).

Anyway - now I know what it is I'll increase my settings to a more appropriate value.

Thanks again for all your help...
