Re: [reason-discussion] Resizing of Feature images

[Nathan White]

Hi Travis -

By default Reason CMS resizes anything that has height or width
greater than 500. These thresholds can be changed instance wide - in
reason_settings.php see:

REASON_STANDARD_MAX_IMAGE_HEIGHT
REASON_STANDARD_MAX_IMAGE_WIDTH

There isn't a way to control these site by site as of now - but
hopefully this is helpful.

Best,


Nate

Hi Travis - another note on this ... Mark just reminded me that
feature images use the sized_image.php class, which attempts to use
the original image file when available. When you upload an image to
Reason CMS, it stores the resized 500 pixel sized version (which is
what typically shows up to the user), but we also store the original.
If you go to the "preview" view of an image, there will be a link to
see the original image file.

The sized_image.php class uses that original full dimension image as
the source material when it resizes to the feature default size. So
... even though the image content manager create the 500 pixel
version, your feature images should be sized down from the original,
not up from the 500 pixel version.

If this isn't happening, perhaps some prior version of the
sized_image.php class used the downsized version instead of the
original.
