    • Server-side image resampling

    Posted by Thomas Despoix posts: 54 France

    I would like to use server side down-sampled images in the wiki with the following syntax (the image is actually 1024px wide) : 

    Image

    The point is : the image is NOT resampled, it just uses a width attribute for img tag, which results is ugly browser rendering (except in Opera that resamples images on-the-fly).

    The only workaround I cound find is to use the thumbed picture with the syntax : 

    Image

    But then, the size is fixed to the thumb size, which is not convenient.

    In your image gallery, add the scaled size that you want (such as 600x600) — see the docs for details.

    Then you can use that scale for your resized image:
    {img src=show_image.php?id=XXXXXX&scalesize=600}

    HTH,

    Thanks a lot Rick, that happens to work perfectly !

    One question though : Why do we have to choose scales a priori, instead of created them on-the-fly, as other wikis do (like ))MediaWiki(( for instance) ? It doesn't seem tougher to code from my perspective.
