Re: Re: Image Downloads

Well, not quite true. If I right click on a thumbnail, the thumbnail image is saved. The problem with displaying an image in an image gallery is that at least some of the images will be very large; they are not automatically resized to fit the browser window.

However, your reply did get me to go back and try some more. I have determined the following:
If I place the downloadable images in a file gallery, I can create a Wiki page with the following:

Copy to clipboard
{img src=tiki-download_file.php?fileId=2&display=y width=80}

This will display the image with a width of 80 (effectively creating a thumbnail image). When I right click on it and save, the full size image is saved. This solves image size problem and allows the download, but does leave one other potential problem. Full size images are downloaded for display before being resized (to width of 80 in the example). If the page contains many large images, display time for the page is quite long with slow Internet connections.

There are no comments at this time.
