Scaled Images

The new feature that replaces the images with a scaled down thumbnail is great. I would say that it is an overall improvement. However, the transparency gets replaced with black. Can we preserve the transparency or replace it with a light color?



The dimension I placed on this diagram is now unreadable. I will start putting my own backgrounds but I can't go back and fix my past images.

... don't find any background or according display settings in the module - maybe one of the server admins can check this?

Thanks!

I can dig through the source if you want.

The embed image module does not have any parameters for this.

It looks like you have to edit the function...

phorum_api_image_thumbnail()

that is located in

./include/api/image.php

I don't have a Phorum setup to test changes. It should be just a few little changes. I will see were you guys are before I dig into this deeper.

Wow! Now, this is helpful.

Apparently, the problem is with thumbnail creation. If you view the thumbnail (right click -> view image in Firefox) you actually see an image with black background. So it's not a HTML or CSS issue.

Currently, thumbnails are created with 'convert':

convert - -thumbnail 561x400 -write jpeg:- /dev/null

This /dev/null is to work around a bug in convert, it doesn't affect anything.

Perhaps it's a silly idea to convert PNGs to JPEGs to start with. However, the JPEG format for thumbnails is hardcoded in Phorums' PHP, so it requires more than just removing the 'jpeg:'.

Look above!

The hardcoding is just in this one function, so changing two lines of code was sufficient. PNGs are now kept as PNGs.
