Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/27234 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/27234 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: user.module Category: tasks Priority: normal Assigned to: nysus Reported by: nysus Updated by: Steven Status: patch -1 on this. For one thing, it still makes sense to inform people what the maximum avatar size is. Don't underestimate how many avatars are custom made for a particular site. Secondly, it is important to know the maximum size for animated avatars... if they go over the maximum size, they are resized and come out as static images. Without this info you would need trial and error to figure it out.

Drupal appears to handle the resizing of images automatically now so text is not needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 22 Jul 2005 00:59:40 +0000 : nysus Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/user_23.patch (1.06 KB) Bug in above patch (missing paren) fixed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 22 Jul 2005 01:48:31 +0000 : mathias The maximum width and height dimensions still apply when there is no image library installed (see user_validate_picture()). Maybe we could detect if an image library is present and inform the user their picture will automatically be resized to dimension x and y, otherwise the text is displayed as it presently is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 22 Jul 2005 08:30:37 +0000 : Dries I didn't even know we could run without an image library installed. Is that a valid scenario, or more of a left-over from the Drupal 4.5 era? If possible, I'd prefer having one way of doing things, rather than having a new and old way of doing things. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sat, 23 Jul 2005 08:13:04 +0000 : Bèr Kessels I am all for a image-toolkit-only system. But I am a bit concerned that that will rule out a lot of people who have no access to the server/php set up. So, would it be worth it, for sake of usability and ease-of use to demand a toolkit for thumbs, and leave those who have no server softwar efor hendling images without avatars?
