I don't know, maybe there are allready a perfect working plugin for this, but I have not found any.
My users want (demand) that images that they upload automatically get resized to suitable format for the web. People take their 3MB+ pictures straight from the digital camera and put it in their post.
Sure, they should not, sure they should use some sort of image software to fix this, but reallity; other blogg platforms fix this automatically for the users, Wordpress does not...
Ideally, during upload, the user should get some suggestions/options; Keep original (not recomended), Maximum conpression, Fairly compressed, just litte compressed (with previews and facts).
Are there any plugin out there that you know of, or is it possible that WPMUDEV creates one like this?
Ps: SmushIT is a good one, but it is limited in original size, and most pictures are to big, so they get ignored...

Yep, we discussed this earlier, and maybe I have done something wrong starting a new threed, maybe I should have bumped the old on? Anyway, as I see it, still no good (read working) solution, or am I missing something?
A Firefox addon, or techniques like that requires a user action (they dont want to do anything, they just want it to work). Anyway, I dont feel I can push such requirements on the user.
There are some discussions about the possibility to incorporate image resize in the flash uploader, that would work, that would in fact be a brilliant solution, but it is just a idea as I understand it and it does not work like this now, and I cant find a plugin that replaces the current flash uploader...
To summarize, as I understand the situation, there are no solution, and WPMU view on this matter is that WordPress core developers should make this functionality, not WPMU?
Have you tried the resize plugin? It would be next to pointless if it only resizes the width. I had assumed that you set the maximum width to suit your theme (or your prefered upload size) and the image height will be proportionally reduced so to retain the aspect ratio - that way, cleverly, you would not have to worry about the height. I might of assumed incorrectly so if this is definitely not the case - please let me know and I wont bother trying it out.

Hi all,
We have been using Imsanity for quite some time now and it works flawlessly. Works great for both a network as well as for mapped domains !!!
I would definitely recommend it.
Just thought I'd let you know. But please test it yourself and give us your results :)
I've been using Resize At Upload Plus for a year+. It works great, but the big downside is that it's not possible to use pictures trough XMLRPC (Ipad/Iphone/Android wordpress App or Windows Live Writer). For this reason I'm going to try Imsanity.
Anybody some basic information on how to install and configure this network wide?
Could it be that you have some plugin that restricts such functionality?
Pro sites maybe? From the Pro Sites installation:
Good thought, but that's not the point. XMP-Rpc is working. I can add posts, but when the post contains a images the images are uploaded but not attached to the post. The app will give an error to. In this post the error is discussed: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-mobile-on-android-and-imsanity

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/resize-at-upload/ only resizes the width, making not an viable option since it distorts the image.

Sorry if I go on and on in this matter :)

I see you found our answers on WordPress.org Cool. :)
Member — 6th March 2012 (2 months ago) #
Yeah I did, but the plugin will also break the XMLRPC photo upload (or attachment to the post).

I have alerted the developer at this thread. He is a great help and really responsive. Could you please join and leave your feedback?
thanks
Member — 12th March 2012 (2 months ago) #
Hi Marikamitsos,
I updated the thread. I think a possible fix will be not resizing images that are uploaded trough a mobile app.
I'll wait the for the reply of the plugin developer. Thanks for your interest.
Cheers,
Pieter

Marikamitsos,
Updated the post again, this time with a code change that fixed the problem for the Androide device.
Thanks for your help,

No problem, I updated the plugin and activated it for the my network (2000+ sites).
Let's hope that my fix did the trick :-)
