Hi All, totally confused after reading threads here about image resizing etc. I’ve set “client_max_body_size” to 102400 in admin->settings-files to allow uploading from cellphones. But I cannot for the life of me figure out where to set image resizing. I’ve read some thread: [image] Resize images after uploading Feature This is now done. We’ll accept images of up to 10MB and then downsize them to the maximum allowed image size leopard and [image] Unable to resize images after uploading Bug Ok, I’ve found the bug . It happens that IO.size is cached and while we were actually downsizing the image, the algorithm was always checking the same file size… Thus resulting in an error when uploading a file larger than the image size limit… but just cannot get the image to resize. Help ?

related question: Are all uploads sent to /shared/uploads/default/original/1X/ ? Could I use a convert -resize $WIDTH image.jpg to resize ? perhaps ?

Sorry. In my haste I posted the wrong thing I meant max image size kb I’m trying to scale images from 3400 px wide to something more reasonable

Discourse will automatically create thumbnails for you (we call that process lightboxing). Is that not working?

Ues the thumbnails is working. But the thumbnail Links to the original file that is huge (by default from most phones nowadays)

Oh, you meant resizing the original uploaded image? The only way to do it right now is via the “max image size kb” site setting. Whenever a user uploads an image that is larger than this setting, we’ll try to downsize it to fit the setting. Since it’s CPU/time consuming, we’re only trying to downsize (halving the dimensions) the image 3 times. If you want another behavior, you’ll have to write a plugin.

Ok cool. So back to my confusion. Where do i set this site wide setting?

Like I said, change “max image size kb” to a lower value.

Right … so i set the Max upload in nginx. And the resized size in discourse ?

Pretty much yeah. For nginx, you’ll need to change it via the app.yaml file in order to survive container rebuilds.

Not sure I understand … What are you trying to achieve exactly?

There is no such setting as “client_max_body_size” in Admin > Settings. That’s a NGINX setting.
