I have searched this forum for the answer and see alot on avatar but I dont see the solution.

Here is my question

How can I have an avatar display of any size and just set a max width and height in the default_style.css page.

ie. If I have an avatar of 45x50 I dont want it to stretch to my settings of 64x64.

I just want to set a max width and height and let user put any size avatar in their and at the same time not let it get stretched or distorted?

any ideas?

It is very hard to detect picture size whit asp, maybe it could be done by javascript, and I dont think that you can set max width and height whit css...

I found this javascript somewhere. I think it's from an old mod of MadDog.

Put this in includes/default_javascript.js

function ControlImageSize() {
if (document.images.length > 0) {        // images?
    var imgHeight;
    var imgWidth;
    for (var i = 0; i < document.images.length; i++) {
      if (document.images.name.substring(0,6) == 'chkImg')     {
        imgWidth = document.images.width;
        imgHeight = document.images.height;
        if (imgWidth > 55) {
          document.images.width = 50;
          // Change the height proportionally
          imgHeight = imgHeight / (imgWidth/50);
          document.images.height = imgHeight;
        }
      }
    }
}
}

And at line 848 replace

If blnAvatar = True AND strAuthorAvatar <> "" Then Response.Write("<img src=""" & strAuthorAvatar & """ alt=""" & strTxtAvatar & """ class=""avatar"" onError=""this.src='avatars/blank_avatar.jpg';""/>")

With

If blnAvatar = True AND strAuthorAvatar <> "" Then Response.Write("<img src=""" & strAuthorAvatar & """ alt=""" & strTxtAvatar & """ class=""avatar"" id=""chkImg1"" name=""chkImg2"" onError=""this.src='avatars/blank_avatar.jpg';""/>")

And play a bit with the ControlImageSize settings. This should work.

I've found the way below to find out which image has which dimensions. I've not the time to integrate it with WWF, but I think it should work.

I've downloaded the test-script and changed it to search the forum/smileys directory. The result: http://board.teraweb.ch/user/imagespecs.asp - http://board.teraweb.ch/user/imagespecs.asp

I think with this script all avater sizes should be "hard-coded" directly in the asp and the CSS height/width arguments should me deleted...

(thats just the first idea I had)
