I decided to create a flexinode content type to replace the regular blog type. The reason I did this was to have the ability to add images directly into my post.
I have two flexinode fields, image and text area. It works well because I can control it with CSS and the whole image upload process is very user friendly, except for one aspect - Image Size.
With flexinode images, you have to constrain the uploaded image to a certain size (ie. 400x300 and 100kb). This is very confusing for the users of the site, because they have to determine how to first resize their picture to the proper dimensions before uploading. I need a way for flexinode images to resize automatically to the specified size so the user can bypass this step.
The image module along with the user avitar picture are both able to resize images automatically to conform to a size set by the admin. I noticed that in admin-->setting-->flexinode it has "image processing" with a defined thumbnail size... looks like it uses imagemagick. However, I don't know how to use this to my advantage.
One thing suggested to me in the past was to allow a large size image for uploading (ie. 1600x1200) and then resize this upon display using CSS. Problem is, the huge picture needs to be loaded onto the page, only to be displayed at a much reduced size.
Please, if you know how to incorporate the auto image resize feature that image module or user avitar uses into flexinode, please respond. I will be so appreciative and I know many others will be as well.
