Don't use the advice from the link you mentioned; it's from a stone age version of b2e.

Open ../blogs/rsc/css/img.css

edit:

img {
	border:none;
}

to:

img {
	border:none;
        width:400px;
}

Good luck

doesn't work the image is always too big...

I'll be changing that bit in the css file made EVERY image become 400 pixels wide. Those would be some very big smilies!

At the end of the thread you linked to there is a link to a gallery plugin. Have you considered it? I personally know nothing about it, but I'm pretty sure no one has come up with a method to resize images during upload since way back then, other than the gallery plugin.

You can also cheat by the way. When you insert an image into your post simply change the markup the file manager provides. So like when it says the img width and height are 800 and 600 you change them to 400 and 300. Not the best solution because the image is still the big size - just being forced into a small size. The best (but not easiest) solution is to resize the image before you upload it.

Why not try adding something like
width="75%" height="75%" to the img tag in the post edit screen

EG:

img src="http://blah.com/media/users/blah/bigimage.jpg" alt="bigimage" title="needs to be smaller" class="whatever" width="75%" height="75%" />

Change the percentage to whatever suits.
Then that will only effect that one image for that post.

because i don't want to have to suit my pictures for each post !

in fact i just want that the blog user copy the code given before the update (some of the users are really beginners)

Maybe your members need to be told that images over a certain size are not allowed, or that you as Admin might just have to edit the odd posts that are oversized.

yes of course but i would prefer an automated solution

Hey, I have exactly the same concern,

did anyone ever found the way to make that code appears exactly in a way that the picture is always fitted?

Thanks!

There's a plugin called Quick Upload (download v0.3: http://ru.b2evo.net/bstat/stat.php?plugin=qupload) which I wrote a slight modification to resize photos on upload. Check page 3 of the topic for the final mod code. Hope this helps someone else.

Or look in the forums for the image_fit_plugin that provides a javaScript / jQuery solution to this problem.

Good luck
