Image Upload tool inserts thumbnail size only?

  • I’m digging the Upload feature on the admin Write Post page, but here’s the problem I’m having:

    I choose a file, I type a title, I click “Upload.”
    The file uploads fine, and a thumbnail is displayed under the “Browse” tab.
    I click on said thumbnail, and the list of options comes up, starting with “Using Thumbnail.” If I select “Send to editor” at this point, it inserts into the “Post” box the code for the [filename].thumbnail.jpg image, the “img” tag for which includes the “height” and “width” dimensions for a thumbnail-sized image.

    If I instead click on the thumbnail under the “Browse” tab, switch “Using Thumbnail” to “Using Original,” and then click “Send to editor,” it inserts into the “Post” box the code for the [filename].jpg image, but the “height” and “width” dimensions specified in the “img” tag are still thumbnail-sized. I’d like the “h” and “w” to be the actual size of the original image file

    Anyone?

  • Dreamchaser,

    My org’s blog is at:

    I’ve been using IE 6.0 and 7.0 (beta) and neither worked. Let me try Netscape quickly — if you want to skype me (daveschappell)

    aha!

    It is an IE issue — with Netscape, it works perfectly.

    In fact, the strange thing with IE is that when I click ‘send to editor’, it actually doesn’t put it right up into the post. Rather, it puts in in a little window right above the ‘Upload’ section and then I have to drag the thumbnail sized photo into the maid post editing section. With Netscape, when I click ‘Send to Editor’ it puts the large/original size photo right in the post.

    That helps — thank you.

    This should be a sticky.. I think many people are searching for this answer. It’s really a IE problem.

    Glad I found this and thought it was me. This is very confusing and rather deceptive funtionality.

    As already stated if it states ‘original image’ than thats exactly what it should be, rather than the same size as a thumbnail.

    Iv only just started using wordpress with the sole aim to allow some non html people to edit and upload content to a site. Now I have to upload the images via FTP and tell them where they sit. Adding a whole extra piece of work to a workflow which should be very simple.

    Is there not a plugin or something which can be edited to allow it to work as it says without all these tedious work arounds.

    Thanks

    Okay I had the same problem for a website I made with wordpress at my work. I found a solution which I hope is working for more people ??

    open: wp-admin/inline-uploading.php in your favorite editor and go to line: 246

    change:

    imga[{$ID}] = '<img id=\"image{$ID}\" src=\"$src\" alt=\"{$title}\" $height_width />';
    imgb[{$ID}] = '<img id=\"image{$ID}\" src=\"{$image['guid']}\" alt=\"{$title}\" $height_width />';

    to


    imga[{$ID}] = '<img id=\"image{$ID}\" src=\"$src\" alt=\"{$title}\" $height_width />';
    imgb[{$ID}] = '<img id=\"image{$ID}\" src=\"{$image['guid']}\" alt=\"{$title}\" />';

    this will remove the height tag in the image insterted via IE. It seems to be working on my site, so it probably will for yours too.

    It does also change the size of the image in the place where the image menu is (so, over the thumbnail) but nothing bad cuz overflow is hidden (so it seems)

    I just ran into this, send to only inserts the thumbnail when using IE6 & IE7 but it works just dandy in FireFox 2 ??
