Thumbnail size – width priority

Ok WP folks…I’ve figured it out after many tests.

This solution is for everyone that wants all thumbs be max. xxx width… no matter if image is 2:10 in proportion.

Replace my 120 value with width of your choice.

Her we go:

In inline-uploading.php comment out this:


if ( $imagedata['width'] * $imagedata['height'] < 4 * 1024 * 1024 ) {
if ( $imagedata['width'] > 120 && $imagedata['width'] >=

$imagedata['height'] * 0.2 )
$thumb = wp_create_thumbnail($file, 120);
elseif ( $imagedata['height'] > 150 )
$thumb = wp_create_thumbnail($file, 150);

if ( @file_exists($thumb) ) {
$newdata = $imagedata;
$newdata['thumb'] = basename($thumb);
update_post_meta($id, '_wp_attachment_metadata', $newdata,

$imagedata);
} else {
$error = $thumb;
}
}

and replace it with:

if ( $imagedata['width'] * $imagedata['height'] < 4 * 1024 * 1024 )
{
if ( $imagedata['width'] > 120 )
$thumb = wp_create_thumbnail($file, 120);

if ( @file_exists($thumb) )
{
$newdata = $imagedata;
$newdata['thumb'] = basename($thumb);
update_post_meta($id, '_wp_attachment_metadata',

$newdata, $imagedata);
}
else { $error = $thumb; }
}

then go to admin-functions.php and comment out this portion of code:

if ($image_attr[0] > $image_attr[1]) {
$image_width = $image_attr[0];
$image_height = $image_attr[1];
$image_new_width = $max_side;

$image_ratio = $image_width / $image_new_width;
$image_new_height = $image_height / $image_ratio;
//width is > height
} else {
$image_width = $image_attr[0];
$image_height = $image_attr[1];
$image_new_height = $max_side;

$image_ratio = $image_height / $image_new_height;
$image_new_width = $image_width / $image_ratio;
//height > width
}

add this instead:

$image_width = $image_attr[0];
$image_height = $image_attr[1];
$image_new_width = $max_side;

$image_ratio = $image_width / $image_new_width;
$image_new_height = $image_height / $image_ratio;

That’s it. Now all thumbnails will follow the 120 max width rule. Just replace 120 with width of your choice.

I think that this post can be marked as resolved ??

It’s really interesting that finding a solution to this problem was really a pain in the ass. I was able to find solutions and help on this forum to more obscure problems.

Thmubs up for integrating thumbnail handling in next release of WP – the greatest tool that web ever seen.
