[solved] Resize or scroll enable large images in wiki

[kamalakshantv]

It seems wiki doesn't resize or provide option to scale large images.

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/QtCreatorWhitepaper

In the above link it seems images are trimmed on the right side as it doesn't fit on to the screen.

yes that will be a good feature to have, while linking the image I should be able to specify the w,h too

[DenisKormalev]

chetankjain, and autoresizing to fit screen will be good too (when w,h not specified or specified bigger than avail space).

Thank you for reporting this, we are looking into it.

We have a "function imgFitOnLoad" script for the forum, I guess we can use that for the wiki as well?

Would prefer it to be handled automatically. Although additional support to specify w, h will be a nice to have feature.

I would prefer scaling down the images to a reasonable size in the wiki (big images can really break the layout) and provide a link on the image that opens it in original size in one of these popular image popups.

A CSS style like the following should do the trick:

@max-width: 100%;@

The image can always be linked to the source image. Having LightBox would also be nice - this way, bigger images can be displayed while staying on the page, but when JavaScript is disabled, the link still goes to the original (full-size) image.

[kamalakshantv]

Yes, and may be on clicking the image one can view the full size image on a different page.

[DenisKormalev]

QtK, way suggested by thp is better I think. A bit of lightbox will be really nice here.

A solution to this went live yesterday, cheers :)

What does it do exactly? From what I've seen, it seems to restrict the size to a certain amount, but there is no link to show the image in its original size. Right?

Right, it solves the image breaking out of the page.

Any chances of getting a lightbox in, too?

Not at the moment, for every .js library (or jQuery plugin) we add to the site the work per release jumps up a notch. So unless it's a key requirement we would rather wait with another js. lib in the mix. Also they usually bring with them all sorts of funny cross browser issues with IE7 and IE8.
