Replacing thumbnails with 'medium' images

[koltira]

So I'd like to use resized images rather than square thumbnails. I did that by changing 'thumb' to 'medium' in embed.php. But then the images it gives me back are one image on each line rather than side by side. Where would I make the edit to change that please?

Thumbs are always being generated but the medium image isn't. Having said that, you need to change display_image from class.image.php

Another way is to change the size of thumbs to medium ones.

Actually, these are the lines:

        $display = $image['medium'] !== NULL ? $image['medium'] : ($image['size'] < G\get_bytes('500 KB') ? $image : $image['thumb']);
        $display_thumb = $display == $image['thumb'];

        $image['size_formatted'] = G\format_bytes($image['size']);
       
        $image['display_url'] = $display['url'];
        $image['display_width'] = $display_thumb ? getSetting('upload_thumb_width') : $image['width'];
        $image['display_height'] = $display_thumb ? getSetting('upload_thumb_height') : $image['height'];

Those control the image displayed in listings.

If you want to replace thumbs with medium, you could hack the system to you just populate thumb with the keys from medium. It will help a lot if you show me exactly what you want to achieve since the system is very big and there are like 4 instances of medium/thumb images.

That was how I ended up doing it, though you also have to change one of the js files because the 'medium' bbcodes are always given back to you after uploading one on each line rather than side by side, I'm not sure why they're not consistent like that.

So if you want a huge post of one image per line that works, otherwise that extra step is necessary.
