Thumbnail dimensions in the backend?

    First of all great plugin… I am using the plugin for one of my client’s, so he can keep sort of a register of his staff. And I was wondering if you are planning to make the thumbnails in the backend table customizable, so the images will have the same size/dimensions and not the original size/dimensions of the image, and maybe also center crop like featured images in posts?

    I’ve tried fiddling around with plugin and found this piece of code, but i can’t really get my head around it. The thumbnails will neither resize or be cropped. Do you have a solution. Thanks in advance! ??

    ` // Show thumbnail in Users table
    function wpua_show_column($value, $column_name, $user_id){
    global $blog_id, $wpdb;
    $wpua = get_user_meta($user_id, $wpdb->get_blog_prefix($blog_id).’user_avatar’, true);
    $wpua_image = wp_get_attachment_image($wpua, array(32,32));
    if($column_name == ‘wp-user-avatar’){ $value = $wpua_image; }
    return $value;
    }`

  • Hi, when you upload an image, WordPress by default will create a 150×150 thumbnail size of the image, but only if the original image is already larger than that size. You can change the sizes under Settings > Media. This won’t affect images that are already uploaded; you’ll have to use something like the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin to resize images already in your library.

    You can also manually crop and resize any images in your Media Library using the tools provided in there.

    The code you’ve quoted puts the avatar image in the Users table in the admin. It will take the thumbnail image and size it down to 32×32.

    Does this answer your question? Basically, the tools for resizing and cropping images are already built-in to WordPress.

    Thanks for the quick reply ??

    I am already aware of the thumbnail default size, and the plugin Regenerate Thumbnails witch i use on a daily basis.

    But the thing is that I am using the thumbnail size for the build in wordpress gallery. Is it possible to make a specific thumbnail size only for WP user avatar images. Maybe with the code below, or something similar?

    <?php add_image_size( $name, $width, $height, $crop ); ?>

    Thanks again! ??

    If you register a new size with add_image_size in the functions.php file of your theme, you can call that image size with get_wp_user_avatar. However, it’ll generate that size for every image in your Media Library, not just ones you use as avatars.

    If you upload images as a Contributor or Subscriber and “Resize avatars on upload” is checked in your WP User Avatar settings, the images will be resized before they are saved. This setting is only for Contributors & Subscribers because they use a simple uploader and not the Media Uploader.
