Limit Space Taken Up By Attachments (Total)

Use this option to limit the total combined amount of disk space in bytes that all attachments can occupy.

Set the option to 0 to have no disk space limit.

Variable Name: attachtotalspace
Data Type: number
Default Value: 0

Number of thumbnails to show for photo posts

The number of thumbnails shown before opening the lightbox on photo posts (minimum value = 1, maximum value = 15)

Variable Name: attatchgallerythumbs
Data Type: integer
Default Value: 3

Resize Images

If an image is larger than your maximum allowed dimensions or file-size, an attempt to resize it will be tried. This may fail if the image is too large to be successfully processed or if the image type is not supported for resizing. When this option is enabled, you should limit the Attachment Input options above to one, otherwise the uploading of multiple large images by one user could strain your server.

Variable Name: attachresize
Data Type: number
Default Value: 1

View Attached Images Inline

Only affects the “Attached Files” box.

If thumbnails are enabled, thumbnail creation will need to be enabled in the next option.

Set this to ‘No’ if you want to preserve bandwidth or server processor resources.

Variable Name: viewattachedimages
Data Type: number
Default Value: 1

Thumbnail Quality

Quality of JPG thumbnails. 75 is a good balance between file-size and image quality.

Variable Name: thumbquality
Data Type: integer
Default Value: 75

Enabling this option will turn on the Advanced Insert Image Dialog, which will allow users to insert images from the computer, or retrieve images referenced from a URL and store them locally. Disabling this option will display the legacy from URL attachment dialog.

Variable Name: advimagepopup_enable
Data Type: boolean
Default Value: 1

Attachment Resize Options

Several image sizes are created on demand for uploaded images. The max dimensions for each size are defined here. Defining a size as “0” will result in that type returning the full size image.

Default Value: a:5:{s:4:"icon";i:32;s:5:"thumb";i:121;s:5:"small";i:204;s:6:"medium";i:330;s:5:"large";i:0;}
