2 questions about resizing profile Images

Hi,
1) I set the profile image upload to mantain aspect ratio with cropping, but it seems it just crops the image, while in the profile page the image is oval instead of circle (image resize size is set to 120px for both height and width)

2)Is there a way to massively regenerate thumbnails? If image dimensions change after they are uploaded, the profile images keep the original thumbnail size...this could be a problem in case of site restyling

thanks for any answer:)

Rounded usage is just a CSS style. It's not going to crop the image to an actual circle. If it's oval shaped then the image is not squared. Looks like you tried uploading a portrait style photo with a significantly larger height than width and is why you're having issues. Edit the image field and set "Maintain Aspect Ratio" to "Yes, with User Cropping" and "Allow Client Resize" to "Enable" so you'll have better control over where it crops.

No, you'd need to use like a batch process in GIMP or Photoshop for that. If CB tried to do this on 99% servers it'd just crash the server as it's too heavy of an operation.

mmm, can I force users to upload square images?
Otherwise I can't control the width/height ratio of what my users will upload, and the layout would become a mess

Yes, use user cropping and set maximum width and height to a squared size like 100x100.

Thanks, that would be perfect but even setting the same value for w & h, the cropping mask appearing on the image seems to consider just the width limit, not the height (appears as vertical rectangle, not a square)

I've no such issues in my tests. Using the following ensures a squared image regardless of it being portrait or landscape.

Maximum Image Height: 400
Maximum Image Width: 400
Maximum Thumbnail Height: 200
Maximum Thumbnail Width: 200
Maintain Aspect Ratio: Yes, with User Cropping
Allow Client Resize: Enable

The above ensures a squared 400x400 image. If it's too small it's scaled up. If it's too big it's scaled down. User is then given a crop selection to select where to crop at.
