    Default image size in rich text editor

    Hi everyone

     

    I see there are a few posts about this already but no solution

    I have just upgraded from 7.1.5 to 7.2.0 in a hope that this fixes this but it hasn't

    How do I change the default size (500px) of the images inserted in the richtexteditor ?

    Please help with this

    Eric

    Hi Eric

    You should be able to change the dimensions in the rich text editor datatype in "Developer -> Datatype -> Rich text editor". There is an "Maximum size for inserted images" option now, which by default is set to 500 pixels but you can now change it to be anything that you would like.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks Jan

    Yes you able to do that in version 6 with the Maximum default size of inserted images setting but in version 7.1.4 or 7.2.0 this doesn't exist anymore see attached screenshot

    You can set the dimensions oif the editor but this is the size of the editor when you are editing content.

    I have read somewhere this also controls the width/height but I have tried setting it to the required width or to 0 and neither of them stop the images from being resized to 500px wide

    Any further suggestions would be greatly appreicated

    Hi Eric,

    It sems that something went wrong in your upgrading procees. I have just tried setting up, a vanilla installation of Umbraco 7.2 and here you have the option of setting the default image size.

    What steps did you take for upgrading your in installtion?, did you see this http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/installation/upgrading/general documentation, and did you reember to compare the webconfig and the files in the /config. For compare files you could use the tool WinMerge

    Hope this helps,

    /Dennis

    Hi Eric

    Hmm, have you tried clearing the backoffice cache after the upgrade? As you can see from the screendump Dennis posted above it should be there.

    But I suspect you might need to go to /config/ClientDependency.config and increment the version number and then recycle the app pool to make it appear. If you did not merge the different files then that should be done as well as Dennis mentions too.

    Hope this helps.

    HI Dennis

    Thanks for you comments. It appears I can't seem to follow simple instructions. I misread the upgrade instructions and missed the section. Now that I have followed them correctly it is working

     

    Many thanks

    Eric

    I'm having a similar issue. I have already changed the default size in Umbraco's Data Type for the Rich Text Editor from 500px to various sizes and no matter what size I change it, when I insert an image and preview the page all the images in my Rich Text Editor show up as 100% full screen size. Even if I insert a tiny icon that's 10px10px it blows to it up to full screen and doesn't allow me to resize it to anything else. Is there another location to reset the default image settings for my Text Editor? and this issue is site wide. thank you
