you can change <code>$bb_attachments['inline']['width']=590;</code> to whatever max width you want and it will resize it (note it will not change existing images - you can use overflow:hidden on your post content wrapper to hide overly large existing images if necessary)

Is there a way to limit the actual dimensions of an uploaded image with this plugin? The plugin works great the only problem I am running into is that some images being uploaded are wider than the width of the post area. Thanks!

Darn, I'm having dreadful difficulty getting this working on a 1.0 site :( Not so much asking for help here, just looking to vent my spleen about having to find a solution for a plugin which wasn't intended to work with the version of the software I'm using it with ...

The way bb-attachments works is after the file is uploaded to the server's temporary area (tmp) it examines it and if everything is okay, the last thing it does is use a special php function to move the file from the tmp area to the specified directory and rename it. It's possible 'document_root' is giving you bad info, so just change <code>$bb_attachments['path']=</code> to the exact full directory path as you understand it. You can run phpinfo from the webroot and then look at <code>_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]</code> to get an idea of what the real path it and then go one above the webroot and add the directory they created for you.

ok... i talked to someone from the host. they told me that they could create a folder for me. so there is a folder called "files" (with chmod 777) now, on the same level as the html folder. not quite sure if accessible from the domain though. i tried to do it with that folder, but maybe i didn't change the right thing in the plugin file. I did <code> $bb_attachments['path']=dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])."/files/"; </code> but there is this failure message. as i said, if i leave <code>$bb_attachments['path']=dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'])."/bb-attachments/"; </code> there is no failure message. even if the the folder doesn't even exist

<blockquote> my root directory is /home/www/web341/ and i can't create a new directory within that.</blockquote> If you cannot create a new directory with chmod 777, then you won't be able to use this plugin. It has to be somewhere, above /www/ is preferred for extra security but even below /web341/ is required - See if you can use your ftp program and make /home/www/web341/uploads/ and change perms to 777

i think i have a similar problem as stated above. my root directory is /home/www/web341/ and i can't create a new directory within that. having the plugin file not changed: everything seems to work fine, the file seems to have uploaded. But it did not, and clicking on it prevails a white page. haveing the pluging file changed to some working directory (with 777): failure message after trying to upload (not a php error message, just in the forum, right after the file name). s.th. i weird here
