An extension to automatically scale down all new uploaded images in SilverStripe 3. If the uploaded image is larger than a preconfigured size, it will be scaled down. The extension also supports auto-rotation of JPG images eg: portrait images taken with digital cameras or cellphones.

• SilverStripe 3+
• GD support in PHP

Simply install the module. All images are (by default) scaled to a maximum size of 960px (width) X 800px (height), and auto-rotation (based on EXIF data) for JPG images is by default on. Please note that EXIF rotation only works if the uploaded image is larger than the specified values, and of course is present.

Create or edit a *.yml file in your mysite/_config/ folder (eg: mysite/_config/config.yml) and add & edit the following:

ScaledUploads:
  max-width: 960
  max-height: 800
  auto-rotate: 0

If you require larger images for a particular DataObject (such as full-page slideshows), but wish to keep all other uploads scaled to a pre-set default, you can simply add something like this to your DataObject:

public function onBeforeWrite() {
	Config::inst()->update('ScaledUploads', 'max-width', 1600);
	Config::inst()->update('ScaledUploads', 'max-1200', 1600);
	parent::onBeforeWrite();
}

If you need to bypass (skip) ScaledUploads for any particular reason, use:

Config::inst()->update('ScaledUploads', 'bypass', true);

or

ScaledUploads::$bypass = true;
