Oh boy - a client calls me earlier today. "What's wrong with my site? My images page is crashing my browser/computer."
The "Images" page has an admin behind it where the client can add thumbnails (defined as 150px x 150px), which obviously links to a detail page with description. I don't have any specific code on the admin page that limits image size, but the instructions, right next to the d*mn file field clearly says in bold red "Thumbnails must be 150px x 150px". I go check the site. The very first thumb take forever to paint up, and shortly after that, the browser just gives up about 7 images down the page. I check the first on - it's a 2500px X 2500px image that's almost 3 megs!!! Holy crap!! OK, the client is an idiot. Why did I spend time training them to use the admin? I dunno! What's the damn red warning about image sizes doing on the page right next to the input field? Nothing, I guess. AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I gotta FORCE correct sizes and/or resize the images when they upload them. The client is just too dumb to get it right on their own. The site is running CFMX on a shared Linux server - so I can't add anything or set paths through the CF Admin or anything like that - and many of the custom tags I've already looked at need java libs and stuff. Whatever I do has to be local to just this one site.
