Google Firebase API

Form Image Resize & Rotate

Insert & Edit Forms now include a Rotate Menu and Auto Resize Images on client size. Max size Image can be set from the Form Settings

Auto Resize: because Firebase does not include tools for resizing images at server side, Thorium now includes a client side image resize process. Just set up the maximum Width/Height in pixels from your form settings, and all images sent to Firebase will always be resized.

Rotation : Images taken on a mobile phone are rotated by using EXIF information, it means that they are not physically rotated but there is just an information within the Exif Metadata that indicates the rotation. Unfortunately, for PWA running on Chrome or Safari, this Exif Information is not used and images are displayed with the wrong rotation. TB 1.3.1 now includes a button that lets the user rotate the images physically before sending them to the server.

TIP

Important: existing project forms must be edited and revalidated in order to implement the new features.
