Adding images with API - not taking settings of field into account

[KarlvonKarton]

Is it true that when you add an image to the images field, that the image will be uploaded without taking the settings of that field into account?
So if I set the input of the images field to max width: 3000px, then an image of 6000px width will stay that size after adding it with the API?

What exactly do you mean with adding it with the API? Do you mean a file upload? Do you mean output? I think you are mixing input/upload and output here?!

$page->images->add($imgurl);

So my question is:
When I add an image like above, why this image is not resized to my setting in the field (set in admin).

Yes, it is true, because all of those settings are handled by the image inputfield and when you add an image via the API the inputfield is not involved.

So you have to do you own checks, resizing, etc. For some starting code take a look at my AddImageUrls module: https://github.com/Toutouwai/AddImageUrls/blob/bed9f2a910c3b120756e35e84ff734f345160bfa/AddImageUrls.module#L119-L171
