Image size in CKEditor / Body

[Bike]

Hi everyone,

I insert images into a textarea where I keep their original upload size (about 1200px in width), so that when I eventually open them up on the page they will show up as large as possible in a lightbox.

How can I achive that all images are output as a thumb in the first place? For image fields that I have control about I would use $img->size() but since everything is packed into that $page->body field I don't know how to get in there?!

In the end I want something like:

<a href="url_to_original.jpg" data-fancybox>
  <img src="url_to_thumb.jpg">
</a>

That a-tag however I build around the image during output with some str_replace since I don't know how to do this in the right way either ? It works anyway but all that image-in-a-body thing is quite a mystery to me still.

I'd be grateful for any help!

Hi @Bike 

 There is Textformatter type of modules that are applicable in such cases.

You can take a look at this module https://github.com/Toutouwai/TextformatterProcessImages from @Robin S 

Probably it can suit your needs or at least you can use it as a staring point.

Thanks a lot @Zeka!

This does the trick for me ?
