Way to Auto-Compress Uploaded Images in Gravity?

Gravity Support Forums » Plugin Support » Gravity Forms

    Our form requires people upload some pictures ~ 4 inside Gravity.
    Just wondering if there is a way to auto compress uploaded images before it sends it out as email. Sometimes the uploaded jpg's are 4MB+ and this is a pain to download.
    ideally we would love to somehow use Yahoo Smush it plugin (already installed in wordpress ) to auto-smush the uploaded images..
    Any suggestions?

    You could use the gform_pre_submission_filter to compress the image, then send the compressed image in the email, rather than the uploaded image.

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I took a look at that method may work.
    Is there any documentation on how that filter can be used to compress image?
    Thx

    The filter itself does not compress the image. You will need to write a function in PHP to do the image compression (using built in PHP functions or libraries, or to use an external service like smush.it) and then the gform_pre_submission_filter will be used to run your code at the correct time.
