| fw resize font by bjude, March 22, 2007 |

For a considerable time I have been very keen to put this function on site. It installs easily and looks good however, it's been the biggest pain ever.
First, fixed tables were corrupted. I changed the template.
Second, different browsers treat text differently, so it appeared to work on IE7 and Firefox but there was trouble when using IE6, as here the table line was spoiled.
At last I found a table where it worked well, great, I felt good about creating a more accessible system.
Another function, Endurance log, also worked well but sometimes didn't fit the inner table due to oversized characters. Then plugin google map was loaded and this also showed oversized characters and 2 developers kindly spent time trying to fix their modules.
The reset on fwresize always fixed these oversized text problems and so as a test I took off the fwresize font and lo and behold! the other 2 modules then behaved perfectly. No horrid over sized fonts splashed across the page.
So despite my desire for equal access, this function stays off until a new version sorts these issues. I would not mind but this problem has been listed for some time both here and at joomla.org, I just had not read it carefully enough.
If you don't use these added features and select a div style template, it does do what it says, but not for me at the moment.

| Does Not Play Well by southern, March 21, 2007 |

Though I would love to be able to use this item, it will not work correctly with FacileForms on my site. If I view a page that has a form on it, it does not show up, but if I disable FW it comes back. This is an issue that needs to be worked on. Otherwise this might just do the job.

| Very useful tool by quiquedcode, November 7, 2006 |

This module is awesome.
Here's my to-do list:
1. Render the module [A+ | A- | Reset ] all centered.
2. In joomla, you have the possibility to show a print icon for each article. If you have a printButton.png in your templatename/images directory, joomla will render it instead the text link.
It would be cool if this mod had that possibility too, to render image buttons instead text, all automatically
All the rest, great !

| Nice tool - styles bug can be fixed with small hack by Miranda, October 28, 2006 |

Really nice. Works just fine, and if you don't want it to override your styles, just comment the last two lines in FWResizeFont.js in the modules directory:
/modules/FWResizeFont.js
comment or delete the following to lines (116 and 117 as in version 1.0):
window.onload = setUserOptions;
window.onunload = saveSettings;
(to the code wary among you, commenting it would make it look like this)
//window.onload = setUserOptions;
//window.onunload = saveSettings;
Hope it helps.

| Pretty good, needs minor improvements by korto, August 17, 2006 |

Two issues need to be addressed. The main one being that also mentioned by medienkombinat, that is the module actually overrides your css styles,and you end up having for example headings and content with the same font size. The other issue is a minor bug in javascript that results to massive font sizes as micoots has described. Overall a helpful module.

| Good, but not as good as can be by medienkombinat, June 20, 2006 |

This is a nice little feature for every website. But if you wanīt to use it within an real accessible site it isnīt good enough. The component sets inline-styles to all tags you have configured within the backend administration. The problem is, that the component makes no differences between the elements. So if you choose 11px as your bas font size all (!) defined elements are shown in 11px-size (even headlines and so on)...
Personally I prefer a nice real font-resizer (javascript, php).

I've reviewed quite alot of extensions and although this extension seems to be good, I haven't had the positive experiences others talk about below and wouldn't rate it as highly as others have.
I ran FWResize for about a month before finally getting rid of it. The problem it produces is that when you install other extensions, it/they don't play nice together and show MASSIVE font sizes, only to have me (the admin) go into the php script of the 3rd party extensions and either comment out or remove the "font size" settings on the displayed words/titles so that FWResize could control the sizes.
I thought this was because some bugs existed in the 3rd party extensions, when I finally spent the time to trouble-shoot the problem and discovered it was FWResize that was causing the issues.
Although I believe the principle of accessibility is important, this caused me more headache and administration than was actually worth it (afterall, all browsers I know of have the ability to resize fonts anyway).
My opinion, don't use until you have thoroughly tested it on your test site before putting it onto production.

Really very useful and good working script.

| Very nice by emircajic, May 3, 2006 |

I think I am going to incorporate this one in all my future pages, but I am going to modify it a little, since it is missing minimum and maximum values. Apart from that, works great.

| Excellent! by Bink, May 2, 2006 |

This module does exactly as it promises. It is very easy to install (no errors or manipulation needed). I wish more module descriptions were this honest (smile-joking), seamless and great!

| Ok, but... by eyezberg, May 2, 2006 |

Seemed like a cool module at first, but I had to remove it as it was breaking my template layout on initial page load.
Using the modules +/- buttons fixes the problems, but everything is off again on every new page.
Needs fixing and I hope it will be fixed.
