Create more images than a thumbnail

Hi,

Just wondered if there was a way to automatically generate a small and medium copy of an uploaded image as well as the thumbnail?
I’d want them to be the same size every upload.

Thanks
Geoff

Use Smart Image Resizer along with upm_image.

In the base site folder on your FTP server (one level up from the textpattern directory), copy the the image.php file and make a directory called “imagecache”, that is writable (chmod to 775). Works like a charm.

I use the following markup:

<img src="/image.php?width=220&amp;quality=95&amp;image=<txp:upm_img_full_url />" alt="<txp:upm_img_alt />" />

You can use that in conjunction with upm_image or upm_article_image tags.

You can check the support docs from Smart Image Resizer to make it do whatever you want. I found the image quality to be excellent, and better than that provided by lam_dynamic_image, which is another option.
