Hi
I want to resize an image and use that resized images in 4 different fields. Currently we are uploading same image in different dimensions for Thumbnails, Slider Image, Permalink Image, facebook share image, so we have to create it manually and upload 4 times. It really slows down our work.
We want to upload one image and it will resize at fixed dimensions and set those images for Facebook image = image at top of permalink = large thumbnails = small thumbnails
Can anyone suggest?
This very functionality has been built into the ExpressionEngine since v2.2, I believe. Have you tried that? In the ‘File Manager’ under ‘File Upload Preferences’, towards the bottom there is the Image Manipulations section. There you can create multiple manipulations to crop/resize your images. Once setup, it will process automatically when you upload a new image.
You won’t need the 4 separate image fields anymore, just the main image field, then in the templates you’ll call what size/version you want where.
Hi
I have set the dimensions in “Image Manipulation” section as below:-
small_thumb - 140x175 large_thumb - 280x350 permalink_image - 480x640
I have then uploaded an Image there and use that Image in “{share_image}” field. Now, I am trying to access the thumbnails with the main image using following code, but its nothing display:-
{exp:channel:entries channel="features" status="open" limit="10"}
{title}
{share_image:large_thumb}
{body}
Hi
I am using EE 2.2 default “Image Manipulations”, set the dimensions of “crop” as Image: " alt="Crop Dimensions" />. Everything is working well, except the “cropping” thumbnail is not created from the centre, but is set left.
We’d prefer to have it set in the centre. Are there any settings or alternate modules to crop images from center of the original image.
