Brief Description:
Snippet to resize on the fly an image for galleris, etc.

Hello,

I’m sorry but this snippet is not interpreted in my case :

can you tell to us the exact installation procedure ?

My call snippet in a chunk :

<img src="[[MiniPhoto? &file=`assets/images/myimage.jpg` &width=`100` &height=`100` &quality=`93` &dir=`mini`!]]" width="100" height="100" alt="" class="myimage" />

And the mini rep is created with myimage.jpg thumb.

But the result is :

<img src="" width="100" height="100" alt="" class="myimage"">

It seems that you need a method to resize your images. Try DirectResize, link is in my signature.

Thank you Metaller.

No, i just want to install MiniPhoto correctly, because the snippet don’t work in my case. I just need a expand effect like MiniPhoto..with two files i haved : a smaller and a bigger image...

I have tested the snippet HighSlide(http://modxcms.com/HighSlide-ext-1-1643.html) .

Very nice but a little complex just for this need....

Thank

You must let PHP "write" to the folder where your images are stored.
Set 777 for this folder.

To install this snippet you should:

• Download and extract snippet to assets/snippets/ folder
• Create new snippet called MiniPhoto and copy to it contents of assets/snippets/miniphoto/miniphoto.tpl
• Where you need execute created snippet, for example <img src=”[[MiniPhoto? &file=`[*docimg*]` &width=`200` &height=`200` &quality=`93` &dir=`mini`]]”> this is part of template that creates thumbs 200x200 pixels from docimg TV.

By default snippet writes images to /assets/images/mini directory that must be created manualy and must have write permission.

Also i noticed that script have one bug, if i change width or height it does no make new thumb. To correct this problem you may change line 27 of your snippet from

to



Thanks for good snippet!

Update version to 1.2

Use http://modxcms.com/DirectResize-0.8.0-1804.html

Thank you for this Snippet. It is very simple and does just what I need it to! I looked at the DirectResize, but it had more features than I needed, watermarking, modals, etc. If you just need to make it easier to upload large images and resize them on the fly then this is perfect!

Hey, all I can get is the "no photo" image. I’m using a TV for the image and I uploaded one in the TV slot, but it won’t show. Do you need to/need to not use the image widget? Is it a problem with calling the snippet from a Chunk?

When I put the value of the TV directly into the snippet, it works, but when I use [*tvname*] in the snippet, I get the "no photo" image. Suggestions?

Thanks for any help, I’m new.

PS- I’m trying to use this with slimbox, so if anyone has suggestions for the easiest setup, let me know.

PPS- I’m using MODx 1.0
