Introduction

Images

Fast and flexible plugin of an automatic thumbnail creation for images of your Joomla content.
Many Joomla! users have faced the need to output articles in a category or section blog layout, especially multi-column, with smaller pictures while retaining their original size inside the article view. It may sometimes also be necessary to include a picture of reduced size accompanied with a link to the full size image in the article view.

SmartResizer plug-in is a universal solution to those needs.

This light plug-in creates two thumbnails for an image inside an article: the first is for inclusion inside the article and the second is for a category or section blog. This makes it possible to create a small thumbnail for a category blog, section blog and front page articles, and a midsize thumbnail for the article view. The plug-in also automatically creates a link to a full-size image if the picture has the thumbnail inside the article. The plug-in can create a third large thumbnail to open as the fullsize image. Nice feature, if a site upload photos directly from the camera with a very large size.

There are some features of the plugin:
- crop or fit image to thumbnail size.
- Auto ajust size of thumbnail, if you set only width or only height of thumbnail.
- Three ways to store thumbnails: in the same folder as original image; in cache folder; in subfolder 'smart_thumbs' of original folder.
- Processing of remote images.
- Three ways to open original image: popup window, Joomla SqweezBox, Highslide effect.
- Allows to show the caption under or above the thumbnail.
- Allows to overlay watermark (image and/or text) to images of your site

Supported image formats: JPG, PNG, GIF.
Languages: English, Russian, French, Spanish, German

Version updates:

version 1.40:
- Joomla 4 support

version 1.30:
- Improved plugin processing of the content of other components other than comcontent. Previously, some plugin calls by other components were not processed if the short call to the plugin content JHtml::('content.prepare', $ text) was used.

version 1.29:
- Now you can disable the opening of a full-sized image when clicking on the thumbnail image using the "No" option of the plug-in parameter "Full image display style".

version 1.28:
- Fixed error of processing images for which relative path was set instead of full path.

version 1.26:
- Improved compatibility with PHP 7+.

version 1.25:
- The ability to add a watermark to images not only in the form of a picture, but also in the form of text has been added.

version 1.24:
- Added default css layout for thumbnails of images in articles, blogs, as well as other Joomla components using the css file smartresizer.css.

version 1.23:
- Added the ability to automatically overlay the watermark on the images of your site. A watermark (your logo, name or URL of your site, etc.) will protect your images from copying, making their copying meaningless.

Perfect

A lot of my site consists of category blogs which contain reduced product photos which I want to be clickable to expand to full size. I like the fact that this plugin doesn't rely on Mootools because with J! 3.x it won't be needed. Awesome work!

A must have for pre Joomla 2.5 sites



Posted on 13 July 2012
I've got this installed on pretty much every one of my Joomla 1.5 sites. I'm amazed it's the only extension of its type.



Rather than try to create an image gallery plugin, it automatically creates small thumbnails for blog views, and larger images for articles (the advantage of using it in articles as well, is that all the images are a consistent size, so a user can't break a template design if they try to insert a big image).



It's better than using CSS to enforce a size requirement for an thumbnail image, as the plugin resamples to the correct size, saving bandwidth (you don't really want to have to load a 500kb image if you're only using it at 75x75px resolution).



It's simple to use, allowing sizes of images to be set for blog, article and other (those images that don't appear in the com_content component) and can be set to only resize images set with a class "smartresize", or to resize all images except those with the class "nosmartresize".



Individual images sizes for thumbnail images in blog view can still be set in exception cases - useful for images used on a homepage, for example.



Unfortunately, I've not been able to get it to work consistently in Joomla 2.5 - not strictly speaking its fault as it's only advertised for 1.6-1.7 - but it seems to randomly choose which images it works with.



So - essential (in my opinion) for most older sites, but one star knocked off until it works properly in 2.5.
Owner's reply: Thank you for detail review. The new version 1.15 is completely redesigned. The new version is more fast, code more optimized, Highslide and Joomla SqeezBox effects added, fixed the bug of processing images with uppercase characters in file name. New version completely tested for Joomla 2.5

Nice and easy!

Very nice plugin. Really easy to use. Has a lot of option in the plugin manager.

Excellent Plugin...with a little more features would be just perfect!!



Posted on 24 December 2011
It's simple: excellent. Increible easy to use, works perfect. The support is fast and excellent too.



Some "must have" on next versions:



- The hability to install or set two or more instances of the plugin...to make different resizes in different contents.



- Some way to ignore some contents categories or articles, instead of use the class nosmartresizer



- Ignore (or resize it making it sbigger) images smaller than the thubnail dimension. Now, it's shows an error.



- The class "nosmartresize" added to the html tag IMG could be little complicated to final clients. So I suggest that this class have to be assigned with tags {nosmartresizer}...{/nosmartresizer} or something like that.



- Include some type of lightbox by default.





I think that if the plugin have this things, would be the only one and the best!

I like the exception option



Posted on 24 September 2011
What I like most is that if all images are set for smartresize, you can make an exception just by adding the class nosmartresize. Works perfect and saves a lot of resizing trouble when you run a site with lots of autors.

Cheers!

Fairly good extension.

Fairly good extension, but lacks one aspect. No mootools support for image pop-ups.

Best thumbnailer for me!



Posted on 26 October 2010
Searched several thumbnail programs and settled on this one. Easy to install, works great, and code adapts easily. A perfect find for me. It will save me a ton of time.

Makes it very for easy



Posted on 24 May 2010
I had problems in the beginning just becaue I did not read the manual page carefully. It ended up being extremely easy. I don't find any cons for it but pros:

- Ability to thumb all images with exceptions or;

- Ability to thumb no image with exceptions

- Setting image size within the article, blog layout and other

- Giving images an automatic link to the article itself



Just a perfect thumbnailer! Thanks guys!

Excellent Plug-in But...

Excellent Plug-in But...

Thanks the author, this plug-in is great but I have some problems with it.

Before using this plug-in, I installed the JThumbs image resizer, but for some reasons after installation the plug-in, "SmartRESIZER" doesn't generate (resize) the frontpage (blog) and the articles and I have to resize them manually. Can anybody help me fix this?



Notes:

1- The plug-in works in "Localhost"

2- The JThumbs is uninstalled

3- The permission of all files and folders related to this plug-in is 777.



Thank you,
Owner's reply: Hello mansour.kashi. Please write to support forum with "Support" link above or write me directly with Contact form on my site (WebSite link above). I will try to help configure the plugin.
