I am moving a site over to using Rasa2 which previously used a JA Teline IV template from JoomlArt. There was one functionality we did like from JoomlArt which was a plugin which would take whatever image we uploaded and resize it to something we specified. this is really helpful because some of our editors have a hard time dealing with re-sizing images.

I wish that ZenTools2 plugin could do some magic like this. Basically we are wanting to create a thumbnail in a particular size but ALSO to create the image within the Joomla Articles to also be a specific size. This is something I could easily do with K2 but they donot want me adding K2 to this site.

I see where is one tool in the JED called ImageResizer that has some very happy and some very unhappy users. I am wondering if any of you have a favorite tool for re-sizing and creating uniform images within Joomla articles.

Thanks for any ideas you might have!

Hi Sean,

Was it this one?

extensions.joomla.org/extension/smartresizer

A few users have used this with mixed results

I'd make sure the client sticks to the specification you would give them for images e.g. not too small and not huge (I have known users to do crazy stuff with huge images)

Cheers

Hi Paul,

Yes, that is the one I was looking at. I see the ratings are not too great. but, I know somebody who uses it. However they are wishing it came from a more reliable vendor and would prefer a commercial product.

We could also use JCE editors extended image manager but they prefer to stick with TinyMCE editor.

Thanks for replying. I wonder if anybody else has has some experience with this.

Hi sean
Try this plugin, works for us.

It is fairly flexible if you think it through and read the instructions fully, plus can be used in some rather more advanced ways.
