SmartResizer PluginLanguage

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 reference to a full-size image if the picture has the thumbnail inside the article.

Supported image formats: JPG, PNG, GIF.

- some bugs fixed

Exellent for forcing all front page images to be the same size.

Just needs a way to turn it off on specific images - I have a section where it is thumbnailed and I want the whole image.
Also doesn't work for gifs - must use a jpg or png image format.

You can use "nosmartresize" command in "class" or "id" image property for turn off plugin on specific images.

I was desperately looking for a script like this. I tried another, similar plugin but it failed to meet my clients request.
This one resizes all (optional)images in blog view relative to width/height or does squares.
I do not need to worry about authors breaking the layout.
Perfect for my needs, highly recommended to all who want to keep a clean layout but are expecting contributions by low skilled users.

Thanks to the developer!
