How to properly resize thumbnails using the php api

[Vincent]

 

I noticed that you can append the width and height you wan the image to be to the src url

http://very/long/foo?width=150&height150

 

what if i wanted to show the images the same way the ning site does, where portrait images aren't squashed to say 150 * 150 but rather are resized as on the ning site.

 

Or maybe do i need to apply some aspect ratio maths to the actual width and height of the image.

Hi Vincent,

You can apply just a width or just a height, and the image will be resized to maintain its aspect ratio. If you want to crop, you can apply a height and width and specify the crop parameter:  &crop=1:1

Thanks,

Phil

Thank Phil,

Some solutions are just painfully obvious when you're still trying to get on your feet.

 

Cheers

just specify one dimension if you don't want to crop e.g.

 

....?width=150 or ......?height=200

Ah, Phil got there before me!

Either way, its better than not getting a response, when you feel like you banging your head to a wall...
