freshizer - Custom WordPress Image Resizer with Cache

Hey guys,

I just finished new resizing script for WordPress, which should work in 100% cases (not like timthumb where there are plenty of troubles with permission )

You can find the script on github here:

Usage:

include 'freshizer.php';
// not fixed height
echo fImg::resize( 'http://domain.com/wp/image.jpg', 200, 200, false );
// fixed height
echo fImg::resize( 'http://domain.com/wp/image.jpg', 200, 200, true );

The last two (height and fixed) parameters are optional. This script goes with automated caching, so you will be not overloading your server. Also this script does not even connect to your database, yay

/wp-content/uploads/freshizer/

Please note that you can only resize images saved in the same WordPress installation

Great work mate, is it allowed to redistribute?

Yes, of course But please keep it under the same name and with that license. It would also be nice if you credited us (freshface) as the script author somewhere, with a backlink to this thread or something, but I will leave that up to your discretion guys

Yes of course, the author is always respected

i’ll will try it in my next project

Just a quick note, overseeing the code. Never use private statement, if you want to make this class expandable.

If somebody would want to use your class but doesn’t want to break update compatibility and extend your class, he may want to override some of your methods. But you can’t override private ones

Better use protected. Doesn’t allow access from outside but makes it expandable.

Nice work, btw

Looks great!

Look forward to trying this out, thanks

Thank you, I’m actually not so much experienced with programming in team. So I just declared all private methods as protected, then everyone can implement it own inherent class

Can’t wait to test it

wait, what’s your github username

LOL Cool name!

Great stuff BTW

Oh wow, thanks! I’ve been working on my own Timthumb alternative, which works, but I can’t say 100% that it will work for everyone. (but I really think it does). Now I come across your script… I think I’ll use your script since you seem more confident than me that it will work with 100% of users. I won’t wait to use it on a new theme… instead I will upgrade an existing one.
