Can Zenphoto be used to serve resized photos on another web page? | David Ing | November 17, 2009 | zenphoto forums - http://www.zenphoto.org/support...
Is there a URL (e.g. mywebsite.com/zenphoto/zp-core/something.php?image=filename&width=480) so that I could have Zenphoto serve up a resized image? I want to use Zenphoto as a webphoto server. I maintain my full-size photos (e.g. 5MP to 10MP) in a private archive using Qdig, and downsample (using Xnview) to 1024x768px images for webphotos that I ftp into Zenphoto albums. [....] The images will eventually show up in a Wordpress blog. I don't really want to use a Wordpress plugin (i.e. Zenphoto extension), because I'm writing some complicated HTML -- I use the Wordpress Shadowbox JS plugin -- so short tags would only make things more confused. [....] I've figured out that "a" is for album and "i" is for image, so the URI looks something like http://mydomain.com/zenphot... . - David Ing

A brief history of TimThumb | binarymoon.co.uk - http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2009...
Development was started by Tim (hence the name) one of the programmers at Category4 where Darren worked. Shortly after the release of Mimbo Pro, with Tims blessing, we decided to open source the code releasing TimThumb on Google code, and that's when everyone else started using it. Nowadays 95% of the premium themes teams are offering TimThumb support - and it's a great feeling, knowing so many are making use of code I worked on. I have now taken over development of TimThumb entirely which means that most new features and bug fixes come out of my requirements and findings. Of course I do check the issues list at Google code, but I probably don't do that as often as I should. - David Ing
Smart Image Resizer (PHP): a simple way to create thumbnails and more on the fly | shiftingpixel.com - http://shiftingpixel.com/2008...
The major advantage of this script is that it allows me to resize and crop any image on my website without touching the actual image or writing any code. I upload each image once at a high enough resolution and can then reuse it at any size I want, anywhere I want. It doesn’t matter if the images are in a post, on a page, or in a template file–it just works. All of the magic is done through the query string part of the URL in the src attribute of the img tag. - David Ing
