For the next release of OneCMS (2.6.4) we're planning on including TimThumb support. TimThumb is a powerful thumb-nailing program built using PHP. The program uses cache on the fly technology with a twist, instead of simply discarding the image after displaying it the image gets saved in a cache folder. Thumbnails are only generated when you attempt to load an image with the thumbnailer attached to the url tag.
The benefits of this method include,
- Ability to delete cache folder and regenerate images instantly
- Better resource management (if you ever need to change image sizes for instance)
- It's free!
OneCMS 2.6.4 will release when it's done, until then enjoy 2.6! Currently OneCMS simply uses HTML to resize images (yes, we know!).
