Curious if I'm able to use the resizer on a random, sourced image, not coming from a field anywhere.

So I would just be passing a string to the path of the image.

While transforms are an asset-only feature, you can get at all of the underlying image manipulation features pretty easily using the ImagesService.

$image = craft()->images->loadImage($imageSource);
$image->setQuality($quality);
$image->resize($transform->width, $transform->height);
$image->saveAs($targetFile);

  • Lovely! Looks like I just need a quick plugin to do this from Twig.

  • Any pointers on how I could get the two other transform parameters to work? mode and position

  • @peirix Not sure I’m following - probably worth posting as a new question.

  • @BrandonKelly I actually figured it out. What I was after was a way to send in width, height, quality, mode and position, like I would do with a regular assets transform. But I found that the $image will have both scaleAndCrop (which will take position) and scaleToFit.

No.

A transform can only be applied to an AssetFileModel, and there is no AssetFileModel for a random image.
