Examples

Example 1

Put this in the single.php file

<?php

$thumb = get_post_thumbnail_id();
$img_url = wp_get_attachment_url( $thumb,'full' ); //get full URL to image (use "large" or "medium" if the images too big)
$image = aq_resize( $img_url, 560, 310, true ); //resize & crop the image

?>

<article <?php post_class()?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

	<?php if($image) : ?>
		<img src="<?php echo $image ?>"/>
	<?php endif; ?>
	
	....

Example 2

If you want to output a gallery, or a slider from a post. Let's say you're using this in a file called format-gallery.php

<?php

$args = array(
	'order'          => 'ASC',
	'post_type'      => 'attachment',
	'post_parent'    => $post->ID,
	'post_mime_type' => 'image',
	'post_status'    => null,
	'orderby'		 => 'menu_order',
	'numberposts'    => -1,
);
$attachments = get_posts($args);

?>

<div id="slider">

<?php

if ($attachments) {
	foreach ($attachments as $attachment) {
		$attachment_url = wp_get_attachment_url($attachment->ID , 'full');
		$image = aq_resize($attachment_url, 600, 350, false); //resize & retain image proportions (soft crop)
		echo '<div class="slide"><img src="'.$image.'"/></div>';
	}	
}

?>

</div>

Example 3

On some occasions, you may want to get width & height of the image. This is mostly the case for image types like logo, or if you're using the older non-HTML5 markup. In this example, let's say you're using an image uploaded from SMOF

<?php

$logo_img = $data['logo_img']; //get the original logo url
$logo_w = $data['logo_width']; ////
$logo_h = $data['logo_height']; // user defined width & height
$crop = false; //resize but retain proportions
$single = false; //return array

$logo = aq_resize($logo, $logo_w, $logo_h, $crop, $single);

?>

<?php if($logo) : ?>

<div id="logo" style="width:<?php echo $logo[1] ?>px;height:<?php echo $logo[2] ?>px">
	<img src="<?php echo $logo[0] ?>" width="<?php echo $logo[1] ?>" height="<?php echo $logo[2] ?>"/>
</div>

<?php endif; ?>

Example 4

It desirable (especially in the crop mode) to get only the image with the size You specified or no image at all and then react on that fact.

<?php

$original_image = $data['original_image']; // let's assume this image has the size 100x100px
$width = 110; // note, how this exceeds the original image size
$height = 90; // some pixel less than the original
$crop = true; // if this would be false, You would get a 90x90px image. For users of prior 
              // Aqua Resizer users, You would have get a 100x90 image here with $crop = true

$new_image = aq_resize($original_image, $logo_w, $logo_h, $crop);

// here comes the cool part: $new_image will be false in this specific example because of $width
if($new_image !== false) {
    // do whatever You wanted to do with that image
    echo '<img src="' . $new_image . '" alt="" />";
} else {
    // You didn't get the size You wanted. Now see, what You want to do. For example, try another
    // size or something...
}

?>
