Instead of using Timthumb for image resizing I am trying something new: BFI Thumb
It seems easy to use. Here is an example:
$params = array( 'width' => 400 );
echo "<img src='" . bfi_thumb( "URL-to-image.jpg", $params ) . "'/>";
or like this:
$params = array( 'width' => 870, 'height' => 478 );
$image = bfi_thumb( "URL-to-image.jpg", $params );
echo "<img src='$image'/>";
But now I want to replace “URL-to-image.jpg” with a standard PHP ACF image snippet. For example: <? the_sub_field('start_diashow_image'); ?>
Since I don’t really know PHP I can’t get it working …
Has somebody an idea how to morph ACF and BFI Thumb together?
Many thanks in advanced!
Okay, the solution is really easy if you know basic PHP: Here we go:
<?php
$params = array( 'width' => 870, 'height' => 478 );
$image = bfi_thumb(get_sub_field('start_diashow_image'), $params); echo "<img src='$image'/>";
?>
“get_sub_field” is the key 🙂
This works awesome! Any idea how I might also pull the image ALT attribute along with it?
