Generate image thumbnails

#1

Hello guys,

Has anybody came across a good solution to generate thumbnails on the fly on M4?

I’ve been including inline images via the markdown, hence I need something that can work from there. This shouldn’t be an issue if the file extension is .erb I guess.

The other complication I have is that I have had to build my custom link tag to get images spit out accordingly to the localised folder they belong to.
So my image tag looks like this

![](data:image/png;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAD/ACwAAAAAAQABAAACADs=){: data-src="<%= getBlogImage(current_page,"grafo.png") %>"}{:.imageContent}

and nothing between the most relevant solutions ([Clowncar](https://github.com/middleman/middleman-clowncar), [Middleman-images](https://github.com/zweitag/middleman-images), [Middleman-Thumbnailer](https://github.com/bastilian/middleman-thumbnailer), [Middleman-simple-thumbnailer](https://github.com/kubenstein/middleman-simple-thumbnailer)) seems to work as they all need the standard image_tag somehow.

Any idea?

I use middleman-thumbnailer. You can do something like image_path(thumbnail_url(data.image, :size)). You just have to overwrite the image_path helper to point to the localized folders.
