Thumbnail Helper

Permalink
Is it possible to use the image helper to create a thumbnail from an image URL or do you have to use a concrete 5 image object. How would I do that?

I'm doing this on a Page List Template. Here's my code to this point. I'm also VERY open to doing this in a better way, because I'm sure there's a better way to do this using the API...

<?php
defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die("Access Denied.");
$cArray = $pl->get($itemsToGet = 100, $offset = 0);
function callback($buffer){
  preg_match('/(http:\/\/){0,1}[A-Za-z.\/0-9-%_,]+[.]{1}[A-Za-z]+/', $buffer, $matches);
  $imgUrl=$matches[0];
  return "<img src='{$imgUrl}' />";
  // Here, I would like to output a thumbnail instead
}
?>
<ul id="inventoryList">
   <?php 
   $isFirst = true; //So first item in list can have a different css class (e.g. no top border)
   $excerptBlocks = ($controller->truncateSummaries ? 1 : null); //1 is the number of blocks to include in the excerpt
   $truncateChars = ($controller->truncateSummaries ? $controller->truncateChars : 20);

Hi usedearplugs,

What version of concrete5 are you using?
