Image+ and Thumb3x

I learned about the Thumb3x component Thumb3x 3.0.6 | MODX and it looks great, also because the others present for MODX are quite dated.
I also use Image+ a lot, I wanted to know if TGhumb3x is recognized as a supported cropping engine, because when only Thumb3x is installed it keeps requiring a cropping engine.
Thank you in advance

Thumb3x is not (yet) supported by Image+.

I guess it probably wouldn’t be that hard to add the necessary code to Image+.
Another class (that extends AbstractCropEngine) would have to be added. Similar to the existing classes for PhpThumbOf, PhpThumbOn and PhpThumbsUp here:


I did take a look at Thumb3x some time ago. But I wasn’t able to find a (public) repository on Github for it. So it’s not clear where to report any issues that may occur.
Also when there is an error, the code seems to output some hard-coded russian text directly to the page, which I personally don’t like.

Thank you, as usual.
Thank you also for the information about sending code; I didn’t know that, and I agree with you, I don’t like these “hidden” things either.

If you like to add a PR with Thumb3x support for Image+, I can add that to a new release. The syntax of the options look quite similar, so it should be not a very large task.

If I ask you here, does it work the same way? :grinning_face:
I’m not very experienced with git and PR.
I think this could be useful to many people.
As a thumbler, MODX uses components that are over 10 years old, and this seems like a more modern solution that wouldn’t force Image+ users to download another thumb.
In general, what do you use as a thumb? Those 10-year-old components?
Don’t you use it? What do you use?
I’m curious. For many photos that are not uploaded directly, I use pThumb to crop them, change their format, etc., otherwise I would have very heavy pages.

(For the error logs in Russian, we will translate them.)
