Is it possible to have image resizer replace our existing different sized image folder structure?

Question

Our current image folder structure consists of the same image at different sizes for use within our website

Content/thumb/5316.jpg

Content/ShotView/5316.jpg

Content/miniview/5316.jpg

Content/Full/5316.jpg

Is it possible to have imageresizer handle/rewrite the requests to the smaller size images as calls to the Full image with default height/width parameters depending on the folder selected can I do this via a combination of IIS virtual directories and default settings?

So we could retain our existing structure but as products change we would only need the 1 original image?

Answer 1

All you would need is some URL rewriting; no need for Virtual Directories.

The Config.Current.Pipeline.Rewrite even will let you parse and edit the path and querystring in code, which is the most flexible solution.

IIS URL Rewrite, however, is also capable of solving your problem.
