Create image type from module

[RomsWebDesign]

Hi guys,

 

I would like to know if there is a way to create a image type from a module installation.

If so, how ?

 

Thanks

you can create image with imageType class, you can do it with the same code as for other objects

 

$object = new ImageType();

$object->name = 'example';

$object->width = '200';

...

...

$object->add();

ok thanks.

After that I would like to generate categories images with this new image type.

 

When I talk 'image type' I would like to tell "image format".

 

In my module I want to create a new image format for categories and generate images too.

 

How can I do that ?

if you create new imagetype then regenerate thumbnails, pictures will be created automatically

hope that this is what you're asking for

I do not want any user intervention. 

I want everything to be automated during installation of the module.
