Use the BigTree::prefixFile method to append the crop prefix to the filename to draw your crop rather than your default image.

Re: How to call cropped images to front end

Hi im not sure how to use the prefix function, can you give me an example?

for reference...this is a snippet of the code im trying to use it for, where $item["thumb"] is the picture an i've used the prefix "low".
        <? foreach ($portfolio_info as $item) { ?>
            <div class="col-md-4">
              <img src="<?=$item["thumb"]?>">
            </div>
        <? } ?>
</div>

Thank you

              <img src="<?=BigTree::prefixFile($item["thumb"], "low")?>">
            </div>
        <? } ?>
