## Description
#### Introduction
Hammy takes your regular content images (only within posts and pages, not custom
post types) and regenerates a number of smaller sized images. When a person visits
your website, it then automatically provides them with the most appropriate image(
or the smallest one possible). This makes for a better experience, especially on
mobile. This uses the new WP 3.5 image code.
#### Will it work on my Theme?
**Yes!** (the only exception being themes with no standard posts or pages)
#### How does it work?
When activated, the `` tag is replaced by the `` tag, and the alternate
image sizes are provided in a way that only jQuery can access/load. If jQuery isn’t
available, it falls back to the regular image you had there in the first place.
It also takes on any classes or alternate titles from the original image. It does
not make any changes to your database (i.e. content or images that you already have
remain untouched).
#### What else do I need to know?
* Supports Retina
* Uses WordPress 3.5 Image Code (no external dependency)
* You need to be willing to **spend a few minutes configuring and playing with
the breakpoints and choosing the correct parent container** to get it right.
* Hammy filters the output every single time, but only needs to generate a resized
image once.

## Installation
Video Walkthrough
Hammy already starts working upon activation, so any configuration is optional:
1. Upload the folder `hammy` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. (Optional) Go to Settings -> Hammy and review the options. Add the id/class of
the container that holds your posts (i.e. #content). Then add breakpoints that
are relevant to that container ( **see the FAQ for an example** ).
4. (Optional) Edit your theme’s CSS to add `figure.hammy-responsive`, in a way that
it is identical to any `img` styling used for your content area.
## FAQ
How does the post/page container setting work?
The width of your browser is quite different than that of the post/page container(
i.e. #content). By being able to measure the width of the content container instead
of the browser window, you’ll ensure far better accuracy at all breakpoints.
Breakpoints example?
If your website is 960px wide, but the content (#content) is only 600px, then `600`
is your largest breakpoint. If the next smaller size is iPhone landscape (where
the sidebar is also positioned underneath the content) and you have a 10px margin
on either side, that breakpoint is `460` (480 minus 20), and so forth.
At the end, your breakpoints may look like `300,460,600`
It doesn’t work with this gallery plugin or something else, what to do?
You have the ability to ignore certain classes (i.e. “.gallery-thumb”), but please
let me know of any edge-cases on the [Hammy forums](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/hammy)
How is Hammy constructed?
Hammy is possible through two awesome open source projects:
* [jQuery Picture](http://jquerypicture.com/) by [Abban Dunne](http://abandon.ie/)(
this script has been sligthly altered in order to be able to target a particular
container).
* [WPThumb](http://hmn.md/introducing-wp-thumb/) by [Human Made Limited](http://hmn.md)
They’re both worth checking out and getting a better understanding of (or using
in your mega-awesome WordPress client projects).
What’s with the squirrel?
Hammy, from the movie “Over the Hedge”, he’s quite fast, like these images. Be sure
to check out the movie for full appreciation.

[CalvT](https://profiles.wordpress.org/calvt/) 03 Setember 2016
Looks like WordPress has overtaken this plugin and left it in the dust – doesn’t
work on WP 4.5.1… No answers in the Support Forum, no update for over 2 years…
