####Usage#### Call the snippet from resource or chunk:

[[friendlyThumbOf? &input=`media/logo.jpg` &mode=`thumb`]] 
/* will generate a url like http://mydomain.com/image/thumb/media/logo.jpg */
[[friendlyThumbOf? &input=`path/to/my/image.jpg` &mode=`anotherMode`]] 
/* will generate a url like http://mydomain.com/image/anotherMode/path/to/my/image.jpg */

For CMP, like gallery or image browser, the snippet also can be used to display the thumbail. For example:

<script type="text/javascript">
var thumbUrl = "[[friendlyThumbOf? &mode=`thumb` &base=`1`]]";
//will generate http://mydomain.com/image/thumb (without trailing slash)
var imgGallery = ['gallery/photo1.jpg','gallery/photo2.jpg'];
Ext.each(imgGallery, function(img){
  document.write('<img src="' + thumbUrl + '/' + img + '" />');
});
//...

Another example is using runSnippet to get the base thumbnail url:

<?php
$thumbUrl = $modx->runSnippet('friendlyThumbOf', array('mode'=>'anotherThumb', 'base'=>1));
/* will generate http://mydomain.com/image/anotherThumb (without trailing slash) */
$imgGallery = array('gallery/photo1.jpg','gallery/photo2.jpg');
foreach($imgGallery as $img) {
  echo '<img src="' . $thumbUrl . '/' . $img . '" />';
}
//...
