How do I make the media folder display image thumbnails.

When I click to display thumbnails I simply get a file icon, not the thumb of the image.

I assume that this is not what is ment by thumbnail.

Any ideas?

(I'm guessing you are in the admin ...)
If you are viewing subfolders the folder icon appears. So go to a folder that has images in it, then you will see the thumbs
The content class determines what your icon/thumb is

I'm not sure I understand.

I've created an overide for the

design/admin/templates/node/view/line.tpl template.

In it I've included the following.

{if eq({$node.class_identifier, 'image')}

<a href={$node_url|ezurl} title="{'Node ID: %node_id Visibility: %node_visibility'|i18n( 'design/admin/node/view/line',, hash( '%node_id', $node.node_id, '%node_visibility', $node.hidden_status_string ) )}">{/section}{$node_name|wash}
	{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.item.data_map.image image_class=small}
</a>
{/if}

But this doesn't seem to work.

Can somebody point me in the right direction.

Thanks

Surely I'm not the only person who wants to do this?

Can anybody help?

Hi David

The template that deals with displaying the subitems of a node is admin/templates/children.tpl. And in there the template admin/templates/children_thunbnail.tpl is included if you selected the thumbnail view.

So have a look at these templates to solve your problem. It is working fine for me so I can't give you any tips where exactly to start.

Claudia,

You are right, it does seem to be using that template but instead of displaying the actual image it is display an icon that represents an image.

Maybe there is a settings file somewhere which says what icons are attached to what classes? Maybe such a file will also allows the actual image to be displayed instead?

Any ideas?
