Image thumbnail - useful tip - should be posted in the faq

Hello

For the past 60 minutes I am trying to find a way how to display an image thumbnail without the need of uploading a separate thumbnail for the same image. I couldn’t find this anywhere in the FAQ, or here in the forums, but this seems like an easy solution – you just add “t” after image ID:

<txp:image id=“1t” />

And this displays the thumbnail of the image you upload.

If this has been posted already, then sorry about that, but for me it seems like a nice solution.

Peace

PS. well okay i eventually found this:
http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Txp:thumbnail_/

but it wasn’t easy.

I didn’t know that :)

If it’s an article image you can also use (in the article form) <txp:article_image thumbnail="1" />.

<txp:thumbnail id="1" /> makes more sense, in my opinion, especially if you’re working with other people (ie. thumbnail is more obvious than “t”). I’d never seen the txp:image=xt before though.

Definitely bookmark the tag listing at Textbook — it is the reference for Textpattern tags.

haha :) nice trick eh ? :) figured it out by looking at generated thumbnail image properties – it said “1t” so i thought i’d give it a try – it worked..
anyway, i agree that <txp:thumbnail id=“1” /> is way more intuitive – and i will stick to that.

thanks Els and jm!
peace

You’d never hear about it because it is hackish (may cease to work entirely), and as mentioned, unnecessary.
