Re: Textpattern feature question...

yes you can. if you have a more complex setup you might need a plugin but creating a thumbnail and having it link to a specific article can be done out of the box.

Re: Textpattern feature question...

It’s possible, but you don’t need a plugin (read the TextBook).

1. Content > Images: Upload an image
2. Enter dimensions for the thumbnail (just fill out the width or height only to constrain proportions)
3. Take note of the image id (eg. 2)
4. Content>Write: Write an article. Advanced options>Article image>enter the image id
5. Presentation>Forms>default (if you’re using the default template):

<txp:if_article_list>
	<txp:permlink>
		<txp:article_image thumbnail="1" />
	</txp:permlink>
</txp:if_article_list>
