article_image shown as thumbnail

I want to upload normal sized images, but use a thumbnail image for the article_image.
Can this be done without a plugin?

I’ve looked around and haven’t found any topics here covering it.

Re: article_image shown as thumbnail

If your image is for example 3.jpg, the thumbnail will be 3t.jpg, so you can enter this in the article image field: http://www.yoursite.com/images/3t.jpg (note: use full url).

If you mean a tag like article_image, but output the thumbnail for it, then, unfortunately, not at the moment (you do need a plugin). This is fixed in svn; thumbnail ability for article_image will be available in 4.0.4.

cool! Thanks Mary (and Els).
I’m pretty new to TXP. Do you know the timeline for 4.0.4?

Not sure. There are still a few fixes that need to be worked in. Sencer may have a general idea of how far off it is.

Wait! So you need a plugin just to dynamically call for an article_image thumbnail? That can’t be right!

FYI Christopher, this thread is old. thumbnail wasn’t added till 4.0.4 (released 2006-10).
