Hi,
I am fairly new to CMS Builder. I am trying to have a section where I can upload a pdf or jpg and have this pdf or jpg as a thumbnail and have this thumbnail clickable to the path of the pdf or jpg uploaded.
This is the code I am trying to use but it only gives me a link:
<?php foreach ($vineyardmarinaRecord['image'] as $upload): ?>
<?php if ($upload['hasThumbnail']): ?>
<img src="<?php echo $upload['/common/images/logo.jpg'] ?>" width="<?php echo $upload['178'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['128'] ?>" alt="" /><br/>
<?php elseif ($upload['isImage']): ?>
<a href="/common/images/logo.jpg" class="non-html"><img src="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>" alt="" width="<?php echo $upload['width'] ?>" height="<?php echo $upload['height'] ?>" border="0" /></a><br/>
<?php else: ?>
<a href="<?php echo $upload['urlPath'] ?>">Download <?php echo $upload['filename'] ?></a><br/>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
I would really appreciate some help to see how I can make this work.
Thanks
JW

Hi there.
Thanks for posting!
What you are running into here is that thumbnails are only created for images. When you upload a file like a PDF, it doesn't have a thumbnail. What I think would work best here is if you just had a generic PDF logo or icon that displays for each PDF you upload. Then, just use that image as the link instead of plain text. Does that make sense? Basically, every PDF you uploaded would end up with the same image.
Let me know what you think and I can show you how to modify to code to work with that.
Thanks!

Hi JW,
Here's what to add so PDFs show a predefined image. The new code is in red:
Hope that helps!
