Create thumbnails from larger image

Hi

I currently have a detailed property listing with a large image (607px x 301px) which is uploaded to a field called "property_image_right". Is there a way to use this same image on a summary listings type of page which is scaled proportionally to 202px x 100px and not have to manually resize the image and upload it again? I'm using CMS Builder.

Thanks

Hi Degreesnorth,

I'm not sure that I understand your issue. Are you saying that the image is in a single record editor and not a multi record editor?

Usually, when you set up your upload field, thumbnails are (or can be) automatically created for each image. The size of these can be changed and recreated in the image validation area of the upload field editor for that image upload field.

In a multi record editor situation, a list page showing all the thumbnails is easily created using the code that is generated by the code generator for that table.

The style of that thumbnail display can easily be modified to suite your needs. There are many styling recipes in my CMSB Cookbook http://www.thecmsbcookbook.com that should help.

Best,
