Hi Maurice,

Currently, it's only possible to CMS Builder to create a thumbnail of an image file.

If you have a graphic that you would like to display for a zip or a pdf file, you can check the uploads extension field and then output that a corresponding image.

For example:

<?php foreach ($record['upload'] as $upload):?>
<?php if($upload['extension']=="zip"):?>
*OUTPUT ZIP GRAPHIC*
<?php elseif ($upload['extension']=="pdf"):?>
*OUTPUT PDF GRAPHIC*
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

Hope this helps

I have just implemented this but I need to limit the pdf graphic to just one, so for example if 3 pdfs are uploaded I just want to display one graphic. The url is:http://www.wildcountryconsultants.co.uk/cms/wildcountry_consultants_uk_courses.php
