I am seeing a change in v 2.07 as regards the display of the image thumbnails when viewing a list of records in the admin. In versions prior to 2.07 the field editor would display the image on the editor list at whatever size I indicated in the field editor for 'thumb'. Now it seems that all images are resized by CMSB to display at a maximum of 50 pixels wide.

I would like to either change the default maximum size or disable the resizing altogether. For many installations clients would like to view the image on the list page at a larger size without having to click.

Can this be done? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hey Deborah,

There is no setting in v2.07 to adjust list view sizes, but maybe there should be! I'll add it to the request list.

In the meantime, If you're comfortable with some code editing send me a mail to support@interactivetools.com and I'll show you how to modify your list view.

Thanks,
Robin

Hi Andy,

To change the default thumbnail size, when viewing a list of records involves modifying come CMS Builder code .

The file you want to modify is list_functions.php. At: /cmsAdmin/lib/menus/default/list_functions.php

Make a backup of that file first, just in case.

At (or around) line 533 there is the line:
showUploadPreview($upload, 50);

You can change the 50 to be another number, or to have it show the thumbnails actual size replace the line with this:
showUploadPreview($upload, $upload['thumbWidth']);

Note:
Any change to CMS Builder code will be overwritten in an upgrade so it is a good idea to create a custom code change text log so that you can make these changes again in the future if needed.

Hi Damon

Thanks for that - if I want to change the height as well, could you tell me where/how I do that also.

Thanks again
Andy
