Easy image thumbnails in v2.0.27

[sacjohn]

Ok sorry everyone for not posting here, but I was having trouble getting my account established here so I posted the full walkthruogh as a discussion in the ScrewTurn Wiki Here:

http://www.screwturn.eu/PageEditing.ash ... Redirect=1

Basically it describes a method that I use to allow Screwturn wiki to display thumbnail images by using a simple parameterized snippet. The snippet will automatically point the thumbnail to the larger source image. The link above provides much more in-depth information.

Here are the basics:

1. Create a snippet with the following code:

Code: Select all

[image?1?|?2?|getthumb.aspx?image=?3?&big=?4?|{UP}?3?]

2. Now use reference the snippet this way in your pages:

Code: Select all

{s:snippetname|alignment|title|filename|sizeflag}

Where:

"snippetname" = the name of your snippet.
"alignment" = "left", "right", or "auto"
"title" = the title of your image.
"filename" = the name of the file in your upload directory (do NOT use the {UP} prefix!!!)
"sizeflag" = "0" for smaller thumbnail, "1" for larger thumbnail

You can also see an live example of how this technique works here:

This works great!!!... but

How do I point to a folder with in my upload dir?

\TEMP\Servers\server.jpg

I sort all my images..

Good question.

I tested this and it worked on my wiki. Just use this syntax:

Code: Select all

dir\filename

In the snippet format, it would look like:

Code: Select all

{s:thumbSnip|auto|Test Thumbnail|files\Blue hills.jpg|1}

Thank you... works great...




Would it be cool.. to have a "hover over" to show the thumb nail.. Just a thought..

After upgrading to STW 2.0.35, the snippet automatically wraps all content after it. It works ok in 2.0.34. Any idea how to fix this?

The following code produce the linked image.

Code: Select all

Make sure to provide a project unique standard installation number before adding standard installation.

Standard Installations must be added against a discipline.

Steps
#Login to MMS
#Select a discipline
#Navigate to [discipline] -> MTO -> Manage -> Standard Installation
#Click on tab ''Add Standard Installation''
