Huot File Extension
Development and Programming
Sorry for the new topic, but I felt like I was going blind trying to go through the original thread for Mark Huot’s Files extension.
Anyway, I just want to know how to display the thumbnail created by the extension. Right now, when I use {article_image} it gives me the full URL for the full sized image, but I don’t know how to get at the thumbnail image.
Thanks.
Well, I just ended up scrapping the File extension, used the default file upload, and created two text fields in which to put the thumb and full-sized image. I love how flexible EE is.
We use PHPthumb to build all thumbnails.

It works perfectly with EE and the file upload extension.
Thanks for the reply!
Actually, creating the thumbs wasn’t the problem – I was just curious how to display the thumb. So, I had a field called article_image, and putting {article_image} in my template would display the full sized image, but I wasn’t sure how to also display the thumb that had been created.
Eric,
You simply add ‘_thumb’ to the end of your custom field. So {article_image} would become {article_image_thumb}.
Haha! OMG, that is so obvious. Thanks for pointing that out!
