What is the best way to show a thumbnail image?
I am allowing the product image to be uploaded at a large size for a detail view but I need to show a small thumbnail (of the large image) in the cart and on the confirmation page.
How can I auto generate a thumbnail from the original large image?
I don't want to upload a second image...
Thanks!

Currently this is not a supported feature. We are in the QA phase for the next version of Digital File pro that will add image resizing and storing multiple copies of an uploaded image. However until that comes out in the next month or two it would have to be hand coded. PHP includes a library called GD2 that will allow you to manipulate and create images on the fly with php.

That would be a great feature to add.
I also use ADDT and it has an easy to use feature to "show thumbnails" using GD...
But I haven't found a way to use the two together...
