Calling [Filename]_Thumb

Hi,

I have followed the digital file pro to insert and update pages pdf but im having some problems.

I am doing a portfolio page showing the latest work using the lightbox. Now the problem that im having is that I got stuck on how to call the [Filename_Thumb] because in the digital file pro I set that when I upload the image it will create a thumb for it. I hope it is clear. Any help?

<a href="images/portfolio/web/<?php echo $row_PortfolioImage['PortfolioImg']; ?>" title="Title goes here"><img src="images/portfolio/web/thumbs/[How can i call the thumb?]" rel="web" alt="alt goes here" title="title goes here"></a>

What happens when you use:

<a href="images/portfolio/web/<?php echo $row_PortfolioImage['PortfolioImg']; ?>" title="Title goes here"><img src="images/portfolio/web/thumbs/<?php echo $row_PortfolioImage['Filename_Thumb']; ?>" rel="web" alt="alt goes here" title="title goes here"></a>



Does that not display the thumbnail?

No its not :(

Could it be that I do not have a second field in my portfolio table called PortfolioImgThumb?

If the main image upload folder is 'web', and the thumbs upload folder is 'web/thumbs', and if you set the upload filename for both image and thumb to [FileName], then both image and thumb will have the same filename (i.e. the name of the original image). You would reference one (Large) from the 'web' folder and the other (thumb) from the 'web/thumbs' folder.

So in your scenario, to reference the large from the thumb, you would have:

<a href="images/portfolio/web/<?php echo $row_PortfolioImage['PortfolioImg']; ?>" title="Title goes here">
<img src="images/portfolio/web/thumbs/<?php echo $row_PortfolioImage['PortfolioImg']; ?>" rel="web" alt="alt goes here" title="title goes here"></a>



Both would be 'PortfolioImg'. You wouldn't need another column in the table, as the image just has one name.

Also completely misunderstood you last time, sorry about talking rubbish.

In your DFP Upload server behavior where you set the thumbnail image properties you set the name for it here as well. The default is to add in _thumb to the [filename] value. If you are renaming the thumb like this then you should be storing this value in your db in another column. How are you setting the name of the thumbnail in the upload server behavior?

If your thumbnail has the exact same name but is just in a different directory you should be able to use the same recordset binding as you are for the link but just specify the thumbs directory, just like in neilo's last suggestion.
