Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I have set up a content type called "Photo" and I use ImageCache 5.x-2.3 to create two presets: photo_thumb and photo_large. I then use views and bonus views:Grid to create an image gallery that displays the thumbnails. When you click on a thumbnail, Thickbox opens and shows the larger image.
When Imagecache creates the new image, it places it in the /files/imagecache/image_large folder. Thickbox displays the image from where my new image field saved it which is /files/photos/
I know that there is some code to help thickbox work with Imagecache, but I am no sure if this works for the file path issue that I am having. Any help would be appreciate... even a temporary hack.
Thanks!
Kate

frjo commentedThickbox has built in support for imagefield+imagecache. You simply select the right formatter "Thickbox: [name of imagecache preset]".

nodecode commentedCould you further explain what you mean by this
Where do you select this? I don't see anything in the Thickbox settings? Does this have something to do with theming? I'd really love to try your suggestion, just need a little direction. Thanks.
PS. I am using Thickbox 5.x-2.1

frjo commentedSorry for misreading your question. I was talking about the settings "Display fields" settings on each content type (and in views).
But you where asking about the image that is displayed in the thickbox itself.
I the Drupal 5 version there are no options for this. I the Drupal 6 version there is a global option for selecting the imagecache preset to display in the thickbox.
For Drupal 5 you will need to override theme_imagefield_image_imagecache_thickbox() in you theme and adjust it to your needs. See Thickbox is not looking for the file in the Imagecache directory | drupal.org for information on that.
