Two requests

I agree with #1! :) I think that functionality would be very useful.

For #2, you can do that with CSS. On the main project page, there is some code the maintainer posted. You put that code in your template.php file (if your theme has one, if not, you can create one.).

function phptemplate_teaserthumbnail_thumbnail($node, $attributes = null) {
  $thumbnail = $node->teaserthumbnail;

  // We define if we prepend a thumbnail to the teaser
  if (!empty($thumbnail)) {
    $preset = variable_get('teaserthumbnail_preset_'.$node->type, '');
    $preset = empty($preset) ? variable_get('teaserthumbnail_preset', '') : $preset ;
    $thumbnail = theme('imagecache', $preset, $thumbnail, $node->title, $node->title, array('align' => 'right'));
  }
  
  return $thumbnail;
}

Where the code says at the very end array('align' => 'right')); you can change that to array('align' = > 'left')); or even to a CSS ID or class like so: array('class' => 'enter-class-name'));. Once you've created a CSS ID or class, you can add borders to the teaser thumbnails, margins, padding, etc. or whatever you would like to do in CSS. You simply reference the class or ID from this code in your CSS.

For Views, you probably can find the ImageCache preset in there somewhere...

Hope this helps! I love this module. It's just what I needed.

That also looks like a few more than two requests. ;-)

Interesting feedback: I'll go through it tomorrow and add some features, however I am not sure if getting the settings done on a node basis; I liked the simplicity of the concept and starting to propose people with the choice of the thumbnail source, alignment, etc, for each node may clutter a bit the workflow.

I'm also stuggling with point 4

I have a page of teasers created with views that is diplaying the small thumbnails perfectly

How ever I also have a side bar block displaying the same teasers with jcarousel and in this the images are showing full size.

It would be really nice is thumbnail_image was selectable as a field within views

Sorry for that: it seems the view support was broken in my latest version. I'll commit a fixed version tomorrow when I have time to dig in the code.

For the people that required the views support: I don't know how I managed to do so, but I had dropped the lines of the hook_init that included the views files into the module. I put it back; you should be able to test it from the development snapshot as soon as it is built by the cron. I'll roll this change out with the next version that will integrate some of the requests that were made.

Sorry I might be missing something here but is this fix now int he Drupal 6 version of the module? Yuo mention a development snapshot - does this need to come from somewhere different?

I will wait like a good boy.
Views integration it's like holly grail for me. I don't know how it will be (I didn't used this module until now) but I'm thinking to display the teaser thumbnail as a field in more than 1 views at different sizes controlled by image cache.

I just published new versions of the module (both for D5 and D6). On the list of new features:

• Put back a class by default on thumbnails for theming,
• Option to align to left or right if needed,
• Option to link the thumbnail to its node,
• Option to activate or not attachment support,
• Full views support, including for each view some options:
  • Option to link the thumbnail to its node,
  • Option to display the original picture (without imagecache action),
  • Option to override the imagecache preset on a per view basis (Drupal 6 only),

With it you should be able to create a view of nodes with thumbnails and an imagecache preset depending on the view and its display. For example you could have a 15px by 15px thumbnail in the block, a 150px by 150 px picture on the page and a 40px by 40px picture in the RSS feed. Have fun, and let me know if something is broken (I hope not).

I tried this module, and on the Drupal created front page it works perfectly. However, in Views I have a problem:
I have created a Views page that displays titles and teasers. In the Teasers the original images are now included. I can also include the thumbnail, but the original picture still gets displayed.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot in advance!

I am writing a tutorial that uses Teaser Thumbnail and met the same problem: in the next version I will probably add the support for a Views field that combine the teaser content and the thumbnail. However, in the meantime, here is how you can get rid of the pictures in your teaser:

1. Go to the edit page of your view (admin/build/views/edit/VIEW_NAME)
2. In Basic settings, click on the Theme: Information link
3. Look for a way to override the Field Node: Teaser (ID: teaser) display; something like views-view-field--VIEW-NAME--teaser.tpl.php should do it
4. Add the file to your theme folder with the following source code if you want to strip all tags:
   

   <?php
     // We strip HTML tags
     print strip_tags($output);
   ?>

   or the following code if you just want to strip the images/flash files:

   <?php
     // We strip all images and flash using a Teaser Thumbnail function
     print _teaserthumbnail_strip_media($output);
   ?>

5. Clean the cache and check your view

hurrah! This module is perfect for my needs now. I'm loving the ability to select different imagecache settings in views, really useful

thanks for the work

Thanks for the assistance, works really well now.

I published a new version (6.x-1.4): I had forgotten a debugging message in the views handler that caused the preset name to be displayed as a message (drupal_set_message). Sorry for that...

Hey All.

much thanks for the development of this mod.

I am still struggling with how to add dome margins to the thumbnails. i am not using views with this right now,

can anyone tell me where i can put in the css.

thank you so much

Images in the teaser have a "teaserthumbnail" class () that you can use to theme your thumbnails. Just add you code in the style.css spreadsheet of your theme, for example:

img.teaserthumbnail {
  border: 4px solid #CCC;
  float: right;
  margin: 0 0 10px 10px;
}

Gee wizards!

thank you !
