Add Image Cache Preset to Thumbnail Pager

hi
have you find any solution to this? i would be very interested too...

Likewise. I'd love to have this feature built in.

Yes, yes, this is what I need.

Also, I've got the main slide linked to a url (using views "Output this field as a link" setting for the image). It would be great if there was a setting for the thumbnail that would add the same link to the thumbnail.

Let me know if I should make this a separate feature request.

This module is so awesome!

Agree adding imagecache present support would be very useful and most reasonable and proper way to render the thumbnail.

Subscribing.

It is definitely on my todo list of things I would like to add.

cool, the thumbnails are distorted for me and therefore unusable... but allowing one to pick a Image cache preset that rescales and crops... currently just assuming most pics are rectangular and changing the css rule to be more rectangular and fit on 1 line

.views_slideshow_singleframe_pager div a img{
width:58px;
height:40px;
}

Try using views_slideshow_thumbnailhover in 2.x-dev. With the addition of being able to select certain fields you should be able to accomplish this.

Postponed to look at for future release. If using views_slideshow_thumbnailhover worked for people please post that it worked for you.

Here is a workaround if you want to load a different thumbnail than the image.

Add your image again with a different imagecache preset for it being a thumbnail and move it as the top field.
In your css set the image to be display: none;
Change your css to be whatever height and width you want the thumbnail to be.

This will display this image as the thumbnail. This will allow you to use imagecache to crop the image into a square if your image is not a square, but you want your thumbnails to be.

Hopefully this makes sense.

I can't really understand the logic here.. could you please describe this a little more?

How exactly can you get views_slideshow_thumbnailhover to do this please? thanks.

I giured this out but it doesn't seem to be good for the same type of slideshow...

Not sure what you mean by doesn't seem to be good for the same type of slideshow

Marking as fixed. I think that using Thumbnailhover or the steps in #9 is the best way to handle this.

Hi redndahead, I thought you just mentioned here a workaround not real fix, the pager is still not integrated with imagecache preset like Views_Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block

That would be up to views_slideshow_ddblock to fix. We just provide them a way to hook into our style for views.

A css hack really isn't a fix.

What danielhonrade was saying is Views_Slideshow: Dynamic Display Block does provide this feature so couldn't this be done here like it is there.

1) This is a year old
2) Thumbnailhover uses fields so it can use imagecache.
3) Singleframe thumbnail support was an easy hack to get thumbnail support in singleframe.

Solution: Use thumbnailhover and not singleframe.
