The module ImageCache introduces a nice capability to resize images, render thumbnails when in teaser mode. This is described here: http://drupal.org/node/163561
I am finding in my test Drupal site, that ImageCache does not work. This might be because the Display Suite overrides this
Admin -> Content Types -> my_node_type -> edit -> "Display fields"
http://mydrupalsite.org/admin/content/node-type/my_node_type/display
Specifically, my problem is there seems to be no way of associating my node type with any of the ImageCache preset namespaces.
Apologies if I missed something dumb!
Many thanks for this great module!
David

You'll have to install ND CCK, available at http://drupal.org/project/nd_contrib

I have these ND modules installed and enabled
ND CCK 6.x-2.3
Display suite 6.x-1.3
Display suite UI 6.x-1.3
ND search 6.x-2.3

So you are saying the display suite does support ImageCache?
Perhaps I am missing how to enable ImageCache from Node Displays UI?
Thanks again
David

Yeah, on admin/build/ds/any_node_type all fields should be listed also from the CCK fields. The formatters for an imagefield have the imagecache presets, this comes directly from CCK, ND CCK only registers the fields on that page.

I found it. Wow what a great module! Sorry for the silly question.
Best,

admin/build/ds/any_node_type brought up the site building page for me. Where do I go to find the cck configuration?

I just upgraded to the new version and admin/build/ds/uprofile took me to the main setting page. I prefer the old UI where the setting for each field were out in the open. The additional clicking of "Change settings" will be cumbersome if you have a lot of fields.

My problem is I applied the imagecache settings but my images didn't change in size. I'm using views teaser to display the page. I didn't have this problem before display suite took over display fields.

I figured this out. My view displays the page as a teaser but imagecache wasn't set up for that. I originally had it set up but display suite changed it for some reason.
