Thumbnail with news post

MODX Evolution

I wonder if someone can help?

On my site I use this [!Ditto? &parents=`4` &display=`10` &total=`10` &tpl=`ditto-sidebar`!]

This displays the title of the page and the Summary (introtext.

What do I need to display a thumbnail image from the page on the front page under title and summary?

The pages under container ID 4 needs a TV where you add the image.

In the ditto chunk (ditto-sidebar) you need to call <img src="[+image-tv-name+]" />

Thank you.

I created a TV called thumbimage.

This is the code in ditto.

<div class="sidebar-block">
<a href="[~[+id+]~]" class="sidebar-block-title">[+pagetitle+]</a>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
<img src="[+thumbimage+]" width="340" />

</div>

Good luck,

try phpthumb snippet to create a resized thumbnail of your tv "thumbimage"

ie:

Or way better use the thumbnails KCFinder generates on upload.

1. Install a snippet: phx:thumb


Then in your Ditto TPL: [+thumbimage:thumb+]


//KCFinder only generates thumbnails of photo uploads greater than a certain size (I think it's 150px)
So this is only a solution for pics uploaded greater than that. [ed. note: mrhaw last edited this post 10 years, 2 months ago.]
