Hi everybody.

The goal:
My client want a bigger thumbnail of the image attached to a dataobject.

What I've done so far:
The dataobjectitems are houses with a bunch of values. The image is bind with static $has_one = array('Image' => 'Image' );
The imagefield is generated in getCMSFields with $fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Main", new ImageField('Image', 'Bild des Objektes', Null, Null, Null, 'images-immodatabase'));

My question is:
How to alter the size of the allready attached image. Is there a simple config line? Or do i have to edit the core (Imagefield)?
Thanks for your help.

Pipifix,

Not sure if this answers your question, but in your template you can call Graphic Draw functions via SilverStripe.

In your template:

$Image.SetWidth(250)

See: http://api.silverstripe.org/2.4/sapphire/filesystem/Image.html for a list of available methods on Image objects.

Cheers,
Josh

Let me know if you were wanting to increase the image size in the back end (CMS), and not on the front end (template) of your site.

Thanks novaweb.

I meant the thumbnail preview in the ModelAdmin (=Backend).

Nobody?

I've done custom thumbnails in modeladmin table.

//first add you're custom thumbnail field to the Summary Field
static $summary_fields = array('Thumb');

//then create a a custom getter for it
public function getThumb(){
$image = DataObject::get_by_id("File", $this->ImageID);
if ($image){
return $image->setWidth(50);
} else {
return "No Image Available";
}
}

I'm assuming that your image is held under ImageID, and for the return function you can use any of the standard image functions.

Now this won't change the size of the thumbnail in the CMS ImageField, unfortunately the current ImageFIeld doesn't allow you to customize the thumbnail size

I think I also saw a tutorial for this on SSBits.com, not sure if their implementation is better. I had a solution when by the time I saw it there

Cheers
