How to add a thumbnail next to links in a Links Iview?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I need to be able to add a thumbnail (50x50 pixels) next to a link (external/internal link) in a Links Iview. How could I go about this?

I am happy with the concept of changing the layoutset to display various attributes, but unsure as how to get and maintain thumbnails related to links...

Any ideas most welcome!

thanks in advance

Hi Alex..

What you can do is ..

Create a HTML file...

Where..u...

Create a table of Border color same as that of Background.....with two columns...

In one column Call your link e.g.

<href="http://www.MySpace.com">.........

and in other column..Call image e.g.

<img src=".......>..

Upload this HTML File in KM.

Create a KM Document iview of it..

Hope it helps.....

Thanks...

Thanks Chetna,

However I need my users to be able to edit / upload new entries and manage the content themselves. This calls for something like a standard links iview with the "organise links" option to modify the content.

Whilst your recommendation would work from a GUI perspective this doesn't solve the issue I have which is how to get a KM solution to allow users to update/modify their links and images

thanks for your reply

Hi Alex

As per your requirement..i see a Option of customization through XML Forms..

Check Demo Applications..that is inbuilt ones..

like one Project named News.

*There is a component/Data schema element called Browser.

You can use that to browse images through KM content.

Set its Properties:

Button Type: Image

Button Image: path(Browse through root folder)

Action : Thumbnail

There is a component/Data schema element called URL Link
