Selecting thumbnails in TinyMCE

Post by korpirkor »

In TinyMCE you can select full-size image but often you also need to insert thumbnail linked to full-size image ( )

How can I do this in the most simple way ?

ps. Creating User Defined Tag is not simple way...

Thanks for any help, korpirkor

~ insert the thumbnail image with the "insert/edit image" button
~ select the image in the editor
~ link to the full-size image using the "insert/edit link" button

If that's not simple enough look for another editor or maybe a module that does offer the functionality you want.
If it doesn't exist, perhaps suggest the functionality at the tinymce developers page.

There is no option for select a thumbnail for any picture. I can just select full-size image and rename image.jpg to thumb_image.jpg.

When i get any new project to do, then i will think about this.

Another editor ? All WYSIWYG editors for CMS MS uses default filepicker :-/

Thanks for trying...

ah I'm sorry, I have misunderstood your question.
I was trying to help out, but perhaps I should leave it to the experts :P
(because I didn't even know about that way to create thumbnails untill now)

I guess only my last comment holds... Suggest the functionality to the developers.

The thumbs made by the system are set to not show in tiny or the image manager and they have the thumb put on the end of the name as in image_thumb.jpg so if you make them as thumb_image or any other naming convention you should see them...

The easiest way may be to select the full image and in the url part of image picker add _thumb to the image name and it will show the thumb...

So, you can choose thumbnail directly...  ;)
Right, now we can select thumbs in filepicker - its better than nothing :-D

sorry for reactivating this thread but is there a solution right now?
i want to upload a local image through tinymce, then generate a thumbnail, insert it in the content and finally adds a wrapping tag which links to the big image (which we have just picked from local drive). alltogether having it fully automatically!?
would be an awesome feature!

NO there is no way to do this automatically, if you really need it use album module it does it...
