"list sub pages as thumbnails" loops through all subpages under there currentnode and displays the image that they may contation.
And the "list thumbnails from current page" is probably listing image thumbnials selected on the current node itself. Not the subpages. Either if you for instance have created multiple image properties on the document type or (which is probably more likely) that you have used a media picker to select an image folder in the media section, which will then be displayed using this rendering.
For any of the XSLT's to work it of course requires that you have set some properties that you can reference in the XSLT files.
I hope the above makes sense - otherwise don't hesistate to ask again :-)
Yes, it was the bit about the image itself that confused me.
Like you say I guessed a property would perhaps have to be created of probably type media picker but I couldn't figure out the specifics. Would it have to be a specific alias, what if you picked a pdf file and not an image?
All will become clear one day I expect. maybe there's a video on it.
Thumbnail XSLT macro templates
Now that I'm working with 4.5 I've seen a coupe of new XSLT macro templates relating to thumbnails.
I've had a quick look/play but I'm no guru in XSLT.
Could someone briefly explain what the idea is behind these templates?
Where for example do the thumbnails come from?
Thanks,
Matt
