Image Preview

Table Views

Show an image preview in Table Views

When using image previews in table we use the option type "I", I stands for Image Preview, this allows to show one image per row.

When creating the section make sure to add the option type I

$Blog->setOption("VIEW ARTICLES,VER ARTICULOS,VOIR ARTICLES","aside","4","VPILB",true);

The option type I will make the $options['img_prev'] variable = true and will let us use the following variable in our table view:

//declared in header when option type I exists
//$options['img_prev'] = true 

$imagePreviewDbColumn= 'thumb_url'; //this is the name of the column where the image source is located

If the database contains an image source and a thumbnail source, ALWAYS use the thumbnail source to reduce bandwidth,  loading time and potentially slow down the browser and the computer due to high memory usage.

Previously the following variables were being used, reserved for backwards compatibility:

 

image_field = 'img_url';
$thumb_field = 'thumb_url';
