Thumbnailed image library

Create an image library, with thumbnail views for the Web.

For the view to work, you must create a form with a rich text field to hold your thumbnail image. The code that follows can go either into a column in your view for the Web or, more efficiently, into a hidden field on your form.

It will pull the thumbnail image from your form and make it a clickable link in the view, assuming your thumbnail Rich Text Field is called 'Thumbnail'.


"[<a href = /database.nsf/webview/"+@Text(@DocumentUniqueID)
+"?OpenDocument><img src=/database.nsf/webview/"+@Text
(@DocumentUniqueID)+"/Thumbnail/0.70?OpenElement&FieldElemFormat=gif border
= 0></a>]"
