Thumbnails for Image Field / Caching

  • Hi Roland,

    I was wondering if the image field type has some kind of thumb nail setting. I am working on a database with high resolution images and noticed that when I call the pdb_list from an uncached browser, it seems to download the full high res images. Wouldn’t it make sense to rather have thumbnails for all image fields and open the high res version only when you click on it – at least as an option?

    Sorry if that question came up before, but its hard to find something in the support forum. Also thanks for the plugins, I am definitely interesting in the combo search.

    Participants Database doesn’t use thumbnails, it’s handling of images is pretty simple, it just shows the image. It doesn’t do well with displaying a lot of large-file-size images, things can slow way down.

    If you’ve got some PHP skills, it wouldn’t be hard to create a custom template that used thumbnails to show the images.

    Another approach is to use a javascript-based lazy loader. You can get a WP plugin that adds this and it will work with Participants Database.
