Main and Sub Album Thumbnails

I have had to recreate from scratch my CE3 structure as the migration tool did not work. I have a man index page that links to 5 other index pages which then contain grouped galleries.

How do I get a random thumbnail image from the underlying index album on each of the index Album links of the Main index. I had this working in CE3 but cannot remember how

Re: Main and Sub Album Thumbnails

Do you mean how do you get random thumbnails on Album Sets in the main index?

If so, then export thumbnails of the correct size out of the Library Module and upload them to each Album Set's thumbnails/ folder.

Re: Main and Sub Album Thumbnails

Yes thanks just remembered how I did it. Took posting here to get the grey cells working. Your comment is exactly what I needed  to do, I just copied a random sample of thumbnails from each gallery within the index and put them in the thumbnails folder

Thanks for the quick response

Re: Main and Sub Album Thumbnails

That's pretty much what I do too. I've got an Export preset created just for this purpose.
