Hello
I have the CE4 Web publishing suite and Stage CE4. I'm not using Publisher. Instead I am loading manually the exported folders to FTP { via Filezilla } I made a folder with custom thumbnails and uploaded it to inside the residential-gallery folder inside the gallery folder according to the instructions:
" Custom Thumbnail Folders
It's also possible to create a folder containing several custom thumbnail images, and to have the auto index randomly select one of those thumbnails.
To specify a folder of custom thumbnails, supply the path relative to the location of the index. This folder may be inside the gallery folder (that's where I like to keep it), or in another folder. For example, here we have a /custom-thumbnails/ folder inside one of our image galleries:
To instruct the auto index to select a thumbnail image from within this folder, we provide a relative path from the auto index location. In this example, that path would be:
my-gallery/custom-thumbnails/
Again, this goes into the Album Thumbnail field when creating our image gallery. "
So in my case the path is :
residential-gallery/custom-thumbnails/
But is not working. The auto-index is not using the custom-thumbnails folder. Instead is using the low res thumbnails exported by pages or stage. The site is under construction at:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Rod
Thank you for your help/
I re-exported the residential gallery with just custom-thumbnails/ into the Album Thumbnail field as you suggested, but is still not working. You can see that at http://zanziphotography.com
The custom thumbnails that I created do not have the watermarking and the ones that appear in the Auto Index do have it and are the ones inside the regular thumbnail folder created by Stage. If I delete them, then nothing appears in the Auto Index.
I am a kind of lost here.

I don't know why it's not working for you, it works in my tests.
on my test site I uploaded a gallery named "thumbs-test" and I put "custom/" in the album thumbnail field as you can see from the autoindex.xml file: http://ce4.barbeephoto.com/galleries/th … oindex.xml
I created a folder named "custom" inside the "thumbs-test" gallery folder.
Inside the custom folder I place two thumbnails that are different images than what's in the gallery.
Those are the images showing up on the Galleries page.
You can see the files in the "custom" folder by just going to that folder:
http://ce4.barbeephoto.com/galleries/th … st/custom/
On your site, if I go to the folder that is supposed to have your custom thumbnails I get a Forbidden error:
http://zanziphotography.com/galleries/r … humbnails/
Can you double check that the custom-thumbnails folder is inside the residential-gallery folder?
I'm also wondering if there are permission issues going on that don't allow viewing of your folder.

Hello Rod
I found the problem. The files inside the custom thumbnails folder were TIF files. I changed them for JPEG files and now it WORKS !
Thank you.
