I have stated in AutoIndex Enabler for the thumbnails an absolute path, a relativ path to the folder or to a special thumbnail. I always get nothumb.jpg. My thumbnails or in another subdirectory parallel to the actual subdirectory.
When I call autoindex with ?array I get:
...
[14] => Array
(
[access] => unlocked
[thumbnail] => http://body-paint.at//lib//images/nothumb.jpg
[title] => UV Auftritt
[description] => 2 Modelle wurden im Kabarett Vindobona als Skelett gepaintet und machten eine Vorführung zu 2 Musikstücken.
[url] => \fotos\uv\uvauftritt\index.php
)
…See http://body-paint.at/fotos/05-auftraege/?array, last thumbnail.
When I have tumbnails in the subdirectory thumbnails, so one of these thumbnails is shown and my path for the thumbnail is ignored.

Scanning '/home/bauer/public_html/fotos/05-auftraege/thumbnails'Why he doesn't look in the right directory for the thumbnails? That seems to be an error.
It isn't possible to have a thumbnail in the autoindex enabler thumbnail folder? Because there is alway at least one picture you have selected...

I'm not really following.
The last album in the index is a Publisher controlled album. You can use the tools in Publisher to pick out the cover image or just use the Random setting.
The next to the last item in the index has a malformed URL that has backslashes in it ( \ ) :
http://body-paint.at/fotos/05-auftraege/\Cfotos\Cuv\Cuvparty\Cindex.phptry fixing that first.

Here's how thumbnails work:

This page explains all possible ways to specify a thumbnail to use.

I have never seen CFotos\Cuv\... whether in Lightroom nor in the index.php. I have not CE4 publisher! I have moved now 75-uvauftritt to a new subdirectory test. So it is the only album in test. I have
\fotos\uv\75-uvauftritt my real album
\fotos\uv\75-uvauftritt\thumbnails the thumbnails I want to use from the album set test too!
\fotos\test\ album set with the only album uvauftritt (generated by Autoindex Enabler)
\fotos\test\75-auftritt\thumbnails it's empty, because I want to use the original subdirectory
In Lightroom I state in the Autoindex Enabler in the last version (I tried a lot of possibilities) in the field Album Thumbnail:
/fotos/uv/uvauftritt/thumbnails
(Should I use always '/', never '\' ?)
TTG CE4 Auto Index PHP function v2.0 (2012-01-10)

The program is always looking in the empty thumbnail order, never in the order I stated. (Maybe it is restricted to only custom-thumbnails in the same order? That doesn't make sense.)

I have not CE4 publisher
You most certainly do. The page you link to above is an Album Set created with Publisher:
<meta name="generator" content="CE4 Auto Index 7.0.7, via Publisher" />as are the albums within that Album Set
(Should I use always '/', never '\' ?)
correct
See http://body-paint.at/fotos/test .

And why are you using Autoindex Enabler? Autoindex Enabler allows an Autoindex to see non-TTG galleries. This: http://body-paint.at/fotos/uv/uvauftritt/index.php is a Publisher generated TTG album. Why not use the tools in Publisher to select the thumbnail you want? Or, if you're generating a custom thumbnail, put it in a custom-thumbnails folder and choose it from the Cover Image drop down in the Create/Edit Album dialog in Publisher.

if you're creating a set of custom thumbnails to represent an album, then inside of that album, create a folder named "custom_thumbnails" and FTP your thumbnails to that folder.
In Publisher, edit that album and in the Cover Image drop-down, choose "Custom".
The autoindex (Album Set) will then randomly choose thumbnails from that custom_thumbnails folder.

Only for understanding. - I wanted to have the same TTG-album twice in my hierarchie af album sets without duplicating my gallery in order to have it in each folder. That may be the problem. http://body-paint.at/fotos/uv/uvauftritt/index.php functions great. But with http://body-paint.at/fotos/auftraege/uvauftritt it funcions with the link but not with the thumbnails. It was generated by the AutoIndex Enabler. This is not an album under the TTG CE4 Publisher too, I have to export it and upload via FTP. In order to see thumbnails I have to upload via FTP to the thumbnail or custom_thubmnails folder of this order too. I thought there would be a better way by stating just the path in the thumbnails...

As outlined in the Autoindex Enabler instructions, when using the Autoindex Enabler, Lightroom generates a thumbnails/ folder. The simplest thing for you to do is use the same collection of images in Lightroom, selecting only those images you want to use for thumbnails, and export the Autoindex enabler.
It will create the needed thumbnails and place them in the thumbnails/ folder.
All you need to do then is upload the exported folder to the needed album set folder.
