Custom Cover Image

Hi,

Does anyone know where we set the image for the 'Cover Image' when we want to use Custom?

Thanks,
Terry

Re: Custom Cover Image

I believe this works the same as it did in CE4:
http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … album_sets
upload custom thumbs to a /galleries/custom-thumbnails/ folder.
In Publisher, when you go to choose a cover image for an album or a set, the images placed in the custom-thumbnails/ folder will be listed at the top.

here's a great idea from Matthew for managing custom thumbnails: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=6396

There is also a custom_thumbnails/ folder created with each album. Try using FTP to upload a custom thumbnail to this folder and then select "Custom" for the album cover image.

album sets are created with a thumbnails/ folder. you can put a custom thumb in that folder and set the cover image to either Custom or Random. Or you can choose any thumbnail that appears in the Cover Image drop-down list
