I have 6 wonderful templates on my board, but on the page where you can select which one to choose the thumbnail looks the same for each of them. In which file can I change the name of the file thumbnail.gif I am not finding it.
Thanks...
Just name your preview image to thumbnail.gif and put in your theme folder Themes/owntheme/images/thumbnail.gif
well... I tried that... but the problem with that is that I have the same images for all six themes... so I would not want to upload all the rest times 6.
I thought there must be a smarter way.
Not sure i understand... Same image to all? Why?
because it just is a colour variations (as in the category backgrounds and css colours alter and some things in the index.template).... So they all share the default image directory as I thought it would not be necessary to upload all the same images 6 times.. I mean I easily could... but I was just looking for a more intellifent way of doing it.
I belive Sources/Themes.php is the file u r looking for :)
This should be theme thing but seems that you have to hack sources.
hmm okay... I will try that... thank you

see they are not that different at all... would be such a waste of webspace
there are theme way also, i just find that:
Themes.template find <td rowspan="2" width="126" height="120"><img src="', $theme['thumbnail_href'], '" alt="" /></td>
oooh that is gorgeous... thank you sooo much. That is a lot easier than fiddling with the php
Your welcome ;D
<img src="', $theme['thumbnail_href'], '" alt="" />
okay.... I tried several things but apparantly I am not smart enough to alter it to something that works.
I thought it would be the easieast to get the theme_id and make it call filenames like thumbnail_1 for theme 1, thumbnail_2 for theme 2 and so on... however I do not know how to get it done.
If any of you is terribly bored please enlight me
Why u aint do just something like this
<td rowspan="2" width="126" height="120"><img src="http://yourdomain.com/thumb.gif" alt="" /></td>
?
because all themes have the same thumbnail then, right?
Isnt that what you wanted??

looking good :)
ooh dear... (my english must be appaling today if I can create such a big misunderstanding)
How do I rephrase this more clearly.
There are 6 themes with the same images directory. Of course I do want different thumbnails for each theme. I tried to find a smarter way of doing that then uploading the whole images directory another 5 times.
If I had wanted 6 themes with the same icon... well I have that at the moment, so why would I post at all...
I think you can control this in the xml file for the theme. Not positive though and I know a guide is being written to making themes.
I figured it out... well this is a lie... [unknown] did. The URL can be modified in languages/settings.english.php
thanks a lot to everyone trying to help ;)
