Proceed to "View as" settings of Largerpictures field.

Set "View as" type to Image.

Enable "Display thumbnails" check box. Choose Thumbnails field from dropdown box.

Enable iBox.
This is it. If you doing something different it won't work.

Please note that "Generate thumbnails on the fly" feature requires ASPJpeg component installed on the server.

thank you:
but what version are you using? b.388?????
I do not have this dropdown.

could you please check?
I am using ASPrunner 5.2 beta b 388

My example applies to the case when field is binary and images are stored in the database.
If you store images in some foldr on the web server you don't need a second field.

Make sure you setup "Edit as" settings properly (show your screenshot) and ASPJpeg component is installed on the web server.

Looks good to me.
Did you make sure ASPJpeg component is installed on the server?

hi, we do not have aspjpeg, i think i mentioned this before.
and laso this Ibox worked ONCE with the NON beta version....
is it possible to have this working withouth ASPjpeg: i mean i can create my own thumbnail, no problems, but the ibox???
i saw it working with the previous version....5.1

Sergey Kornilov admin 2/18/2008

If you don't have ASPJpeg and won't to use iBox - you need to code it manual using "Custom" View type.

I don't have sample code for this purpose.
PS. You should have mentioned in the very first post you don't have ASPJpeg.

ok, i understand... but how come it worked in the 5.1???
and do you guys have ASPJpeg installed in demo account?
if yes why it does not work there,please?

Sergey Kornilov admin 2/18/2008

Version 5.1 didn't have iBox feature.
No, we don't have ASPJpeg installed on Demo Account.

how can I be helped then?

Sergey Kornilov admin 2/18/2008

You have several options here:
Get a web hosting that provides ASPJpeg component installed.
Purchase ASPJpeg and install it on your own server.
Switch to PHPRunner. PHP comes with built-in images manipulation routines.
