PHPRunner General questions

Hi,
I am reverse engineering my backend application using PHPRUNNER 4.2 ...the issue that I came across is with existing images...I was under the impression that the application will create the thumbnail of the image on the fly if the thumbnail image does not exist...however, this is not the case...
Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you,
Roman

PHPRunner only creates thumbnails when new image is uploaded.
If I were in your boat I would write a script that goes through the whole database and creates thumbnails where required.

Actually...I already had these images saved as thumbs...so I just changed my SQL to point to the thumbs directory.
Thank you,
Roman

Hello:

Images are only resized to thumbnails if you upload them one at a time, correct?? Most of my images (20,000 and growing) are uploaded via excel/csv. I have the path spelled out in the file so when I export them to my site, I have my thumbnails.
Big problem is that having two copies of every picture takes up a lot of space; plus, sometimes there are three images of each item, so it gets very confusing. Plus, I have to sit here and re-size each picture to a thumbnail before I can import it on my website. I have several images that were never resized at all so they show on the List Page as a big red x. Not very professional looking for my visitors, while I go and re-size or find the thumbnail to upload.
Is there any code that I can put in the List Page that will set my thumbnails all the same size?? Like with html, when you set the width and height for display. I have it working with html perfectly on another site. I will be moving all those images to my current site, but have delayed as I don't have the time nor inclination to sit and re-size 10,000 pin pictures one at a time.
I think you mentioned somewhere in these forums that code could be written to create thumbnails on the fly, of all the large images. I have search for the code, but not here.
If you have any suggestions, please let me know.
Thank you, Janice
