Help really needed

Hi there,

at the company where I work, the software dev of plone left before I started working there and now, one of our client is asking from some changes in his website and I've no idea where I can do it.

the web site is:

http://zeus.paloalto.pt/Site_isptec/pt/newsletter

and our client request is to add some tumbnail to each files that he had uploaded, I really need some one to introduce me where I can do this, I've looked the whole week to plone and I cann't figure out the structure and where I can do the modification.

thanks

If your client uploads files or images to a normal Plone folder, you can enable the "gallery view" for the folder... is that what you mean? Which version of Plone is this, and can you describe in more detail what your client wants?

The easiest way to show an icon for each file is to use the Display menu and choose "gallery" or "thumbnail" view.

and where can I find this menu?

Try this: http://docs.plone.org/4/en/working-with-content/managing-content/folder-view.html

I don't have this kind of menu, or I don't know where is it, I only have this kind of management menu:

When you log into http://www.isptec.co.ao/pt/login and then go to http://www.isptec.co.ao/pt/newsletter you should see a green bar (I'm assuming Plone 4.x), in which there is the Display menu.

ok, so I've to login into the website, I only have the manage_main login, not the other one, I should ask to our client for the admin login access and then try again, with the manage_main login I cann't see the green menu.

@ccbernardo, the view you see there is called the "Zope Management Interface", which is generally not the place where one manages a Plone instance.

Plone is built to allow you to work with content directly from the front end where your users look at the website. You can find the "green bar" that @tkimnguyen is speaking of by looking at the "newsletter" folder when logged in as a user with the correct permissions. If you are able to see the Zope Management Interface, then you should have the correct permissions to see this green frame. It will contain buttons like "Edit", "View", "Sharing" and "Contents", and should also contain drop-down menus for things like "workflow", "actions" and "display". The "Gallery" or "Thumbnail" view that @tkimnguyen speaks of should be under the drop-down menu for "display".

If you have a login that leaves you looking at "manage_main", you can generally just remove that part of your url and end up looking at the front-end of the Plone site with the right permissions.

So if you can view this url: http://www.isptec.co.ao/pt/newsletter/manage_main, you should be able to remove manage_main and see the green frame at http://www.isptec.co.ao/pt/newsletter.

Yes I can see edit button but no green menu.

I've a little menu in the bottom of the page, a dropdown menu Admin -> site configuration, banner, preferences.. but when I choose somethink I've got only errors, but still doesn't hve a green menu:

Here is the full error message:

Can you paste a screen shot?

If you can view http://zeus.paloalto.pt/Site_isptec/pt/newsletter/folder_contents change that URL to http://zeus.paloalto.pt/Site_isptec/pt/newsletter and you should see a Display menu

I can only see the green bar with the "folder_contents" in front of the url.

What do you see once you click on Visualizar?

I saw the regular version of the web site.. just normal

try appending this to the URL for that folder, e.g. visit http://zeus.paloalto.pt/Site_isptec/pt/newsletter/selectViewTemplate?templateId=atct_album_view

a information message apears saying that the view has been change but it still the same view.

but by code I can add image:

But on the green bar I can add element, If i add an image and I gave it the same name of the file element, I can open this image has a thumbnail, what do you think of that?

I've tried reloading that newsletter page a few times but yeah the view doesn't seem to have changed.

In some cases it could be very heavy caching that eventually will expire unless you have a way to restart your caching proxy, but I don't think this is your case. Your site must have some customized permissions or maybe views.

I think I've reached the limit of what I can help with without being able to log into your site or look at your configuration and deployment.

ok Thanks I'll check that.

For my second problem, do you know how can I modify this upload to get another "file upload" for the image?

You will want the content lead image behavior that comes with plone.app.contenttypes. It gives you an "extra image", one per PDF file, that shows in listings.
