can 2 different thumbnail settings be set in 1 config file?

Is there a chance that the folders that you mentioned are resource types?

yes, both folders are resource types, if I use $_GET['type'] then should i just perform a check on the type name (shared) as an example and apply a different set of thumbnail settings?

The way I want to configure the thumbs settings for the shared folder is to have it use direct access, because the resource type actually points to the thumbs folder we create automatically. then to load the image we remove "thumbs" from the path so the full sized images get loaded.

i'll have a play and see if i can detect the type and set the direct param.

many thanks for your idea Wiktor. I think get it now.

hi,

i added a check for $_GET['type'] as below in config.php:

$test=$_GET['type'];
if($test=="Custom Canvases"){
   $config['Thumbnails'] = Array(
         'url' => $baseUrl.$_SESSION['boardid'].'/canvas/thumbs',
         'directory' => $baseDir.$_SESSION['boardid'].'/canvas/thumbs',
         'enabled' => true,
         'directAccess' => false,
         'maxWidth' => 100,
         'maxHeight' => 100,
         'bmpSupported' => false,
         'quality' => 60);
} else {
   $config['Thumbnails'] = Array(
         'url' => $baseUrl.$_SESSION['boardid'].'/canvas/thumbs',
         'directory' => $baseDir.$_SESSION['boardid'].'/canvas/thumbs',
         'enabled' => true,
         'directAccess' => true,
         'maxWidth' => 100,
         'maxHeight' => 100,
         'bmpSupported' => false,
         'quality' => 30);
}

and my resource types are:

$config['ResourceType']['shared'] = Array(
         'name' => $config['pack'].' Canvases',
         'url' => $baseUrl.'canvases/'.$config['pack'].'/thumbs',
         'directory' => $baseDir.'canvases/'.$config['pack'].'/thumbs',
         'allowedExtensions' => 'jpeg,jpg',
);

$config['ResourceType']['markers'] = Array(
         'name' => 'Custom Markers',            // Single quotes not allowed
         'url' => $baseUrl.$config['boardid'].'/backgrounds/icons',
         'directory' => $baseDir.$config['boardid'].'/backgrounds/icons',
         'maxSize' => "100K",
         'allowedExtensions' => 'png',
      );

$config['ResourceType']['canvas'] = Array(
         'name' => 'Custom Canvases',            // Single quotes not allowed
         'url' => $baseUrl.$config['boardid'].'/canvas',
         'directory' => $baseDir.$config['boardid'].'/canvas',
         'maxSize' => "300K",
         'allowedExtensions' => 'jpg, jpeg',
      );

For some reason, thumbs for all folders are being created automatically.

I was under the impression that directaccess means view the thumbnail direct?

any ideas?

THis is now resolved, basically i recreated the config based on the folder selected.
