    Hello,

    Just a quick question for you mate since I can’t seem to find any other way to contact you.

    With your CCTM Plugin, I notice that if I create a new content type called ‘MyCar’ and it has only one custom field named ‘MyImage’, this MyImage is an image upload field. I can go into the custom content type itself and select what ‘Columns’ are displayed along with the standard Title etc so I can now see MyImage displayed when i make a new ‘MyCar’ item .

    My question is this: I see that at the bottom of each custom field you create you can choose the default ‘Output Filter’. For this new ‘MyImage’ item i can choose ‘Full <img> tag’ which prints out the full size uploaded image. However, would you be able to tell me if you could include the other standard sizes that are created in WordPress when you upload an image? (Wp Large, WP Medium, Thumbnail)

    Basically this output filter is great! however, the images I have to deal with are GIGANTIC and it would be great if I could display in the columns a standard ‘Medium’ sized image or a ‘Thumbnail’, just so I can see the image itself.

    I can add this functionality in myself I am sure, however you seem to offer regular updates and it would be great to have this feature if it didn’t take too much of your time to add it in ??

    Kind Regards,

    Simon Codrington

    Contact info is on every manager page in the CCTM, and the bug tracker is also a direct link to me. For general questions, the forum is the correct place, but understand that it’s a community effort and I’m under no obligation to respond to anything unless you’re a paying client (sorry, just that’s just the realities of one person vs. a 24 hour day).

    To your question: this has already been discussed and resolved already in the bug tracker: https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=443&can=1&start=400

    Download the dev version to take advantage of that fix.

    But the full answer is no, you can’t alter the output in that case because there is no way to pass arguments to the function when it is used there. I’ve experienced a lot of errors with WP’s image resizing functions (see https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=355 and https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-manager/issues/detail?id=269).

    My strong suggestion is to preserve functionality over eye-candy: WP is a terrible system for doing thorough customizations and you will waste a lot of time and destroy its maintainability the more time you waste trying to customize stuff like this (imo).

    Hello.

    Thanks for the speedy reply. I am sorry if I listed this in the wrong location, I will remember that if I need to post any other questions.

    Thanks for the heads up on the capabilities of of your plugin. I would like to view images in a smaller size but I wont go pulling my hair out to get it.

    Have a good day!
