Image Cropper template question

By thelasian on Oct 3, 2009 at 6:29 PM 2 Vote 0 Votes

Prior to installing imagecropper plugin, I used this code to display scaled-down thumbnails for the last 10 entries:



"/>

I decided to install imagecropper because the scaled-down image wasn't always suitable. Now I have installed imagecropper and have defined a prototype thumbnail of 85px square. So, for example, I have a thumbnail called "samplepic1.jpg (Square)" among my assets, which is the cropped version of samplepic1.jpg, and samplepic2.jpg (Square) etc.

So here's my question: how do I display the cropped images instead of the scaled-down thumbnails? The sample code provided in the documentation has MTEntryAsset id=136 but I not using a specific reference to a specific asset in my templates. Can anyone help me rewrite the code so I diplay the cropped version rather than the scaled-down version of the images for the last 10 entries?

    This is the code I used to use to display the scaled-down thumbs for the last 10 images:


    
</mt:Entries>
    
<mt:EntryAssets limit="1">
    
<img src="<$mt:AssetThumbnailURL width="80"$>" />
    
</mt:EntryAssets>
    
</mt:Entries>

    I'm trying to figure out how to do the same thing using imagecropper. Thnks

    Did you ever figure this issue out? I have the exact same question. I can get it to use the last image cropper cropped thumbnail that I associate with a post but the label portion does not seem to work.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
