Extra custom field?
Hi. Okay, this may be a bit of a tall order, but I was wondering how I could get a thumbnail from a standard EE file field to display next to the title in the reorder page.
I managed to get the path to display, i.e. {filedir_2}nameoffile.jpg but I cant work out how I can get the {filedir_2} part to locate the correct location.
Is there any way you could help me with this?
Thank you

Well, this requires hacking the CP file, which is of course not supported. But if you need to replace the {filedir_x} variables, I believe the Typography class takes care of that.

Unfortunately my level of coding means I don't have a clue how I can accomplish that! Would you be willing to share with me how I can achieve this? as I imagine a lot of other uses would like to do this.
Many Thanks

I already did some research about adding extra custom fields to the reorder list. Take a look at this reply to a feature request. Adding custom fields to the reorder list is not an easy feat, especially taking 3rd party field types into account. That's why it's not possible at the moment.
I will try and examine some sort of alternative for version 2, but it will take significant rewrite of the code.
