How to get a thumbnail view of an Image?

Hi All,

In MOSS we have picture library where we can upload images. But there is no way where you can display thumbnail view of an image.

All you have to do is just append “_t” to directory and convert period in filename with underscore character and append images extension.

Here are the samples:

If the Image URL is:

"http://server/site/mysite/PictureLibrary/testPic.gif"

Change it to

"http://server/site/mysite/PictureLibrary/_t/testPic_gif.gif"

You can also use _w instead of _t. This will give you larger image.

This idea is given by Robert Bogue (MVP)

Changing Content Type Hub URL

Change the Hub URL through powershell by using: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity " " -HubURI " " For Ex: Set-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Identity "Managed Metadata Service" -HubURI "http://contenttype.Domain.Com" When you try to do this you get this rather scary message: This is SharePoint telling you that this is a major thing so be careful! Essentially all your content types that you have published out will be removed if they can, and you have to republish all of your content types out again which can cause some issue.
