Can't get FCG Thumbnails working

PostBy johndoe on Thu Mar 11, 2010 12:53 am

Hello

I have got FCG running on my site http://dogcareonlinetipstest.fitnesslifesport.com/ (just started it, so there's hardly anything there) but I just can't get the thumbnails to show up.

The theme is the Lifestyle theme and I've made sure the custom thumbnail image option is ticked in the FCG options, and made sure I've put a custom field with thumbnailimg as the Name and the URL of the image as the value. I've also made sure that the image exists in my uploads folder but no matter what I do, it still refuses to show up!

The main gallery just has 2 images and is working fine,

I've read through all the posts I can on here, but still have no clue how to fix this issue.

Please help! I'm all out of ideas on this one!

Thanks!
johndoe

I see your thumbs, except second one, check your thumbnailimg custom field for it

Thanks for the reply!

You can see them? Wow that's strange, because I still can't see any at all...

And I've tried with three different browsers....

Any ideas?

I can see where I have gone wrong.

You're right, the featured content thumbnails are indeed working at the top of the slider. I was under the impression that this was known as the "gallery" and that the thumbnails were created further down the page in the two columns under the slider next to each article. I think I misunderstood the terminology used.

Can FCG create thumbnails next to articles in the columns or should I get another plugin such as Get The Image, or something like that?

Thanks for your help Yelena
