I'd like to display news item images in the parent folder, as an album
view, the way image collection are displayed.  (Folder Name with
number of images contained in folder listed in parentheses.)  I tried
editing /portal_atct to register News Items as an image_type, but no
success.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.

The image types are hardcoded in the template
The only good solution is to code a new clean one.
There are examples in many other products.
One pointer would be StructuredDocument, it's one of my products,
there are examples
Otherwise, copy paste the template and change it directly there.

Souheil,

I've got SD working great.  version 2.2.4.  Couldn't get 2.3.3 to work
in my buildout.  Anyway, it's a wonderful product and I'm having a fun
time with it.  Lots of usefulness!  The one problem I'm noticing
however, is that within a chapter, the "photo album with thumbnails"
view does not display the same as standard plone album_view.  The
images immediately within the chapter folder are displayed.  But
subfolders are not displayed.  With plone album_view, subfolders are
displayed with rotating thumbnails of the images contained within.
With SD album view, subfolders appear as empty, with no thumbnail.
Can you advise as to how I might fix this to display rotating
thumbnail images for subfolders?

Thanks!

Actually, the image rotation of a folder is kind of costy
It's doable in a very easy way, but I didn't want to include it,
because of the extra request it does to get the content.
However, if you're looking for the same functionality, I can spend
some time writing a small how to :)

Yeah, if you can put together a how-to in order to point me in the
right direction I'd love to take a crack at it.

Thanks!
