aewhale	Date: 2/10/2008 11:32 am · Subject: Web Preview or Thumbnail · Rating: -5 OK, I'm developing the New version for the FathersRightsNetwork.net (previously known as www.abs-comtpech.com/frn/frnhome.html). What I am looking for is the ability to display a thumbnail preview of a WebLog that is elsewhere on the site. I also want to do the same for a 'News' section as well. Now I've reviewed the Dashboard Asset, but this practically mandates a full page presentation on the website. I would like to manage the front page assets, and then (using a two column style layout) place the preview on the right side column. Can this be accomplished in WebGui? --- (Edited on 2/10/2008 12:32 pm [GMT-0500] by aewhale) --- --- (Edited on 2/10/2008 1:24 pm [GMT-0500] by aewhale) ---

Now, can it take me to the main asset if I click on it (I'm asking because I click on the duplicate, but nothing is happening.). Also, can I control how much is displayed in the duplicate? --- (Edited on 2/12/2008 7:45 pm [GMT-0500] by aewhale) ---
