Hello,

I created custom content module regarding this post.
Now I'm trying to add field to my content module that would hold thumbnail.
I added thumbnail selector project from this post.
Now I'm trying to use this selector to add thumbnail field.

For custom content item I defined new field (+ all appropriate mappings for openaccess):

/// <summary>

/// item thumbnail

/// </summary>

[DataMember]

public string ItemThumbnail

get return this.itemThumbnail;

set this.itemThumbnail = value;

And in the ItemsDefinitions -> CreateBackendSections
I added thumbnail field like following:

// ItemThumbnail field

var itemThumbnailField = new Telerik.Sitefinity.Samples.SimpleImageFieldElement(mainSection.Fields)

ID = "itemThumbnailFieldControl",

DataFieldName = "ItemThumbnail",

DisplayMode = displayMode,

Title = "Item Thumbnail",

CssClass = "sfTitleField",

WrapperTag = HtmlTextWriterTag.Li

;

itemThumbnailField.ValidatorConfig = new ValidatorDefinitionElement(itemThumbnailField)

Required = false

;

mainSection.Fields.Add(itemThumbnailField);

Please not that I used Telerik.Sitefinity.Samples.SimpleImageFieldElement from this post.
But some reason in the edit mode I see thumbnail field as a regular TextField not SimpleImageField.
Did I miss something?

PS: some reason in the FireFox sitefinity falls to the infinite page reload loop (usually when I create new items). I have to use IE. Is this known issue?

Yep, known issue, fixed in 4.2 Hotfix 1 and certainly in the new 4.2 SP1 (unless it's a new bug :)

I think I found solution. I just used ImageFieldElement.
This post is acually workaround for news content items. But if you create your own content module you have to use ImageFieldElement.

Steve, you are right, it was fixed in SP1!
