Display sharepoint image as thumbail in customer portal

Posted on by 15

I need to display the images on the CRM Portal which are stored on Sharepoint integrated to Dynamics 365 as a gallery view.

I am able to connect with SharePoint and list the images in the portal, but it is being listed as file names and the user needs to download it inorder to view the image.

Is there any way to display them as a thumbnail or in a gallery in the customer portal?

Thanks,

RK

    I've got a blog post on the subject:

    Colin Vermander also has a lot of information about Companion Apps:

    You sure can - in fact I've done exactly what you're describing before (photo gallery based on images in SharePoint).

    The Companion App is typically an ASP.NET Website, so you can do anything you want, including the SharePoint API.

    No out-of-the-box option for this.  You'd probably need to make use of a companion app:
