What does imageLocalService.updateImage(... exactly do

[Morad Ahmad, módosítva 9 év-val korábban]

Hallo,

I try to upload images for different entities...

Each entity has also a "small image". For that I use ths imageLocalService to add such a small image.

imageLocalService.updateImage(smallImageId, smallImageBytes);

Q1. This works well. However I do not understand what these call exactly do? Where is the images sotred? In the document library or in the file system? Db?

Q2. Can I use these method to add a list of images for my entities or is it better to upload the images to the document library with DL...Util?

Thanks,
Morad.

A1. Yes. Depending upon how you have configured your doc lib, it could go to filesystem or db or ...

A2. No. The small image usually means a thumbnail. Actually Liferay will create a thumbnail for all images that you load so you shouldn't need to do the small images yourself.
