Cover images on main site frontpage

Theming
1

Is there a way or shortcode to add cover images to main frontpage?

e.g.,
theme%20cover . . .

Hello - did you ever find out a way to do this? Which theme are you using? Aldine? We’re trying to also put in a cover image.

Thanks!

This is a very old message that I believe was in reference to original site library homepage that automatically created thumbnails of the catalog. This was a great feature but was gone with the more recent versions of Pressbooks. Now you have to create the images manually on the homepage e.g., http://epub-fhd.athabascau.ca/ … unless someone has a plugin.

Cheers,
Steve

@ksattler There’s no native way to do this in Pressbooks currently with the Aldine theme. There is a feature request in our backlog to add support for this, which you can follow here: https://github.com/pressbooks/pressbooks-book/issues/44, however. Agree that it would be nice to have for many networks!
