Hello,   I'm trying to show a thumbnail in the listing view. If I only offer one image as a file upload by default, then one image will also be shown. But as soon as I upload more than one image, no image is shown anymore. In the documentation I have the option of another plugin shortcode ultimat and the matching shortcode: 
[su_image_carousel source="media: [12 show=id sep=',']" limit="20" slides_style="default" controls_style="dark" crop="16:9" columns="1" adaptive="yes" spacing="yes" align="none" max_width="none" captions="no" arrows="yes" dots="yes" link="lightbox" target="blank" autoplay="5" speed="medium" image_size="medium" class=""]
This also works well in the detail layout, but not in the listing views.
Does anyone have an idea what I need to do when I have multiimage upload. How do you get an image to be shown as a thumb? I would be happy if someone has a tip.   best regards   susan

I've not done any direct troubleshooting. If it isn't working in listing views "dynamic entries" but it is on detailed views "single entries", it may be that it's trying to render the same ID for the carousel and not able to populate because element ID's have to be unique. Try adding a class to the last parameter like "caroursel_[id]".

Even though the Formidable KnowledgeBase documentation demonstrates the su_image_console shortcode to display a carousel, it is not a Formidable product. When faced with a requirement like yours, many developers create their own shortcodes instead of relying in 3rd-party tools that are subject to change. I don't know that you'll get help with the 3rd-party tool here unless there's a community volunteer already using it or willing to invest the time to install it and troubleshoot, which is highly doubtful. I suggest you open a ticket with Strategy 11 since it's demonstrated in their instructional video. It's possible something changed in Formidable or the 3rd-party tool and you just happened to bump up against it. And worst case, if Strategy 11 can't help, then you may have to consider hiring a developer to help through the issue.

then I ask the question differently, I don't need a third-party tool! I would just like to upload multi-image, i.e. several images, but then no image will appear in the list views. The images are shown in the details view. Why is that?

What happens when you use the default wordpress "gallery" shortcode here? https://codex.wordpress.org/Gallery_Shortcode
