In typo3, is there is a way to render a thumbnail of an image contained inside an extension table as the icon for the record in the list module?The TCA documentation doesn't seem to say you can!
A:
It is possible to import several different skins for the Typo3 backend, skins that changes the icons in used in the "List Module". For example t3skin and t3skin_improved.
I can't say what it would take to generate thumbnails and use them as icons, but there are several extensions that makes use of GraphicsMagick/ImageMagick to render thumbnails.

It is possible to change the icon in the list module. Place an icon file is your extension folder ext/your_extension and rename it to icon_tx_yourextension_tablename.gif.and add make sure the below key-value is present in the $TCA['tx_yourextension_tablename']:"'iconfile' => t3lib_extMgm::extRelPath($_EXTKEY).'icon_tx_yourextension_tablename.gif'" In my case, i want to change this icon dynamically for each row in the listing. ie. set the value of 'iconfile' based on some database value.Bt this doesnt seem to be possible unless i hack the getIcon function in class.t3lib_iconworks.php

Perhaps you'll get an answer emailing the team-members working with the list module. http://typo3.org/fileadmin/sponsored_projects/list_module_next_generation-v2.pdf
