[Plone-UI] Display News item images as thumbnails in album_view

[Souheil CHELFOUH]

Actually, the image rotation of a folder is kind of costy
It's doable in a very easy way, but I didn't want to include it,
because of the extra request it does to get the content.
However, if you're looking for the same functionality, I can spend
some time writing a small how to :)
