Allow Thumbnail View To All Groups

[Princeton]

ALLOW THUMBNAIL VIEW TO ALL GROUPS Installation Script 1.3

This hack will enable you to provide thumbnail preview to all groups. It does not change download permissions. For example, you can allow your visitors to "window-shop".

This hack is great if you want to convert "registered members" into "Premium Members".

It will also add a short message to users who do not have download permissions.

You will need to modify:
attachment.php
includes/function_showthread.php

And, add 1 new phrase under Show Thread.

Nice Princeton! I like the idea. Give the guests a teaser!

[nexialys]

this was needed for long... i really appreciate this effort of good ideas.. ;)

[MrNase]

Wow cool, i will use it :)

------------------------------
Doesn't seem to work :(

I installed it but guests can't see the thumbnail.
Or does it work for you?
The thread is located here (http://www.pagodentreff.de/diskussionsforum/showthread.php?p=865) and you should see one thumbnail :)

------------------------------
It does work :D
Great job :)

[Polo]

do you have a url?

Check your settings and make sure your permsissions are set correctly.
If that's ok, modify your template (reverse the conditional).

hi there,
I reverted all the edited code back to normal @ the moment, tried the same again but still probs :S

[Princeton]

I'm having no problems on 2 boards.

Do you have a url where I can check?

[MrNase]

Still not working for me, Iam going to revert the edited code.

MrNase,
I made some changes and it looks like some things where missing ... can you try again?

Just copy the new template mod and the functions_showthread modification....

[MrNase]

Seems to work, thank you :)

[Princeton]

Seems to work, thank you :)

[Highlander]

installation runs about 5 minutes and is very easy :D .. muchas grazias :D from germany

[Princeton]

thank you Highlander

I'll probably be moving this into RELEASE.

From the dawn of time we came... Moving silently down through the centuries. Struggling to reach the time of the Gathering, when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... Until now...

[Dean C]

Moved to Full Releases for you :)

[Princeton]

thank you Dean ... I tried moving the hack myself but it looks like we do not have that option.

[SaN-DeeP]

check the attached document those extra links which should appear in alt tags appear adjacent to image
that appears only for registered users :S

i am not sure wat you meant by last line:
create a new style class called "info" and set the desired style

[Princeton]

SaN-Deep,
do you have a "testing" username that I can use?

The above thumbnail that you provided looks like a template (html) error. It looks fine as Unregistered but I would like to see it as Registered.

create a new style class called "info" and set the desired style It is CSS Stylesheets, you can style your message.
.info{
font-size:10px;
color:#000;
background:#fff;
border:1px solid #ccc;
}
Place the above in your stylesheet found in the template section (dropdown and choose Main CSS).

Another thing, you should modifiy your tool-tip to read:
"You must register to view original-size image?"

Hi everyone,

I installed this mod...went over the directions and applied them twice (redoing it I should say)

But not logged in visitors see this on the attachments. Where did I mess up?:

[Princeton]

found the problem ... it looks like we forgot to close the <phrase>

copy and paste into postbit_attachment:
<tr>
<td><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_attach]/$attachment[attachmentextension].gif" alt="<phrase 1="$attachment[attachmentextension]">$vbphrase[file_type_x]</phrase>" width="16" height="16" border="0" style="vertical-align:baseline" /></td>
<td><a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]">$attachment[filename]</a> ($attachment[filesize], <phrase 1="$attachment[counter]">$vbphrase[x_views]</phrase>)
<if condition="$show['gtp_thumbnail_only']"><div class="info">$vbphrase[gtp_cannot_download]</div></if></td>
</tr>

let me know if this fixes your problem

Nope...this didn't fix it for me either.

[Princeton]

<img class="thumbnail" src="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=1" border="0" alt="" title="$vbphrase[gtp_cannot_download]" />
<else />
<a href="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]"><img class="thumbnail" src="attachment.php?$session[sessionurl]attachmentid=$attachment[attachmentid]&amp;stc=1&amp;thumb=1" border="0" alt="" title="<phrase 1="$attachment[filename]" 2="$attachment[counter]" 3="$attachment[filesize]">$vbphrase[image_larger_version_x_y_z]</phrase>" /></a>

</if>
<if condition="$show['br']"><br /><br /></if>
Wow works perfect now :)
Thnx for immediate update.

FYI - I still have not added the CSS "info" and its working fine.
I am not sure, how and where you meant to add same ?

Regards,

[Princeton]

the class "info" is optional--it's meant to give some style to the message (look at the images provided)

If you want to add style -- just add the code into your CSS (within Admincp/Styles & Templates/Style Manager/ (dropdown click MAIN CSS) --scroll to the bottom and insert the code within the ADDITIONAL CSS DEFINITIONS

[YLP1]

I have the same problem --- see graphic

[SaN-DeeP]

hey YLP1,
check the new install file once again, All the bugs are fixed and works fine now
thnx to priceton :)

[YLP1]

Hi there.... I don't follow check the new install file? Watcha mean? Doh.... I figured it out......

Ok, I reinstalled the mod and all looks great except I have a question. For my non registered/logged in visitors (who normally cannot d/l or view the attachments) they can see only a standard thumbnail image (not the actual thumbnail of the image).

I don't have thumbnails viewing on because my members prefer to see the actual graphic attachment.

Is there a way to allow for the pic of the actual graphic attachment versus the standard vanilla thumbnail image?

[mefromspace]

Hey,
Just tried and installed the hack but got errors when going to view any thread on any forum:

Parse error: parse error in /var/www/virtual/site/htdocs/forum/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 247

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: construct_postbit() in /var/www/virtual/site/htdocs/forum/showthread.php on line 939

Any idea when the hack will be final for the 3.0.3 version ?

great hack if i can get it to work im sure!

this hack is final...

Remove the code that you pasted ... check and make sure there is no error.
Insert/Modify per instructions -- make sure your pasted code is similar to what is in the instructions.

[mefromspace]

Perfect!

Just did as you said and now bingo it works awsome!

1 question im very new at this thing...how amd where do i add the "new style class"

.info{
font-size:10px;
color:#000;
background:#ffffd6;
border:1px solid #ccc;
}

clicking install

[Princeton]

go into your STYLE MANAGER and insert within the Additional CSS Definitions

VIEW ALL TEMPLATES/ choose MAIN CSS from the dropdown

[shiva]

Great idea, I just asked about this at VBa, with a thumbnail hack for the front page, so have to try this. Thanks. :)

[Electronic Punk]

Any chance of updating this for 3.5? :)

[InFloW]

Yeah that be great :)

[Rover416]

I agree.

Would be very useful for my forum on 3.5.

[mefromspace]

Yeah i wanna update to 3.5 from 3.03 and have this currently installed but need to use it for 3.5 when i migrate over...

Anyone got this working in 3.5 ????

[ConqSoft]

Another vote for a 3.5 version of this...

[bubble-gum]

Oh yes, please http://www.edel-zicken.de/images/smilies/anbet.gif

[ConqSoft]

Update for 3.6.4? :)

[Mutt]

i'm looking for a 3.64 version of this and having no luck. little help? thanks

[ConqSoft]

I hired a programmer to do an attached image watermarking hack for me, and I had him throw in the option of allowing guests to view thumbnails also. Everything is done and working well. I'll be posting it as a free, unsupported, modification soon.
