vb.org Archive - Forum Display Enhancements

NeverBored, Nice approach.

The forum exclusion logic NeverBored wrote could also be incorporated into this plugin tweak of mine, making it at that point a fairly comprehensive as well as solid mod/hack that covers all the bases.

First & Foremost do this/test this in your testvb forum before actually doing this in your forrealzie vB forum.

This Thread Thumbnail tweak:

Keeps Jason's original 'your selected forum IDs' thread thumbnail logic in place, which shows NO THUMBNAIL AVAILABLE if no thread 1st post thumbnail.
Adds thread thumbnail display to all other forums. If there's no thread 1st post thumbnail then the vB default thread icon is displayed.
All img lines of code have been wrapped in href tags, not just the thumbnailed threads. [If this adds "Server Issues" then delete the href open/close a tag code wrap.]

Installation instructions:

1) Temp Disable, with eventual intent to delete, the Thread Thumbnail plugin.

2) Save the following code as an XML file, naming it whatever you want, e.g., thread-thumbnail-plugins-all-forums.xml. Then load this XML file through your Admin Control Panel > Plugins & Products > Download/Upload Plugins > Import Plugin Definitions XML File window, Import the .xml file you just created. This creates plugin 'Thread Thumbnails - All Forums'.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<plugins>

<plugin active="1" executionorder="5" product="vbulletin">

<title>Thread Thumbnail - All Forums</title>

<hookname>forumdisplay_query</hookname>

<phpcode><![CDATA[$tt_thumbsforums = array(2);

$tt_displaythumbs = false;

if (in_array($forumid, $tt_thumbsforums)) {

$tt_displaythumbs = true;

}

$tt_displaythumbs_all = true;

$hook_query_fields .= ", attachment.thumbnail_filesize AS thumbsize , MIN(attachment.attachmentid) AS attachmentid ";

$hook_query_joins .= "LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "attachment as attachment ON(attachment.postid = thread.firstpostid AND (attachment.extension = 'jpg' OR attachment.extension = 'gif' OR attachment.extension = 'png')) ";

$hook_query_where .= "GROUP BY thread.threadid "; 

]]></phpcode>

</plugin>

</plugins>

Add the forum IDs you want thumbnailed, the ones where you definitely expect art post attachments, to the $tt_thumbsforums array.

Click on a forum you want thumbnailed(, or look it up in AdminCP > Forums & Moderators > Forum Manager).
In the browser window you should see something like this:
yourforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36
IN THIS EXAMPLE, 36 is your forum's forum ID. This goes in the array.
In AdminCP edit your Thread Thumbnail plugin, adding forum 36 to the array:
example, $tt_thumbsforums = array(36);
Separate multiple forums you want thumbnailed with a comma (,):
example, $tt_thumbsforums = array(36, 37);

3) In all your threadbit templates add this code tweaking it to your liking.

[Note: This code includes IF statements that handle thumbnailing 1) Tag Searches (see vB.org, Thread Thumbnails, page 13, Post # 193), 2) New Posts & regular Searches (see vB.org, Thread Thumbnails, page 12, Post # 169), 3) forums (original mod logic). Delete the IF statement section(s) that do NOT apply to you.]

Find in threadbit template:

Code:

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">

<td class="alt2"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>

</if>

Replace with:

Code:

<!-- OMAC Thread Thumbnails -->

<!-- in this code:  -->

<!-- All img lines of code have been wrapped in href tags, not just threads with thumbnails -->

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">

   <td class="alt2" align="center" valign="middle">

<!-- Tag Search -->

   <if condition="($tt_displaythumbs_tags)">

     <if condition="($thread['attachmentid']) AND ($thread['thumbsize'])">

        <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]">

            <img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" border="0" />

        </a>

     <else />

<!-- and, don't forget to close all the If stmts with vB's original If stmt code that we've just bastardized. -->

       <if condition="$show['threadicon']">

        <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]">

        </a>

       <else />

         &nbsp;

       </if>

     </if>

<!-- end_of Tag Search -->

   <else />

<!-- New Posts & regular Search -->

     <if condition="($tt_displaythumbs_search)">

       <if condition="($thread['attachmentid']) AND ($thread['thumbsize'])">

          </a>

       <else />

<!-- and, don't forget to close all the If stmts with vB's original If stmt code that we've just bastardized. -->

         <if condition="$show['threadicon']">

           <a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]">

           <img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" />

           </a>

         <else />

           &nbsp;

         </if>

       </if>

<!-- end_of New Posts & regular Search -->

     <else />

<!-- Thread Thumbnails in All Forums -->

<!-- Your forum IDs you added to the $tt_thumbsforums array will show thread 1st post thumbnail or the "NO THUMBNAIL AVAILABLE" icon -->

       <if condition="($tt_displaythumbs)">

       <else />

         <if condition="($tt_displaythumbs_all)">

             </a>

           <else />

             &nbsp;

           </if>

         </if>

       </if>

     </if>

   </if>

   </td>

</if>

<!-- end of OMAC Thread Thumbnails -->

Once you get this to work then go ahead and delete the original Thread Thumbnail plugin -OR- just keeping it disabled works too.
