This truly befuddles me; why has this never been addressed; am I the only art forum out there with posted art attachments?

Well, anyhow, past the griping?

Things have really changed in vB4 and this mod, at first glance, will NOT be readily interfacable into the new scheme of things that vB has mixed up. Gone, gone are the $dataquery, $items and stuff like that, the Hooks I believe is what they are/were called.
So?
At this point I can not see a way to incorporate this mod?s approach into the vB4 templates and php.
Has anyone else had a gem of wisdom here as to how to proceed, once again, in finding a way in vB4 to display thread thumbnails of forum thread listings, search and tag search listings? Please let us know.
Ciao, theOZer

well, its easy to get the thumbnail to display, it just looks like crap lol I am messing around with the CSS now so as to have minimum impact on the default CSS for forumdisplay but gah!

not sure how much you've done, but it only requires a couple simple changes to the plugin and adding some code to the threadbit template..

bobster65,
That's great news. Could you share what you've learned with the rest of us? The 'a couple simple changes,' the 'and adding some code code to threadbit.' Sounds good and I would love to know how you did it.

Does it work with vbAdvanced CMPS?

Did the Author give you permission to take this over or port it to vb4? If not, I can't just post a vb4 version of this without his consent. If he did, then let me know.

Thx for you help; what part of Jason Merchant does not support this mod AND HASN'T SINCE HE RELEASED IT and everyone else who uses it has tried to pick up the slack isn't kosher with you?
I did NOT know there was some code of ethics here?
And, stop quoting; any one following this thread can look up at the post above the current post to 'get the drift.'

Whoa dude.. whats with the attitude towards someone that is wanting and trying to help? I asked you a very simple question on if the original author had given you permission to take over his work. I looked at the Mod Post and didn't see a remark that he gave you permission to take it over and I wasn't going to sift through all the pages to see if he did. He also didn't mark it with REUSABLE CODE (meaning that anyone could borrow his code and release it). Marking a Modification as Un Supported does not mean that anyone can just take it over.

I am MORE than willing to create a new Mod for vb4, hell, I was going to just give YOU the code so that you could post it as a new mod and support it, but wow with the attitude. NOT the response I thought I'd get, but then again, it doesn't surprise me here anymore.

theOZer 02-04-2010 04:01 PM

Sorry.
I apologize.
I'll figure it out on my own. And, if I succeeed, I'll share my success with every one that has been following this mod and using this mod and needing the thumbnails to show in their forums.
And, I tried to contact this Jason Merchant. He did not respond. I tried to contact vB.org on how I could help or take over supporting this mod but, also here, I got no response.
So...whatever.

Hope everyone can shake hands and continue with this project. :) theOZer has made substantial contributions to the functionality and longevity of this mod. (Thank you, sir.)

I dropped Jason Merchant an email via his site, in case that helps. Hopefully something will come of it.

I'm still shocked that this functionality isn't available in vB4 by default. It is absolutely required. (For everything from threads to articles to blogs...)

I have a coder friend of mine who wrote a custom code that did this for my VB3.- forum. I'll engage him to see if he can't figure out how to pull it off with VB4. If he does I'll post the addon here for everyone.

And geez.. play nice kids - it's just a Web site.

Hey this is a great mod, I love it!
I was wondering , is there a way use the latest attached image to the thread as a thumbnail, instead of the first one?
We are doing work in progress threads on my forum and usually the last attached image is more representative of the work done.

Cheers
