how do I turn post icons on?
|
got it to work pretty sweet thanks my cd cover section is going to love it

Hi
I've installed the "Thumnail in forumdisplay" hack By dechevious but would like to make it work differently. I want to be able to show image attachments inline !! In order to show images inline, normally the "enable thumbnails" needs to be set to "no" in the "message attachment options". Problem is, if you turn thumbnails off you can't create thumnails for the forumdisplay.php page ? (and thus un-doing the whole point of this hack) Is their a way to modify the hack to get this to work ? If anybody's familiar with this hack - Any tips or ideas would be welcome ? |

2. I am a little confused by the way the template is set up. It seems to be showing thumbnails only if there is a post icon in that thread. 3 If there is no thumb, wouldn't it make more sense to show the post icon, if there is one, instead of that NO THUMBNAIL picture? Regards, Matt |
memobug,
2. That is correct. It only shows them if post icons are enabled. 3. Replacing no thumbs with the standard post icon would look *very* strange in terms of rendering - you'd have thumbnails interspersed with very small post icons, and it generally would look horrible. Hope this helps |

2. Actually what I meant is that I only get thumbnails if there is a post icon in that thread, not that post icons have to be enabled (although that is true, too, it is not a problem.). I am probably confused but it wasn't working at all with the provided template: There are two nested ifs in that template, Quote:
3. On mixing thumbs and post icons. I am sure it is a matter of taste, but I find it doesn't look strange at all if you adjust the row height accordingly. I use <td height="100"> if there is a thumbnail and <td height="25"> if there is not (whether there is a post icon or not) it looks fine. I am confused why anyone would want a row of thumbnails advertising that there is no thumbnail, which seems to be rather obvious if no thumbnail is printed! Also, advertising "Nothing to see here!" with the non-thumbnail thumbnail pads out the row height excessively. Regards, Matt |
memobug,
If I recall I changed something with regards to those nested ifs, but I can't remember what am I'm waiting for one of my dedicated boxes to come back up so I can see :) With regards to the showing post icon if no thumbnail, now that you've explained it in that way, it makes perfect sense and would be very useful for stickies in otherwise thumbnail enabled forums. :) I might implement this myself on MTS2. Regards Delphy |
Just as an update - I've re-coded some parts of my version of this hack to allow per-forum thumbnail views configurable via the Admin CP, as well as showing thumbnails in the search/new posts display.
If anybody would be interested, I can provide an update. |
Hi Delphy,
What you're suggesting sounds interesting. I would be interested in seeing it. What I did, to enable USERS to chose the thumbnail option or not is to create a copy of the style with thumbnails turned on. That way the user can make the selection. People on broadband really like it. The ones on dialup sometimes prefer not to load extra images. So I think it's a feature that might best be in the hands of the user rather than the admin. However, one thing I could really use would be the capability to show fewer threads per page if its a thumbnail view, and more threads per page in nothumbs. That would help to normalize the scrolling and load time. Regards, Matt |
memobug,
What I did was set a limit of 10 threads if viewing thumbnails, or the normal 25 if viewing forums without thumbnails. I agree with you on the user selectable thumbnails though - especially in the New Posts search screen. I hadn't considered a style becuase it would still do the mySQL queries to get the attachment ids even if it's not showing the thumbnails, unless you hardcoded the styleid into the php and checked against that. To change the number of threads on a forum that has thumbnails: Edit forumdisplay.php Find the section where you define forumids Code:
$forumids = array(41, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 69, 70, 40, 50, 51, 52, 97, 98); Code:
$perpage = 10; |

this is really a great hack -- but i'd love to know how to do it in the search results also. my php knowledge is fairly minimal -- any ideas?
|
sicloan, works fine here. Might be becuase of some small other changes I made.
Bent, you need to alter search.php Find: Code:

// Delphy's Search Thumbnail Hack |
thanks a million -- that's really great stuff there. it seems to work, but unfortunately it's only displaying the nothumb.gif image -- as if there was no image in the thread (even though there is)
other thing is that that codeblock was around 1200 something, not 2518 -- must be installed mods on your search.php or something my codeblock in search.php looks like this: PHP Code:
|
I have installed, but i can't see anything.
Must I change something in the admin cp ? |
skokari,
did you change the forum ids to the same ones you want thumbnails to appear in? bent concepts, hrm I haven't modified search.php that much at all... so it's weird that yours is on a different line. What version you running? 3.0.7 here |
I'm running 3.07 also.
i hadn't changed it at all from the base unmodified version. what it's doing is displaying the "no thumb" image for all the items in the search. is that code change the only thing that needs to be done in search.php? is there a specific version of this hack that needs to be used in order to get the search to work? i just changed the hack code i was using to the December 20th, 2004 version. thanks |
Hrm
It might be your $forumids = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,); line. Try taking out the last , in that. What I found handy when developing the hack was doing this: Code:
if ($bbuserinfo[userid] == 1) { Obviously turn it off before you go live :) |
one thing about that search.php modification -- it's retrieving the second thumbnail in each post -- how do i make it grab the first instead?
|
Is thier a way to display the last attachement of the thread and not the first one ? I will use this mod for a Work in progress section of my forum, then, the last one is more usefull !
Another request: is it possible to display the attachement in full size and not only in thumbnail with this hack? BTW, thank you very much for this great hack! |
Thomas,
The default will return the last image already. Also, showing the full size image would severly break your templates, so it's not recommended at all - imagine browsing a forum with a bunch of 1024x768 pictures on the forumdisplay... not a pretty sight :) |

memobug,
Thats correct, I think I misunderstood the question. What I meant to say was that, if given multiple attachments in the first post of a thread, it'll return the last of them. It wont scan anything other than the first post (this would actually be fairly database intensive as it would have to go through every post looking for the last attachment. Well, not *every* one, but probably a fair few. Regards, Delphy |
This is the best..
Very cool hack,, this is in my dream I like this more than photopost.com system.. it's looke samilar to www.webshots.com http://community.webshots.com/topics...69_views_0.htm -------------- should add more feature something like admin can add thumbnail for category. |
Not sure what you mean by "thumbnail for category"?

You mean for sub-forums?

Ok, thank you for your answer Delphy. Damn, I hope for your first answer, I'll have to learn all users to update their first post ;)
By the way, thank you for the hack! |
one of my FAVOURITE hacks of all time!
will we be seeing this for vb 3.5? please say yes!! |
Oups, I think we missunderstood ;)
I would say that I like to have the thumbnail version of my attached image in my forumdisplay like you hack do, and have in full size, this image in the threadbit. in fact, use the thumbnail only for the preview you hack do. If you take a look at CGTalk.com (http://www.cgtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=132) this is what it does (and what I want ;) By th way, thank you for this great hack ;) Quote:

I've coded this hack to 3.5.
Anyone still interested in it? I used it again to make a gallery for my forum (what else? ;) ) and this time i used the original hack from dechevious. Take a look at it: http://www.scifi-fan.net |
wohoooo... already wanted to ask if it would be possible to do it. i would love to if i can use it after the upgrade to 3.5! thank you sooooo much for the work and that you share it with the community!
Martin |
I'll post it later on this evening.

abso-freakin-lutely!! great job integrating it. on your site too. btw, do I need a photo program (eg: vbgallery) installed first for this to work? |
I've written the hack further on to a gallery-hack, so you don't need any extra gallery for this. Parts of your forum will act like a gallery. I'm busy on writing the install-text for my gallery-hack for vB 3.5. I'll try to post it this evening.
|
where is this hack coded for 3.5? That would be awesome, I am having trouble with converting the PHP part in forumdisplay.
