Another good addition to your hack would be:

A separated rating system not using thread rating.
Make a click option from 1 to 10
then make a vote average calculation

This would go nicely with a "dia show"
If you choose a category a random image is shown and you can vote on it.
If you have voted the next random image is shown and you can vote on that
beside the next image the old image is shown as thumbnail with the avarage voting shown below

But this would be a major addition

It?s just an idea ;)

Harald_T,

regarding of this attractive idea :

But ..

the first row displays last 4 Thumbnails from cat #143 (under the cat itself )
and the other row doing tha same for another cat ..

you can use <IF conditon > in the tamplate to do this ..
some thing like this ..

-------------------------------------------
<IF condition="show forums">

forum content .. bla bla bla

<IF condition="forumID=XX, XX">
display the last 4 Thumbnails row
</IF>

</IF>
-------------------------------------------

;)

Thumbnails still don't work! I don't even get red Xs. http://www.civicowners.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=48

As far, as i could see, the gallery works (i registered and made an test-upload).
Did you installed Image Magick or GD?

If so, are you sure, you enabled the thumbs in the attachment-manager (in the AdminCP)?

Huh? Nothing? But it should be, unless Jelsoft would have released two different versions of RC1.

If it doesn't work, please contact me by mail.

Good News: Beside of ONE file-edit the rest of the gallery-system works now as a plug-in. It seems, i begin to understand, how the plugins works... :D

email sent.

Still doesn't show up...*checks admin panel* GD is present, version 2+
Thumbs are enabled for all image types.

Numb question: Did you enable Thumbs in the image-options?

Yes...PNG thumbnail generation is off. Having it on/off had no effect on my issue.
