Hello everyone, I have the pluggin installed however it is only showing up only in one thread but not the others. I have permission for guest and registered usered to allow view, downloading, and uploading of attachements but still no luck.


http://www.hiphopcars.com/forums/hip...-video-vixens/
but not at
http://www.hiphopcars.com/forums/40-...-themed-rides/

I am using the code below to select all forums however the original version gave me the same issue of a thumbnail showing up only once if at all.


"$tt_thumbsforums = array();
$tt_displaythumbs = false;

if (!in_array($forumid, $tt_thumbsforums)) {
$tt_displaythumbs = 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' OR attachment.extension = 'jpeg')) ";
$hook_query_where .= "GROUP BY thread.threadid ";
}"


Any suggestions are appreciated

This plugin will ONLY display a thumbnail for the FIRST post of a thread, and, ONLY an image posted as an attachment, using Manage Attachments, will show as a thumbnail picture. Posts with Image INSERTs and LINKs won't show as thumbnails in the post nor as thumbnails in this plugin. I hope this helps answer your question.

P.S. NeverBored has a work around that might work for you. See page 9, posts 125 and 128.

Okay I was over looking the fact that this mod works for only the FIRST post of the thread. I was assuming that the mod searched or skipped post until it found the first attachment to use as a thumbnail.

I read somewhere that you were working on editing/tweaking the mod over a weekend so it would at least search in the FIRST and Second post for and attachment. Did you have any luck with that? I really want every post to have a thumbnail without me have to be the first one to create a topic and attach an image for use as a thumbnail.

Thanks a million theOzer!

luxotic,
I have yet to 'crack' how to show all thumbnails in a thread and/or display the 1st thumbnail found in a thread, be it in the first post or in any subsequent post in the thread.
Thanks for the kudos. I really mean that. This is an important mod that any and all Art forums just MUST have. I still, to this minute, do NOT understand why vB has NOT incorporated this hack into the mainstream vB code. I mean, WtF, it wouldn't be all that complicated to do for the vB coders to write and install.
~OZ

Your absolutely right, it should be apart of the package. I will keep my eyes on this thread and maybe something will eventually happen. Until then I will work with it as is. Take care!

luxotic,
In case you missed it, I did crack how to display/show thread thumbnails in Tag Searches. See page 12, post # 169.
I'll PM you if I ever figure out how to show all thumbnails/1st thumbnail in a thread.
~OZ

Something is MISSING.

In many cases, I'm guessing the thread started will be attaching MANY images. Why not allow the user to select WHICH of the attachments is used for the thumbnail with a RADIO BUTTON on the MANAGE ATTACHMENTS screen?

I would install this in 11 seconds if this feature was included. vBadvanced dynamics has this and I think its incredibly useful.

Any way we can incorporate this, PLEAAAAASE?

I contacted the forum that is using a custom mod that displays the first hotlinked image as a thumbnail in forumdisplay (http://www.inspiring-photography.com...isplay.php?f=7) and he provided me with this link, http://icant.co.uk/articles/phpthumbnails/

I don't know what to make of it, but maybe it would help someone solve this issue for all of us with this mod. I didn't press the guy to share his own code...

Once again we've dodged the bullet and thread thumbnails still works in another vB upgrade, this one to vB3.8.0 Beta 1.
In vB3.8.0 Beta 1 you will need to add the thread thumbnail code to search.php and/or tags.php if you have either/both plugins active.
Here are both the vB3.8.0 Beta 1 search.php and tags.php updated to work with the plugins 'Thread Thumbnails - Search' regular Search and 'Thread Thumbnails - Tag Search' Tags search (see page 12, post #169).

I can't do that! :(
I changed " $thumbsforums array" (2,3,4,5,6 ) but i cant see any change!
I have vB 3.7.3

Hello ricardoNJ,
This mod works in vB 3.7.3.

Hey, I installed it in my Vbulletin 3.7.4 and it works. I used only the thumbnail in posts function and not the search and tags options that mentioned in this thread. (***Installed and Nominated ***)

I wonder if we could find a way to make the plugin to search a little bit further into the posts of a thread and
a) find an image thumb to use (deeper in the trhead) automatically If the first posts don't have any images.
b) If the administrator (or in general we could have permissions for usergroups for yes/no to the thread-starters) is not happy with the automatic result, then he could be able to set what image the admin like through the image attachments of every posts in a thread (choose what he want by choosing the apropriate image attachment or even attach an external image). :-)

Also..., because I have a forum for art (3D Modeling) and what I am searching for is a plugin that can do the below:
1. Admin should be able to "Special Rate a thread" (or better choose it via normal thread selection) and put it to an Thread Archive Spotlight that can be found in the forumhome.(something like the Recent album pics on forum home plugin, but instead of albums pics, I want to have threads and a thread thumbnail and when someone click the thumbnail, the forum should land him to the appropriate thread...!!!
2. If someone press the Archive link/button to the forum home (it should be one there for this kind of plugin), then, all the spotlighted threads history should appear as thumbnail board with titles above (or without titles), with several pages (for example we could have table of thumbnails of 5 Horizontal X 10 Vertical Thumbnails and number of pages...!!!)

I am willing to pay for this kind of plugin for the thread Archive Spotlight. If everyone knows something I would like to hear it (PM me):-)

is there any newr version of this hack??

None that I know of.

FYI: I posted that thread thumbnails would be a good enhancement to vB4.0 on vB.com's vB4.0 WishList forum (now a closed forum) and was notified that my request was deleted because there already was a request of that nature on their v4.0 list and, so...., maybe, just maybe, we'll see this simple, priceless thread thumbnail mod incorporated into vB's Version 4.0 base code. We will see.

Does this work for .png images?

It should; the plugin checks for .jpg, .gif, and .png.

Hi,

I have vb 3.7 version. From the Admin panel i tried to import/download the .xml file, but i am not able to do it.

I am new to vb..so can you please tell me how do i get the xml file and then install the plugin.

Thanks.

Hi,

I installed the plugin..but it is dispalying no thumbnails available file instead of showing the attachment.

Please let me know what needs to be done..i am using 3.7.4 vb version.

Thanks

Did somebody get the search results working with GARS header images
instead of attachment thumbnails?

indiawilds, I sent you a PM. Hope it helps.

Cocko, What is 'GARS header images?' Is that a person or a software package or...?

Geek Article and Review System (GARS) LITE or the paid GARS

Header images are uploaded images from article / review authors
which are shown in threadlists and stored by GARS but not vB
attachment system.

It would be interresting how search results from Thread Thumbnail
and GARS get together.

Cocko,
I got on thevBGeek forum; this GARS Module update/whatever has yet to be written by them; the vB3.5.3 GARS LITE Version 1 on vB.org doesn't contain the threadblock.php file.
Get me a copy of this threadblock.php and I'll see if I can figure out how to incorporate this into displaying uploaded images in vB.
I probably can't help you here, but, we will see.

Howdy!
I upgraded 3.7.4 from 3.6.8 and I can't get Thread Thumbnail to work.
Thread Thumbnails worked great with 3.6.8.

Is it something I might be doing wrong or is it not compatible with 3.7?

Thanks James

James,
Yes, this mod works in vB3.7.4, also in vB3.8.0 betas & RC1.
After reverting your threadbit template(s) to vB374 did you re-add the thread thumbnail code to the threadbit template(s)? The threadbit template IF statement you need to update is a bit different from vb3.6.8's threadbit template but you should be able to figure it out, where to add Jason's TT code.
If you have the 'Thread Thumbnail - Search' plugin turned ON - Did you add the TT code to the vB3.7.4 search.php file? (see Post # 112 on Page 8, the change also applies to vB374)
If you have the 'Thread Thumbnail - Tag Search' plugin turned ON - Did you add the TT code to the vB3.7.4 tags.php file? (see Post # 169 on page 12, this change also applies to vB374)
I have a bit lengthy (too lengthy to post) write up on installing just the forum Thread Thumbnails mod. I can PM you it if you're interested.
Regards, theOZer

Hi,

I am using vbulletin 3.7.4 version. I have enabled the display thumbnails option for viewing thumbnails in the thread by using the hack thread thumbnails.

I have also enabled the view image inline to view full images in the posts.
I want the attachment to be seen as a full image instead of a thumbnail in the posts.

Please let me know how i can see both the thumbnails and the attachments.

Thanks

Hi,

After using this plugin i am able to see the thumbnails in the thread, with the display thumbnail option set to 'yes', but by doing that the attachments also appear as thumbnails.

so can you please suggest a way out in which i am able to see the thumbnails as well as view the attachments in line in the posts.

really need your help in this.

Thanks.

Keep thumbnails on, but edit the thumbnail template to display the full size image. If that's not enough info I explained exactly what to do earlier in this thread, just find my post.

I have recently installed this mod, which seems to be working quite well, but for some reason when I go into the Quick Links >> New Posts, a bunch of code is displayed and it doesn't give me any of the new posts within the forum. Did I do something wrong? I do not have the thumbnail search enabled either, could that be it?

StormLily,
The Thread Thumbnail - Search plugin is installed as 'Active' along with the forum Thread Thumbnail plugin when you do the install. If you have not also tweaked Search.php, adding Jason's code, you will get database errors when you do a New Post search. You need to go into Plugin Manager to turn plugins On/Off, to turn this plugin Off, if applicable.
Does this help?

What exactly needs to be done with the Search.php?

The search.php supplied with this mod works in vB3.6.8-9. It most likely works in vB3.6.10-12.

To use the Thread Thumbnail - Search plugin in either/both vb3.7.x and vB3.8.x you need to tweak your copy of search.php, then turn this Thread Thumbnail - Search plugin ON. See my post on Page 8, Post #112 for the search.php code tweak.

Hope this helps. ~OZ

Always test changes first in your testvb instance.

Rename, NEVER DELETE, your current copy of search.php, e.g., rename it to search_original.php. Easy to go back to it if things go awry.

Can you please tell me in detail, i tried to search for your post but was unable to find the relevant information.

Please let me know how to set the image size to full in the post.

Thanks.

Hello,

Can you please let me know what i need to do to display the images in full in the post.

What do i change in the Thumbnail file?

It is really urgent.

Awaiting your reply.
Thanks.

If it's that urgent try doing a 'Search this Mod' looking for Neverbored.

Wonder if anyone can help...I really want to use this mod but no matter what I do the thumbnail in the thread is huge (the actual size of the uploaded image).

I have 'create thumbnails' turned on and made them size 150px...but it made the thumbnails in the post tiny...but the thread thumbnails were still huge.

Any help anyone?

Hello,

I am desperately seeking your advice. I am using your hack for displaying thumbnails in the thread. But after making the view Thumbnails option i am not able to view the attachments in the post.

Can you please tell me in detail what settings I have to do to the Thumbnail template to display the thumbnails as well as the attachment in the post.

I am waiting eagerly for your reply, since i am facing the problem in my forum.

Thanks.

Hello,

At last found your code and updated the template. The thumbnail issue is solved.

Thanks a lot NeverBored and theOZer.

Regards.

Hello Lulubelle,
If you're talking about the Threads in Forum displayed thumbnails add Width and Height to the thread thumbnail <img src= threadbit template code where applicable.
For example, try this (change 50 to whatever size value you end up liking):
<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" width="50" height="50" border="0" />
~OZ

that worked great thanks!! :D

works on 3.8 RC2
