Latest Album Pictures - Forum Home

It shows the pictures added to the albums on the main page. It shows only the public mentioned files. If not shows the reasons are: vbulletin settings show albums must be enabled.

The user grup that owns the pictures must be enabled show picture setting. Or there is no picture to show.

You can show the pictures in 4 different sections: Navbar Bellow, Forums Above, Forums Below, Whois Online Below

Additionally you can slect the number of pictures that can be shown.

Hope it works for you as I like it very much.

Hey Atakan,

Been using this for awhile on 3.7. Works in 3.8. Any reason to update? Thanks.

I've been trying to modify this extension to display random images on every page. I've changed the code a bit (to look for another tempate marker) and used another hook - parse_template for a plugin. It works fine but causes very high load on the server (I have more than 500 users online).
Do you think there's another, less server intense, way to have it on every page (let's say - under navbar)?

Hmm seems that if I also use your tag cloud mod both using the below forums option, one of them doesn't show, if they are in different places they are fine ;)

Good work :up:

good atakan thanks

Excellent ;) thanks.

Great job, simple to install and if you later want to remove it, it's just as easy.

Just import, and it's ready to go!

This mod is really neat and easy to use.

My wish list:
1)that it be set to display pictures randomly from selected albums
2)that it can pull images from selected albums in Flickr
3)Time setting for the pictures
4)Dissolve transitions

Anyone knows of a mod as neat as this one, that has the above features? I am Ok if it has to be purchased commercially.

Thanks!

*installed*

Is there a way, just for this mod only, to resize the thumbs? Thanks, rg.

Excellent *installed* would be nice to resize thumbs though ;);)

Hi Rolando,

In template afm_picture you would just need to add width or height attributes to the thumbnails

In this case they're sized 50 px

Thank you! It worked, here's the link, http://www.phototherapy.org/forums/index.php Thanks! rg sends!

Anyone knows why guests can't see public albums on my forum? I enabled everything for the Not registered usergroup but they can't even see anything on this random album.

Is there something I miss?

Hello, I use ibproarcade for vBulletin. I do not get the Hack meat about Forumhome run. How can I make this, so that I can see the Hack meat on footer or furnish? My style also has nobody navbar.

Same problem here...

I found the reason:

usergroup manager/ unregsiterd users/ General Permissions/ Can View Member Info

set this to "Yes".

The problem is, I do not want this to be on "Yes",

I want to display the thumbnails nevertheless for unregistered users. If they click on it, the same error alert shall appear as if they click on a userprofile (when set in ACP on "No").

How can I do this?

Another suggestion:

Could this hack be modified so that the 5 thumbnails are shown always from 5 different users?

I found a compromise: The option in ACP to show thumbnails as random images. Not perfect, but already better.

so the only major problem is the guest viewing possibility or the lack of. I have everywhere no image display for guests, but I still want to have these thumbnails visible as thumbnails to attract new guests so that they register.

How can I do this?

Hi

I tried this now with the exact same settings with another 3.8 Gold install (the other one was only 3.8 RC2).

But now the album pictures do not show anymore for unregistered users. No matter which settings I choose.

Can anybody help here?

Problem solved, I had the wrong setting in User Album Permissions

But please find a way to display those album images on forum home for unregistered users WITHOUT enabling the "Can View Member Info " Option!

This is just I didn't upgrade from 3.7.3 to 3.7.4 just because this hack didn't work with me on 3.7.4 :D

now I can upgrade to 3.8.0 :D

thank u again :)

Who can help me with this? I am willing to pay for this!

?ok m?barek bir insansın :D

thank you for all the great mods atakan. really appreciated.

Is it possible to display the thumbnails vertical?

is this mod still supported? I asked now 3 times this important question within a couple of weeks and no response at all?

So what's up?

... and atakan has disabled his PM and e-mail function.

So what shall we do now?

Still waiting on this same issue

That would mean that if you were trying to hide album images from guests, it wouldn't work. So, it's a bad idea.

I think you're not getting this

They shall only see the thumbnails, not the images . So if they click on it, without beeing logged in, they shall get the same alert as always: "you have to be logged in to be able to see/read..."

So privacy is not an issue. And if you want to, you can implement also a yes/no option for the case that you even do not wnat them to see the thumbnails.

But the hack makes the most sense for marketing purposes to attract new users to your forum. Without my asked modification of this hack, it uses only 30% of its potential value.

My members have been loving this mod. Thank you, so much.

Question: Does it only show public albums? That's what I'd prefer, but there are so many photos it's difficult for me to tell. It would be my understanding that it doesn't show private albums and profile albums. Further, since the introduction of 3.8 members have the option of also setting their profile as viewable by certain categories (everyone, registered members, friends, etc). If they set it to, say, only viewable by friends, then do those photos get shown in the "random album photos?"

Is there any way to change the width of the Latest Albums tables, its currently stretching out of the page.

Try one less thumbnail

Where is this file located?
afm_picture

No it doesnt work with one less thumbnail :(. Here is what it looks like currently:

I fixed the afm_picture but I get some of the images with huge pixels , how could I fix this?

Where I can change from left align to center align?

Can I change "Latest Album Picture" to something else? I tried changing the title but that didn't seem to work.
