PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs (Just incase basic templates bore you.)
 

Right well I did not like the way the Thumbnails appeared on the Forum Index from PhotoPlog, just made it look like every other site. I also was not happy with the fact that they ONLY showed on the Forum Index.

This is just a nice little change, also my first released plugin of any kind so any virtual bullying will be counter attacked with an onslaught of mouldy oranges.

So here is a little plugin by me, basically just an edit of the original so credit must go to Calorie too. Wonderful thing he/she/it has done with this gallery. :)

For examples see the screenshots.

By the way this requires that you actually have the PhotoPlog Gallery Installed. (Go Get it!)

Installation Instructions:

1. Upload the Plugin.
2. Add the following code to any Template. For best results add it somewhere such as the Very Bottom of the navbar or soemthign else which is included throughout the site. ;)
   Code:

   ---

   $photoplog_thumbs

   ---

3. Your done.

If you would like to edit the appearance or number of thumbnails shown then this next part is for you. ;)

Editing the appearance of the Thumbnails.
Open the PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs Plugin for editing.
Search for this Code:
Edit anything in the 'style' tag to suit.

To edit the number of Thumbnails Shown.
Open the PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs Plugin for editing.
Search for this Code:
And simply change the number to the number of Thumbnails you would like to appear.


To show on vBadvanced (If you are displaying thumbs in header or navbar etc..)
Admin CP > vBA CMPS > Edit Pages > Home Page > Portal Output Global Variables > add: photoplog_thumbs

Anyone read my blog yet? LOL

Thank you.

awesome

dang! this makes we want to uninstall vbaGallery and install photoblog JUST for this!!

nice!! nice!! :)

very nice hack! cheers!

cracking addition, only problem is, while it looks pretty good at 800 x 600 res, any higher, and the pics are all over the place...ie....not aligned equally....

even your screen shot shows this....

could be a problem where ppl have sites like mine, with varying width styles....

ive adjusted width in the plugin, so its exactly ok with 8 images in 800 x 600 res, but in 1280 x 1024, it looks bobbins.

cracking addition tho m8
