v3 Articles 1.0.1 - Hack to solve "thumbnails not showing"-problem
 

Ok, the thumbs problem was really an issue for me and therefore I figured out how to fix this problem.

At first: The problem is not that the thumbs are not displayed correctly, they are not stored correctly! So after applying this fix, only new attachments thumbs are shown, old attachments must be reattachted manually.

The reason is that John used a function from vB to generate thumbs which has been modified in 3.03.

Please replace the articleattachment.php with the new one. If you have changed anything before this hack, please download the hacked version and search for "arpy" to find the only 2(!) additional lines in it and patch your file.

Please click install if it works for you. I would love to get some feedback. Thanks!

Thanks :)

Congrats Arpy for fixing this which was a big issue to many of us.

Thumbs up, Clicks Install.

Edit: Works Super Deluxe

this is not a major addition, so this hack is to be released as a Addon...

also, why not post this modification inside the thread related to v3 articles instead os releasing it individually ??

A Link is posted in the original thread ;) and what matters the rest!

Cheers! *clicks install*

nice.

for some reason my thumbnails still do not show.. would there be any reason why?

Did you try it with a new uploaded attachment?

The only reason I would expect is that there is no gdlib installed or configured. There is no error handling when creating the thrumbnail...

I installed v3articles yesterday, it took me hours to find all the fixes in the 25-pages thread (the SQL prefix fix and I also had the SQL-error because of not saving the vb-options).

I just did the fix for myself - and because I saw there are many people having the same problem I released it. If this is the wrong category, it can be moved.

Unfortunalely, John seems to be very busy and he is not editing his release post with any updates - which would be the best solution.
