Thumbnail of Attachments on forum display · **Released**: 12-21-2004

This hack has been requested a number of times, for multiple versions of vBulletin. For whatever reason, it was never done (at least publicly) until now. Heres to wishing each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas, and a prosperous, healthy, and safe, New Year!

What it does: This hack will display a thumbnail of the threads attachment on the forum display. Quite useful if you have forums designated for graphics/photos .. etc. Could also be tweaked to display the posters avatar instead of an attachment. Variable possibilities. (Screenshot attached for further review) and or see it in action at this forum in realtime. If the thread has multiple attachments, it will display the first. If no attachment, a 'no attachment' thumb will appear. Can be assigned for use in any forum you wish it to be active in.

Install time is minimal - Less than 5 minutes for the average joe. (Simplicity at it's Finest)
1 file to modify, and 1 template to modify, along with the upload of an image.

Known Issues: If the attachment is not an image, a thumbnail will not be shown. (IE: .zip or .rar)

If you install it, please click the 'Install' icon - Updates will be sent to those who do.

lasto, give me a link to the forum where you did my version of the hack and I'll take a look.

@delphy: just tried your version and, very strange, if i lock now in that forum it says "no entrys in that forum". (but in the stats it still counts the posts and threats)

also tried the one from dechevious and with that i have the problem that the "no thumb pic" is shown but the real thumbs are just red crosses.

i want this so much. hope you guys continue work!

thank you...

Are you using table prefixes at all? The quick text file I wrote up didn't have prefixes, so you'll need to edit the SELECT ... FROM attachment to include that.

Sounds like an error in the main SELECT $votequery $previewfield query. The only addition I make is the thread.firstpostid field.

Remember, to install my version you need to REMOVE all traces of the previous thumbnail hack.

mhmm... somehow it still don´t work. (maybe i just did the prefix wrong. i have 3dmodeling_ as prefix.. .maybe you can help)

i used a backuped file so there is nothing from previous thumbnail hack...

sorry, maybe i just do something wrong

Nah it's probably my fault - I wrote up the text file stupidly early in the morning

Any chance I could have a look at your modified forumdisplay?

mhobelsb · #39 12-29-2004, 02:47 PM

wrote you a pm with the link. thanks so much for your help and time!
