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.

I think it's very interesting and that you're on to something Harald. The page is too wide (too many columns) for your page layout though.

Regards,

Matt

Yup, but that's because of the size of the attachments. It's no problem to set the columns to 3 or 4 (or set the size of the attachments down).

I'm not finished yet, as i want to change the templates a little bit further.

Mostly of adding to the hack of Delphy is template work. There is only some very simple PHP-work to do.

This is, what it looks like, with size of thumbs set to 140 (see attachment).

I still trying to find out, how to change the layout for showthread-template, cause i don't have $displaythumbs in showthread.php. I need it for checking only, if i'm in the gallery or not. Any ideas (i'm not the expert in PHP i have to say).?

Found out how i had to check it. So now i can use special-templates for the gallery.

Harald_T · #76 01-16-2005, 10:25 AM

Anyone interested in making this hack into a gallery?

Delphy · #77 01-17-2005, 07:59 AM

Actually, I would

O.k., i'll write it down and post it later on this day.

Thanks for all your hard work

O.k., i think, i've got it so far. :nervous:

I included all files in a zip-files, including an image for the upload-button.

This hack isn't still finished, i'm trying to find out other things to do, so be patient.

I hope you like it.

Edit: Included a screenshot, how it looks like now.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
