Thread Thumbnail

The new version is available here.




This plugin was based on Thumbnail of Attachments on forum display by Dechevious(I hope its alright with you)

It is mostly the same converted to the new 3.5 hook. I also fixed the "If the attachment is not an image, a thumbnail will not be shown" problem.

Note: This plugin works in v3.68

Installation:

In your AdminCP, go to Plugin System, Download/Upload Plugins and import the xml document.

Be sure to change the forum ids in the $thumbsforums array to the forum ids you want to enable thumbnails in.

Next you will need to modify your threadbit template:

Find:

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
	<td class="alt2">
		<if condition="$show['threadicon']">
			<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" />
		<else />
			&nbsp;
		</if>
	</td>
</if>

Replace With:

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
	<td class="alt2" align="center" valign="middle">
			<if condition="$tt_displaythumbs">
				<if condition="($thread['attachmentid']) AND ($thread['thumbsize'])">
			     	<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]">
			          	<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" border="0" />
			        </a>
			     <else />
			        <img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nothumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" />
			     </if>
			<else />
				<if condition="$show['threadicon']">
			     <img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" />
				 </if>
			</if>
	</td>
</if>

You will also need to upload an image to display if there are no image attachments here: $stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nothumb.jpg(ex: http://www.mysite.com/forums/images/misc/nothumb.jpg). I've made a simple one you can use or you can make your own. By default thumbnails are confined in a 100x100 px area, I found that it looks good to make the "no image" image about 100x83 px.

Add-ons

UserCP option to turn the thumbnails on/off on a per user basis

Go into your admincp and click User Profile Fields->Add New User Profile Field.

Select "single selection radio buttons", click continue.

For title put "Thread Thumbnails", for description put "This will allow you to turn the thumbnails of threads on and off."

For options, enter "On" and "Off".

Skip down to Display Page and choose "Options: Thread Viewing".

In your threadbit template(assuming you already applied the template changes above):

Find:

<if condition="$tt_displaythumbs">

Replace with:

<if condition="($tt_displaythumbs) AND ($bbuserinfo['field5'] <> 'Off' OR $show['guest'])">

You need to replace field5 with the field name of the profile field you created earlier.

I've tried exactly this mod but it doesn't work for me :-(
the only I change is on and off button (I put si no) cause it's an italian forum and obviously I change also this line in this way:

<if condition="($tt_displaythumbs) AND ($bbuserinfo['field5'] <> 'no' OR $show['guest'])">

What can it be the problem? Other particular things if the language is different?

I can't see the preview outside any post
In the user profile is all ok and I've also uploaded the nothumb.jpg image

HELP!!!! :-(

[Demo16]

no one can help me?

Can I use this mod with vB 3.6.x?

[konabiker47]

How do you make the thumbnail show up? I have everything installed.....

[GNDI]

enable thumbnails in your admincp

[ThomasR]

Then, does it works under 3.6? without this mod, I can't switch to 3.6...

[ThomasR]

Just installed a test forum, this plugin is working with vb 3.6.1!

[jyajay]

Okay I installed it on 3.6.1 and it is working.

My question is, can I use the normal posticons on threads where no thumb was uploaded instead of this "no thumb" picture?

[GNDI]

then you'll make something like this

PHP Code:

<if>
<if condition="($tt_displaythumbs) AND ($bbuserinfo['field5'] <> 'Off' OR $show['guest'])">

<else />

<if condition="$tt_displaythumbs">

</if> 


PS. haven't tested it but could give you an idear about howto

[jyajay]

Your tip is not exactly doing what I had in mind but you gave me the idea to do what I planned. I just replaced the

PHP Code:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nothumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /> 


..with

PHP Code:

<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /> 


Now want to add a function that allows users to deactivate the display of the thumbnail and show the regular posticon instead.

I am not sure how big this change has to be for this to work.
