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 got it!

A user "Dismounted" helped me out on this.

Find

<if condition="($tt_displaythumbs) AND ($bbuserinfo['field7'] <> 'Off' OR $show['guest'])">

and repalce with

<if condition="$tt_displaythumbs AND ($bbuserinfo['field7'] != 'Off' OR $show['guest'])">

there is one add-on that enable you to control showing thumbnail to guests, otherwise you can do it by allowing them to see attachments in admincp

How do you resize the image to something smaller? The images come out huge. Where do I edit the settings.

You can add in the required sizes in here i supposed.

	     <img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" border="0" />

Works great on vBulletin Version 3.6.7PL1

Did anyone ever figure out how to display the thumbnails without turning on thumbnailing for the entire forum? I don't want photos attached to posts to be thumbnailed within the post itself.

Thanks!

hmm, doesnt work. this code would only be in the Threadbit IF someone had the radio button option in the userCP allowing users to turn off thumbnail viewing.


What I would like to see in this mod, and I cant imagine why this is so tough (though I am no coder, lol) is to simply allow these thumbnails next to the thread title to display to guests/non-registered. Go to my forum and you'll see how LAME it is without this:

Has anyone helped you yet?
I want to display the LAST poster's avatar instead of a status icon on forumhome, but noone seems to want to help me out here.
I figures this thread was close enough.
