Thread Thumbnails · **Released**: 05-27-2009

Thread Thumbnails
--------------------------------------
Created By: Null Parameter

This mod is officially tested with 3.8.1, but has been reported to work with many other versions.

Please leave any comments, suggestions or bugs.

Description

This mod allows a user, when creating or editing a thread, to specify a Thumbnail image to be used for display next to the thread in the Thread Listing.

With this mod you can define a set of forums that have thumbnails enabled, then in those forums whenever a user creates or edits their thread they can change their thumbnail, based on the method that you choose to allow.

This image is then shown in the Forum Display, in place of the Thread Icon.
The image also appears in Search & Tag Search, and I can add it to the regular Search if somebody requests it. And possibly have options for displaying in each area.

Forum Display:
Forum.jpg

Search:

ACP Options:

Thumbnails not working on sticky threads and I do have the option enabled and have img file paths/url applied to each thread.

Did manual template edits as well.

Null Parameter · #**127** 10-27-2009, 04:47 PM

Odd, I wasn't getting emails from replies, so now I have a lot to respond to. Sorry for the delay!

The Attachment Option has some known bugs, but I've never seen a database error. If you want to recreate and PM me the error, along with your vBulletin version, that would be great.

I'll take a look into this, but it had been working for me.

The only reason I can think of for this is if you had done the manual edits for v1 and then added in v2. Or possibly, if you have edited your templates, you might have two instances of the string that is being searched for to do the auto-template edits.

Not sure I understand the issue.

EDIT: OK, I tried it again and it won't let me change it.

It shows the original image and then when I edit it again it also shows the original URL. I would so love to get this to work...just not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.

This could be an issue with the Auto-template edits. If you want to PM me your editpost template, I can take a look to see if it should be working.

Just wanted to make a query you could suggest how I might do to the subjects who are already echos and I state x forum as it should do to make me appear.
Since I only put them in the new issues

the option that I would like to use is that of the first image of the item.

Greetings.

Actually, I think I just figured out the issue people are seeing with the First Image Setting.

The issue is that, to save on processing, I only update the thumbnail when a thread is edited or created, therefore if you have a forum full of threads, none of them will have the thumbnail saved. So, if you go back and edit the first post of a thread, the thumbnail should update and work.

Obviously, this is a bad workaround, because if you have 5k threads, you'll have to edit 5k posts to get all of the thumbnails to work, but it should still work while I think of a good way to automatically update threads when a forum is added/removed from the list.

*Option to set thumbnails as a required field when thumbnails are enabled
*Prioritize the three forms of thumbnail fetching (ex: if I am a thumbnail forum and a thumbnail url was not given use the first image)
*Dont show thumbnails on closed threads

Those are the only three I have right now, Ill let you know if any more decent ideas cross my mind.

Thanks for the suggestions. I had the Priority planned before, I think it's listed in rough form on like the first page of this thread, but it adds a lot of complexity and with people wanting updates, I skipped it for the time being. And I'm not exactly sure how I'd make it a required field..... I'll have to look into that one.

Works not for me.
The sticky threads is on but nothing showing and the rest thumbs is showing the "no image avaible" thumb.

The fuction of Thumbnail Source is: First image in post. but no images getting.

Like I said above, I already figured out the issue here.....

Have just installed the mod and much easier to use. However, if I set Thumbnail Source to "First Image In Post" I get the follwoing SQL error
