hello i have installed this modification. but facing a small problem.. with my article i have a attachment but it is not showing as a thumbnail in the main article page..

my article page is http://www.shopnoranga.com/forum/articles.php

my recent article at the forum is http://www.shopnoranga.com/forum/sho...d.php?p=119691

waiting for the feedback..

All it needs is an nice little ajax routine that uploads images to a defined folder, then creates a token that can be inserted through the article to embed the image.

It's because the image extension is .jpeg

Find in articles.php

PHP Code:

ON (attachment.postid = thread.firstpostid AND attachment.extension IN('jpg', 'gif', 


Change to

PHP Code:

ON (attachment.postid = thread.firstpostid AND attachment.extension IN('jpg', 'jpeg', 'gif',

I have done a little playing around with the layout as I have never been a big fan of fieldsets, you don't get enough control over how they appear in different browsers.

So I did mine like this with a little mucking about with the code.

Apologies for breaking vb.org's table layout with this image:

looks nice.

The search articles is nice addition as well

Thanks.

The search box is really easy....I simply looked in the forumdisplay template, took the search box dropdown code from there, and pasted it in.

The only problem I am having with that is that I have had to hard code the forumid in as I can't find any variable that carries it.

Use the condition:

<if condition="$c">$c<else />$vboptions[af_forumids]</if>

[farzana]

another request can you please do something like this that the picture will look same size in the main article page.. i am talking about the attachments... like the users may upload pictures with different size but at the end they will look same size.. so it will look clean..

thanks in advance..
