Ok, I added/imported the plug-in, then replaced template code.
Can't see it appearing in the vb options thou.

Is there anything else I need to do?
Apologies I'm a little new to this.

EDIT: Pretty sure Ive followed the instructions to the letter.
If you add the plugin, is there anything else needed to make it appear in vb options?

Ok I've now installed 3.7.0.
Unfortunetly I'm still getting the same problem :-/

Plugin added, template changed, but doesn't appear in the options.

Is there anyway to get this so that it doesnt show image attachments but instead shows zip attachments.

I have a lot of files for my members to download so it would be good to be able to have somewhere that shows all the newest ones.

Great Mod.. Found a couple of bugs..

If you only want to display attachment thumbs in your forums and not forum home, there is no way to do it.. Once you set "Enable Latest Attachments FORUMHOME" to NO, the displays in the forums themselves will always show "There are no attachments in this forum" even if there are... Set it to yes, and they magically appear in each of your forums. Some logic in the plug-in is wrong there.

Another minor bug... "Latest Attachments Thumbnails Link" works exactly the opposite as it's supposed to.. Even the opposite of the description.. If you want thumbnails to link to the post, you have to select NO.

Feature Requests: It would be nice if we had the option for the filename link to the picture and the thumbnail link to the post (at the same time).

It would be REALLY nice if one plug-in grabbed x new pictures from user albums and x new pictures from the attachments and displayed them on the same line.

thanks

Is there anyway we can get it to:

Exclude certain Usergroups (comma separated ID list)

as an option in the VBulletin settings?

[sarum]

or how about a way to exclude certain types of files
i only want the latest pdf's to show, not pictures

[readjono]

Why are they so big

[mindhunter77]

The thumbs will display the same size as you display thumbs in your posts. It would be nice to somehow be able to adjust the size for the thumbnails though. As I for one use a rather large thumbnail for in post attachments so this mod won't work as even displaying one thumbs totally throws of the layout of my template.

Doesn't work, uninstalled.

Is this only for images? This would be sweet if you could only include certain file types. My forum is based around binary files, and I would love to be able to show the last 10 uploaded binary, zip, rar files (and not images). This is an awesome idea
