Forum Display Enhancements - Thread Thumbnail

This plugin is the newest version of the Thread Thumbnail plugin

This plugin will display the first attachment as a thumbnail on forumdisplay.php

New Features:

• If there are attachments that are not images, it will skip them and go to the first image attachment.
• Optional - you can now display thumbnails on search results.

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.

The plugin comes with the Search Thumbnails enabled. If you do not want to have thumbnails show up in the search results, make sure you deactivate it.

If you would like thumbnails to display in the search results, you will need to replace your search.php page with the one in the zip file. Unfortunately vBulletin forgot to include a hook variable where it is necessary for this to work. I have added 1 line to search.php with the hook variable. There is no way around this until vbulletin adds it themselves.

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 (Optional)

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 am installing this into a 3.8.2 forum.

I added the plugin, and set the forum id. I do not see any thumbnails in the forum.

I also start gettign database errors when I add this plugin:

hi theOZer

thank you for supporting this mod, was using this mod for sometime only on the forumdisplay

i am now ready to integrate into search, so i tried doing it last night by activating the plugin for search and then applying your codes in post #112 to my search.php for 3.7.2

But no thumbnails shows in search, it looks like default.
is there some further template mods i should be doing?

as you can see here, my forumdisplay tt's are working perfectly:

Anyone had any issues with this when using vBSEO ?

[smsoom]

Copy and paste the postbit_attachmentimage template contents into the postbit_attachmentthumbnail template (overwrite the current postbit_attachmentthumbnail contents). And leave thumbnail creation on.

I do this and it works fin to show fullsize of attachmentimage in posts with thumbnail creation switched to on.
but
when I do this to insert attachmentimage in the post, I get the thumbnail image??



can somebody help me what to do?

thank you jasonmerchant for this plugin.

[somailhm]

Hi I just LOVE this Mod, Thank You So Very Much you saved me a ton of work and made my movie web site look like it should. WooHoo! Only 1 problem I am having is that its showing the full size of the poster instead of a thumbnail,, did I miss something somewhere?

What do you mean TT code may differ? I made all the changes but alas all I see is the no post icon , I am sure I missed something. Any Help?

Good Thing is that the Forum Search and The Forums Still show the thumbnails albeit all of them are the full size, wish I could change that.

Work excellent on 3.8.1 with vbSEO.

Thanks.
