About the stretched images: This is something to be completly recoded, i fear. It will mean that images which are larger than the width of the forum have to be "downsized" for the displayed image. This is the only way to prevent, that smaller images will be stretched.

- The hack itself should be compatible. As soon, as i have a bit more freetime, i'll do a solution for it.

@Yavyb: Feel free! I think, a solution would be, to display the last attached image of the first post.

Herald thanks again ..

As for the image sizing .. im saying when you enter the thread that the images were uploaded in .. the images arent their original size; they are instead stretched ... is this something that _I_ must correct?

As far as the other file types.. yes; nothing is showing up in the thread.. and nothing is able to be downloaded.

@LBSource:

- stretched images: No, this is something, i've done... But you can avoid it. Just remove the width-tag in the <IMG SRC.... in the template "gallery_attachment".

Only theoretical. I hope i can add it to the hack over the Christmas-Days, as i'm having not so much free time at the moment.

Hmm, like I said before this hack is perfect because of this reason:
Users don't have to upload photos to a gallery after they've already uploaded as
attachments. But since the hack currently will only allow 1 photo, if more than 1
photo is uploaded, the random gallery thumbnails show all images uploaded, but they
share the caption, description, etc. When the user uploads more than 1 image
attachment, it also squishes all of the images together into 1 big vertical image.

Harald you are suggesting perhaps to just have the last image the one included. I feel
this still would only show some images and not all of the images. There must be some
way so that the script will recognize if more than 1 image is uploaded so that it will
put each image attached into it's own table where the user adds the name, comment,
etc.

Also this seems to add photos to the gallery from this point on. I wish that there was
a way for all previous attached images to get added on, but this can be held off until
later.

I wish that I could help you more Herald with this hack. I am in desperate need of a
photo hack, my photopost members area access expired last month so I can't
download the recent version, and in my opinion your hack is better since as I said I
won't have users showcasing their photos in the gallery and forums. If you want to
put it in the gallery, put it in a message.

We just need to work on a way to be able to add all of the photo attachments to the
gallery, atleast, I think that should be our goal.
Have a great holiday.

@Yavyb: It really isn't easy. There is one big problem on this:

As i used the attachment-system of vb, the normal post, that belongs to the attachment is of course used also.

So, if we want every attachment to have a single comment, rating, and so on, it would mean, that the whole hack has to be rebuild. At the moment, i don't have the time for such a project, that is the problem.

Something like attached

Scott, was it something like shown in the attachment, what you wanted?

Ok Herald I see your point. I would've rather have given you $150 for the
hack instead of photopost people since they get more business, and plus
your script would save disk space. I'll just wait to be able to buy vbgallery
and maybe in the future you'll have done something to accept more than 1
photo. Thanks for your hack anyhow though. You did a great job.
