Add-On Releases - Module CMPS:Recent Attachments

Module CMPS Recent Attachments

Idea was based on original hack by MindTrix

A request from a member for showing document such as text and zip files prompted me to add an additional zip file to this hack. Please be sure you download the correct file. The CMPS_recent_attachment_images.zip is for showing pictures only. The CMPS_newattachments_files.zip will display both but will only output the extension image with the file name and info (see Screenshot below).

What it does:

It will query attachments from the database for the latest 4 images or files posted, and output it to the module created on your home page. I believe I have seen this requested both here and at vBadvanced.
Will add 1 query to the home page.

Files and Templates added:

CMPS_recent_attachment_images.zip
recentattachment.php
adv_portal_newattachments

CMPS_newattachments_files.zip
newattachment.php
adv_portal_recentattachments

Tested on vb3.6.4

Installation:

1. Extract the module file from the zip to your desktop.

2. Go to your admincp->vBa CMPS->Download/Upload Module.

3. Browse to where you put the module file click submit.

4. Make sure you set all options and permisions for the module.

5. Be sure that you enable the module in your default home page or it will not show.


Change log:

version 1.00 - First release. Added additional module for files and docs.
version 1.01 - Added ability to view the members post of the image or file attachment in a new window from CMPS module.
Added update for CMPS 3.0 module
Please be sure to click installed if you want support

I never had that problem but I will look into it. Right now there is no function in the mod do block any other forum.

How can I get the block to display 5 or 6 images in a row rather then in a side column? Great hack buy the way. Already installed and works perfectly with 3.6.5 Thanks

I have attached a zip for using the module in center column you will have to remove the other first then install this one.

Thanks. Works great but is it just me or does this put a large load on the server. All the pages its on are slow to load.

Thanks,

Installed and working well. See how it goes.

Ive got it so it displays one image, which I call "Latest Forum Image"

and its in a right hand block (viewable to members only, guests see the calender)

thanks

edit: forgot to mention I increased the size of the image from 65px to 120px...looks great

How do I add extra rows to the block. I'm thinking of an attachments page with one center block and 30 or 40 attachments in something like 6 or 7 rows with columns. I know how to edit the php file to get more images but they simply display to one row. Any help would be great and thanks again.

By the way Im using the recentimagescenter file.

edit the template adv_portal_recentattachments to how you want it displayed
