PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs (Just incase basic templates bore you.)

Right well I did not like the way the Thumbnails appeared on the Forum Index from PhotoPlog, just made it look like every other site. I also was not happy with the fact that they ONLY showed on the Forum Index.

This is just a nice little change, also my first released plugin of any kind so any virtual bullying will be counter attacked with an onslaught of mouldy oranges.

So here is a little plugin by me, basically just an edit of the original so credit must go to Calorie too. Wonderful thing he/she/it has done with this gallery.

For examples see the screenshots.

By the way this requires that you actually have the PhotoPlog Gallery Installed. (Go Get it!)

Installation Instructions:

1. Upload the Plugin.
2. Add the following code to any Template. For best results add it somewhere such as the Very Bottom of the navbar or soemthign else which is included throughout the site.

   $photoplog_thumbs

3. Your done.

If you would like to edit the appearance or number of thumbnails shown then this next part is for you.

Editing the appearance of the Thumbnails.
Open the PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs Plugin for editing.
Search for this Code:

<img src=\"".$photoplog_location."/file.php?".$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']."n=".$photoplog_fileid."&amp;w=s\" style=\"width: 55px; height: 55px; padding: 1px; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;\" />

Edit anything in the 'style' tag to suit.

To edit the number of Thumbnails Shown.
Open the PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs Plugin for editing.
Search for this Code:

 LIMIT 10

And simply change the number to the number of Thumbnails you would like to appear.


To show on vBadvanced (If you are displaying thumbs in header or navbar etc..)
Admin CP > vBA CMPS > Edit Pages > Home Page > Portal Output Global Variables > add: photoplog_thumbs

Thanks alot for this!
I used this until I bought PhotoPost, then I recoded the PhotoPost inc_features.php way of doing it to match yours, also added opacity mouseover effects.

Thanks again,
Monkey

Nice one.

I'd be interested to see your Modifications.

Shane, I'm trying to add this as a single image in my side column on my forumhome. I changed the Limit to 1 and that part is fine, but it's stretching the entire side column across the forum home. What do I have to change to make sure that it sticks to the size of the side column or make it so that the width is at a specific size?

Drop me an email for support.
This is ages old now so I'll have to take a look at what you mean myself.

I'll send you a note shortly. Here's where I'm trying to put the thumbnail.
