Thread Thumbnail

The new version is available here.




This plugin was based on Thumbnail of Attachments on forum display by Dechevious(I hope its alright with you)

It is mostly the same converted to the new 3.5 hook. I also fixed the "If the attachment is not an image, a thumbnail will not be shown" problem.

Note: This plugin works in v3.68

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.

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

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.

nnjj.net:

On the first line:

$tt_thumbsforums = array(2);

Change 2 to the forum id. So if you want to enable thumbnails in forums 3, 7, and 12, it would look like:

$tt_thumbsforums = array(3, 7, 12);

A new version of the plugin is available. You can find the new thread here.

All you need to do is replace the content of the first if statement with the second one. ie:

Replace:

<legend>$vbphrase[attached_thumbnails]</legend>
		<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
			$post[thumbnailattachments]
		</div>

With:

<legend>$vbphrase[attached_images]</legend>
		<div style="padding:$stylevar[formspacer]px">
			$post[imageattachments]
		</div>

WHat I meant was I don't want to enable thumbnails globally as it causes ALL image attachments to show as thumbnails.

Ideally, I would like to enable this hack while also maintaining the ability to display the entire full size image in posts.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

man, i could HUG you

er, i WON'T, of course. but this is JUST what i've been searching for

How would one disable thumbnails from showing in search results?

[tspore]

I was wondering - can we update this to work with 3.7?

<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>

A bit different than the original code, but I don't want to screw anything up.
