Thumbnail of Attachments on forum display · **Released**: 12-21-2004

This hack has been requested a number of times, for multiple versions of vBulletin. For whatever reason, it was never done (at least publicly) until now. Heres to wishing each and everyone of you a Merry Christmas, and a prosperous, healthy, and safe, New Year!

What it does: This hack will display a thumbnail of the threads attachment on the forum display. Quite useful if you have forums designated for graphics/photos .. etc. Could also be tweaked to display the posters avatar instead of an attachment. Variable possibilities. (Screenshot attached for further review) and or see it in action at this forum in realtime. If the thread has multiple attachments, it will display the first. If no attachment, a 'no attachment' thumb will appear. Can be assigned for use in any forum you wish it to be active in.

Install time is minimal - Less than 5 minutes for the average joe. (Simplicity at it's Finest)
1 file to modify, and 1 template to modify, along with the upload of an image.

Known Issues: If the attachment is not an image, a thumbnail will not be shown. (IE: .zip or .rar)

If you install it, please click the 'Install' icon - Updates will be sent to those who do.

YES, please!

This hack would be perfect for some of my forums, but I have no idea which variation to install and which fixes to add :disappointed:

If anybody would be interested, I can provide an update.

Delphy, did you ever release the recoded part of this hack with the admincp additions?

Delphy, friggin' awesome...your updated txt works perfectly for me.

This mod is PERFECT for my board! I actually like the fact that guests get previews of the thumbs but aren't able to view the full version. It'll probably increase registration even more ( it's an adult entertainment forum )

Question for you though, I'd really like to alter the code so clicking on the thumbnail opens the thread and not the full picture...I tried the code someone posted here to do it and the code didn't work.

Can anyone help me out with this? It's most likely only 1 line of code.

Thanks in advance!

Updated 29th December at 5pm GMT to fix table prefixes and add a line I'd missed out from my original. Should work now

Regards,
Delphy

so delphy, do you have a zip file for this program? Would be nice if you could put everything together in a zip file so we could upload your file and give it a shot...

thanks, hotwheels
