Forum Display Enhancements - Thread Thumbnail

This plugin is the newest version of the Thread Thumbnail plugin

This plugin will display the first attachment as a thumbnail on forumdisplay.php

New Features:

• If there are attachments that are not images, it will skip them and go to the first image attachment.
• Optional - you can now display thumbnails on search results.

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.

The plugin comes with the Search Thumbnails enabled. If you do not want to have thumbnails show up in the search results, make sure you deactivate it.

If you would like thumbnails to display in the search results, you will need to replace your search.php page with the one in the zip file. Unfortunately vBulletin forgot to include a hook variable where it is necessary for this to work. I have added 1 line to search.php with the hook variable. There is no way around this until vbulletin adds it themselves.

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 (Optional)

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.

It work on 3.7.0 RC4

If that's a question the answer is, "Yes."
Install the plugins, update the threadbit template as mentioned in JasonMerchant's Installation instructions.
Add the forums you want thumbnailed in the Thread Thumbnail plugin.
AND, you must update the vB370RC4 Search.php file, adding JasonMarchant's code. (I know. I know. But that's the only way I got it to work in vB370RCwhatever.)
See post #112, previous page.

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=190937" target="_blank">theOZer</a>, thank you, but wasn't a question. Yes it work on vb 3.7.0 RC4

[theOZer]

I've got to ask, Kanustep, did you turn OFF the Thread Thumbnail - Search plugin or did you add JM's code to search.php? Without JM's search.php code and with the Thread Thumbnail - Search plugin turned ON I got db errors when I tried a navbar New Posts search.
Just curious, here. ~OZ

Hello theOZer,

Right now I have it turned off, but when I have it ON it was working fine. Is this the code you inserted into the search.php?

PHP Code:

//edited by jason
        $dataQuery .= " " . $hook_query_where; 


This is the only thing you need to add to your search.php. Look for:

PHP Code:

// do data query
    if (!empty($itemids))
    {
        $ids = implode(', ', array_keys($itemids));
        $dataQuery .= '(' . $ids . ')'; 


Immediately BELOW add this:

PHP Code:

//edited by jason
        $dataQuery .= " " . $hook_query_where; 


It should work.

Guys, does anyone know where to put this extra line of code in TAGS.php so that the thumbnails come up also when doing a tag search?

[Nikoo]

Do you know if this will work whit 3.7 ? or do we have to wait for a update?

[theOZer]

Hey, Nikoo, since post #100 or so this entire discussion has been how to make this work with 37x. As stands, the Thread Thumbnail plugin works in 37x. The Thread Thumbnail - Search plugin works if you tweak search.php, adding TT's code. AND, if you have the Thread Thumbnail - Search plugin turned ON but you did NOT tweak search.php you WILL get database errors when you/anyone does a search. So, Watch Out!
