Add-On Releases - vBulletin Link-Fetch, similar to facebook

What does this addon do?

It shows thumbnails and informations to links, which got entered in the posts, just like attachments at the end of a post, similar to facebook.

This addon is early beta, so please give me some feedback

Installation:

Copy all files and directories of '/upload' into your forumroot, afterwards import the product file 'product-vblinkfetch.xml' in AdminCP.

If you don't use TMS, you need to change a template manually:

Name of tempate: postbit_legacy

Search for:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['attachments']"> 


Above this insert:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['linkfetch']">
    <div class="attachments">
        <fieldset class="postcontent">
            <legend><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_misc}/paperclip.png" class="inlineimg" alt="{vb:rawphrase vblinkfetch_attached_links}" /> {vb:rawphrase vblinkfetch_attached_links}</legend>
            {vb:raw post.linkfetch}
        </fieldset>
    </div>
</vb:if> 


Of coz you can put this below the attachment fields or any other place you like in that template.

Now you can configure the addon under:

'Settings' -> 'Otions' -> 'vBulletin-Linkfetch'

That's it

Vossi, thumbshots.org killed the images today. Worked fine yesterday but not today.

I once used Shrinktheweb.com for thumbs in the profile. Can you look into their free service and try and integrate it into the mod.

Heres a link. http://www.shrinktheweb.com/content/...nail-code.html

Also can you include the option for more user defined inputs. Right now it seems to only support IMG SRC but allot of thumbnail providers use JS or PHP.

Thanks again....

So Scalemotorcars do you have this mod working on your site? I think this would be of great use but from what I am reading it sounds like it is not working very well.

[Scalemotorcars]

Sorry to say I uninstalled. All the thumbers would stop working within a day. I think it has more to do with the thumbers maxing out requests.

Hi,

Just want to know what thumbnail service this uses?

[Vossi]

You can choose between several like thumbshots.de, mr. thumb, thumber, artviper, thumbshots.org or even use a user defined service.
