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.

I dont think this mod has anything to do with the error I am getting...thanks!

I have A Problem.

I have install this Hack. And replace the ID.

Now i can see the image "no Thumbnail avaliable" but how can i replatze this image with a picture in a thread?

what musst i do?

Diniska,
This plugin will ONLY display a thumbnail for the FIRST post of a thread, and, ONLY an image posted as an attachment, using Manage Attachments, will show as a thumbnail picture. Posts with Image INSERTs and LINKs won't show as thumbnails in the post nor as thumbnails in this plugin. I hope this helps answer your question.

Ok after deleting every mod one by one because I was getting a search error link can be found below
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=189322

I deleted this Mod last and guess what everything worked! Now I reinstalled every mod but this one and my search is still working. What is causing this?

Shmaba,
If you have the 'Thread Thumbnail - Search' plugin turned on then you HAVE to modify search.php, adding the TT code, or New Posts and/or regular searches will bomb with database errors. End of chat here.

See Post # 228 this page which references other posts that no one seems to read that could possibly have the answer to your question hidden away somewhere in them.

    $hook_query_where .= "GROUP BY thread.threadid ";
}

FYI, with this any forum you set in the array line will not use thumbnails

Ok so say I have alot of forums that I want to use but then about 6 I dont want to have appear what coding can you create for that? Thanks!

Go to the Plugin Manager screen (AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Plugin Manager):
For the ‘Thread Thumbnail – Search’ plugin:
Disable (uncheck the Active box)
OR
Delete the ‘Thread Thumbnail – Search’ plugin (REQUIRES REINSTALL IF YOU EVENTUALLY DECIDE TO USE THIS PLUGIN!!)
Then, do a Save Active Status.

Put the forum ids of the forums you don't want in the array.

So for example if you want to exclude forum 3 and 5, it'd look like this

$tt_thumbsforums = array(3,5);
