NEW Latest Album Pictures - Forum Home

It shows the pictures added to the albums on the main page. It shows only the public mentioned files. If not shows the reasons are: vbulletin settings show albums must be enabled.

The user grup that owns the pictures must be enabled show picture setting. Or there is no picture to show.

Additionally you can slect the number of pictures that can be shown.

Hope it works for you as I like it very much.

I don't understand.

I see that there are ways to do it, and I did it, but I would like for it to be more automated as movslow stated. Again... I'll keep my eye on this one!

is there anyway to collapse and hide the random album pictures with a button? or is there some way of letting users disable it if they need to so they can view the forum at work etc? this would really come in handy.

I would like to see the ability to choose what album(s) are being accessed. Example: my forum has a monthly picture contest with different themes and I have a dedicated album to store all the winners. It would be cool to see random pics from this album appear, even in a sidebar block?

Instructions to make your picture larger:

AdminCP > Settings > Message Attachment Options > Thumbnail Size (150 px looks good)

Now goto Update Counters > Rebuild Attachment Thumbnails.

Do not forget if you have already uploaded pictures you must upload them again!!

To change the album title at the bottom for the image description:

Find newalbum_picture template

Look at the last four lines.

<br />
{vb:raw lpicture.title}
<p style="clear: left;"></p>
</td>

and change this line {vb:raw lpicture.title} to {vb:raw lpicture.caption}

Use YBMF's hack along side with this to move the pictures under the navbar.

I have installed this and made the changes to show it underneath the navbar, but I am getting reports from people using IE that they can't see the image, just a red X. As I generally use Firefox I checked using IE8 and yes that is the case. The check box under options for show picture is ticked. Anyone got any ideas on how to resolve this issue please, as it is a bit pointless not being able to see the image.

Thanks, the product does work on 4.0.5 by the way. Just this one issue.

[RobbieZ]

Checked on IE8 all working.

have you tried right clicking and view image on the red 'x' see if the path it follows is true?

[Peter_AUS]

I have resolved this issue, it was the fact that I had jpg in the attachments allowed, and it was looking for actually jpeg as the content string. I put the e in to the jpg one and it worked again.
