Attachment Browser

This plugin adds an attachment browser to selected forums. The attachment browsers shows all the thumbnails of attached images in all posts in the current from.

Installation
Install the product xml and edit the FORUMDISPLAY template. Add the following code whereever you like:

<if condition="$show['attachments']">
$attachmentbrowser
</if>

I put it above the thread list.

In order to enable the thumbnail browser for a forum you will have to set "Show attachment browser" to yes in the forum manager (AdminCP).

System changes
This plugin adds two templates:

attbrs_attachment : the main block of the attachment browser
attbrs_attachment_bit : the thumbnail part for each attachment

and two phrases:

ab_image_larger_version_x_y_z : a copy of 'image_larger_version_x_y_z', the original was not available in the scope it was needed
ab_title : the title used in the browser

It also modifies the forum table, it will add a new field called 'gallery'. The field is created during installation and removed on uninstall.

This plugin has one setting in it's own category which controls the maximum number of thumbnails to show per page.

Change log
Changes since v1.0.1:

• Fixed table prefix
• Added new option 'enable pager'. Width this you can disable the pager which can be a performance hit on large forums.
• Added new option 'Browser width'. Which will set the fallback browser width to use for MSIE. MSIE doesn't properly size the scrollable area in the default template, this is a dirty workaround.

Changes since v1.1.0:

• Templates are now grouped
• Installer is a bit more safe (e.g. no serious error when the table already has a `gallery` field)
• Attachment browser is now collapsable
• Thread title can be trimmed to a certain length

Changes since v1.2.0:

• Browser is not shown when the user has to permissions to view attachments

ok.. I changed this

$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum ADD gallery SMALLINT(6) DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL");

and reinstalled the xml, still says no..

Did I change the wrong thing or what do I need to do?

you need to uninstall and then reinstall, during upgrading the uninstall code isn't executed.

or you could simple execute a db query setting all values of gallery to 1, e.g.

update forum set gallery = 1;

Thank you, I did the db query and it took less than the blink of an eye to do all 178 ..

That was so helpful.. BTW.. my members love your work, I appreciate it.

I can't get it to show on my forum. I had Gallery installed but I saw the conflick, now I deleted Gallery and still doesn't show. Help!!

I have a question, it works perfectly except 1 thing..

If your not a registered user, it shows everything except where the pics are its just the blank image place holder. Any way to make a default gif to put there or just not show it at all if not registered?

It looks terriable to non-members..

[El_Muerte]

uhm.. do you have a restriction on viewing images on your forum?

Couple of quick questions:

Is there a way to get it to span the same width as the forum tables? The fixed width looks a little off at higher resolutions.

Also, a non-fixed height would be awesome. The horizontal scrollbar is great, but the vertical just looks ugly.

Great mod otherwise, thank you!

of course I do, only members can see images...

I dont want non-members to be able to view images.

So is there a way to make it load a non-member gif that I can make or just not show up at all to non members? I would prefer the image of my choice in its place, maybe an if statement or something?

[cbr929rrerion]

anyone know how to add an if statement to have it show a predetermind image to non-members?

Only MSIE has a fixed width, the reason for this is because MSIE is broken and doesn't properly size the table cell. So unless you can find a way to make MSIE behave properly it can't be fixed.

PHP Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0">
// ...
</if>
