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.

No, I posted a reply stating that I wasn't sure what exactly you wanted me to edit in there.

Please explain.

Thanks!

yup, works exactly as i want it to with that above conditional ;





Images where there are thumbnails and nothing where there is not. Works both on the getnewposts and search results pages.


edit - actually i did change it after i posted earlier so i may have confused the issue.. The above result is achieved with the follow template edit within threadbit ;

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
<td class="alt2" align="center" valign="middle">
<if condition="($tt_displaythumbs) AND ($bbuserinfo['field11'] <> 'Off' OR $show['guest'])">
<if condition="($thread['attachmentid']) AND ($thread['thumbsize'])">
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]">



<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'search'">
<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" width=70 height=45 border="0" />
</a>
<else />

<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" border="0" />
</if>
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'search'">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/nothumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" />
</if>
</if>

<else />


<if condition="$show['threadicon']">
<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" />
</if>
</if>

</td>
</if>

my above change to your code is still wrong, so i'll wait for someone who knows what they are talking about

This is the code i use now. The above screenshot shows the search pages and thumbs still display on the forumdisplay pages. The no thumb images are never shown though, ie if there is no attachment the field will be blank.

<if condition="$show['threadicons']">
<td class="alt2" align="center" valign="middle">
<if condition="($tt_displaythumbs) AND ($bbuserinfo['field11'] <> 'Off' OR $show['guest'])">
<if condition="($thread['attachmentid']) AND ($thread['thumbsize'])">
<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]">



<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'search'">
<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" width=70 height=45 border="0" />
</a>
<else />

<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$thread[attachmentid]&stc=1&thumb=1" alt="" border="0" />
</if>
</if>

<else />


<if condition="$show['threadicon']">
<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" />
</if>
</if>

</td>
</if>

Thx 4 this realea ! installed !

[dontcry]

Great mod!

I would suggest 2 things:

1. When click on the thumb, the full-size image will be ajaxed-appeared. (HighSlide)

2. Changes the threads display of the specified forum from horizontal to vertical.

Thanks alots for this wonderful mod!

Does this work on 3.6.7PL1? As soon as I installed it, I got an invalid SQL when searching for "new posts."

I quickly deleted it to resolve the issue.

Can we have the option to specify our own thumbnail for non-attachments like embeded videos?

[rolfw1]

Love the mod as stated earlier, is it possible to add thumbnails to the search function when opting to show posts?

[The Fat Boy]

cant get this to work for anything... doesnt display anything. edited the threadbit... no luck

ok... working to some degree, except it will not show a thumbnail for anything, it always shows the no thumbnail image

Did anyone get this working on 3.6.7PL1 or is this just a local problem with my database?
