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 fixed the above error - well sort of by going to plugin manager and disabling he 2 search boxes for it.Aint found no more errors at moment and the hack is working in the forum i selected.
Does anyone have a fix so i can have pics showing on search as well ?

[Principe10]

On my 3.6.8 show just the image "nothumb.jpg" no way to show any other image.
What's wrong? I've installed the xml plugin, modified the template, add the id number of tread and disabilited the "Thread Thumbnail - Search" because I don't like.

Any could help me please???

Wondering if this mod works with any other free hosting image such as imageshack?

[PlymWS]

Err, no. It parses the attachments in each thread and produces uses the first attachments thumbnail as the thread thumbnail.

[PlymWS]

What's the line you've added to search.php ? I have already modified my search.php so I would need to modify the file for this hack myself.

any pics i upload i like to show inside the post but if i do then the thumbnail does not show unless i switch create thumbnail back on = then if i do that then pics are shown in threads/posts as small images which need to be clicked on to get full view.

Is there anyway i can have the thumbnail on forumdisplay while still viewing the full pic inside thread/posts without having to click on the image in the post.
