PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs (Just incase basic templates bore you.)

Right well I did not like the way the Thumbnails appeared on the Forum Index from PhotoPlog, just made it look like every other site. I also was not happy with the fact that they ONLY showed on the Forum Index.

This is just a nice little change, also my first released plugin of any kind so any virtual bullying will be counter attacked with an onslaught of mouldy oranges.

So here is a little plugin by me, basically just an edit of the original so credit must go to Calorie too. Wonderful thing he/she/it has done with this gallery.

For examples see the screenshots.

By the way this requires that you actually have the PhotoPlog Gallery Installed. (Go Get it!)

Installation Instructions:

1. Upload the Plugin.
2. Add the following code to any Template. For best results add it somewhere such as the Very Bottom of the navbar or soemthign else which is included throughout the site.

   $photoplog_thumbs

3. Your done.

If you would like to edit the appearance or number of thumbnails shown then this next part is for you.

Editing the appearance of the Thumbnails.
Open the PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs Plugin for editing.
Search for this Code:

<img src=\"".$photoplog_location."/file.php?".$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']."n=".$photoplog_fileid."&amp;w=s\" style=\"width: 55px; height: 55px; padding: 1px; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;\" />

Edit anything in the 'style' tag to suit.

To edit the number of Thumbnails Shown.
Open the PhotoPlog 1337 Thumbs Plugin for editing.
Search for this Code:

 LIMIT 10

And simply change the number to the number of Thumbnails you would like to appear.


To show on vBadvanced (If you are displaying thumbs in header or navbar etc..)
Admin CP > vBA CMPS > Edit Pages > Home Page > Portal Output Global Variables > add: photoplog_thumbs

Updates:
To install updates simply upload the new plugin over your old one and redo file edits.

See how some of the thumbnails are vertical, and some are horizontal? If they dont adjust to the actual shape of the image, then some of the images look stretched!

Any way you can take a look at this?

Look in the plugin for this

"$photoplog_linkto\"><img src=\"$photoplog_url\" style=\"width: 30px; height: 30px; padding: 1px; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;\" alt=\"\" /></a>

and change it to

"$photoplog_linkto\"><img src=\"$photoplog_url\" style=\"padding: 1px; margin: 0px; border: 1px solid #CCCCCC;\" alt=\"\" /></a>

that will make the pictures keep the aspect ratio

i couldnt see it either, then i RE-READ the directions, and moved the $photoplog_thumbs to the BOTTOM of the NAVBAR template. I only added a < /br> above it for a little space and left it alone so far.

Last time!....put the $photoplog_thumbs at the VERY BOTTOM of the NAVBAR template.

Perfect

Is it possible to force users to insert a title and a description when they upload a picture.

That would be very nice!
