Works on vB 3.6.8 too (my other forum).

BUT... selecting Yes/No for "Latest Attachments Thumbnails Link" option doesn't do anything. It always displays the full image.

EDIT: IT'S BACKWARDS!

It says "If you would like it to link to the post where the attachment is located, choose yes. If you would like the thumbnails to link to the larger image, choose no."

BUT actually - if you select YES it will NOT show the post - it will show the image. And if you select NO, it will link to the post.



Awesome product though !

The only thing I'd like to see is:

- have the # times viewed counter go up when someone views it in the "latest attachments" display
- have mouse-over work the same, showing filename, times viewed, etc... the same as regular thumbs in posts

Good work!

Great mod!

1 request:

Have it display one attachment from each of the last X threads.

ie: find the last X messages that have attachments, pick one out of each, and display them.

Can a coder help Please?

Here is How You Change the Thumbnail Sizes

$thumbs[dateline] . "\" border=\"0\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\"></a><br />\n";

Add in those alt parameters in both plugins for forum display and forumhome. Via Plugin Manager edit. Of Course change the numbers to your desired sizes.

2nd I also would like it to open the page in the same window instead of opening in a new window, I tried the change suggested in an earlier post but it just resulted in an error and the thumbnails stopped working.

Thank You!

Hi to anyone who can help.

I followed the instructions.

1. imported the xml, went through fine.
2. added the code to forumdisplay, went through fine
3. am able to see the latest x attachments option under vbulletin options.
but nothing is displaying even on forums that have attachments. e.g
http://forums.immigration.com/forumd...=235&styleid=2


thanks to help.

Hi,

I truly need to exclude 1 forum from the ForumHome Listing of latest attachments since that forum is an adult forum and we do not want adult material showing to the kiddies.

Can Anyone Help?

I love this, it's just what I need. Is there a way to make the links open in the same window instead of a new window?

Is there a way to add this to vBadvanced?
