has anyone got anywhere making a "Create Thread" plugin, when a user adds a video ?

[iBetc]

I have installed this but for some reason the thumbnail does not show up for the videos. Could you tell me how to fix this please?

This is a great addition to my forum, thank you.

Did you CHMOD777 the videothumbnails directory? If not, try that.

Good luck! :up:

After installing this my signatures dissapeared.

Nobody can view anyone's sig. Please help.

Lol, in the process of CHMOD'ing this I came to realize I never uploaded the damn folder. No wonder.

So I uploaded it, and I changed the CHMOD, and it's working great. Thanks.

Better still, is it possible to get rid of categories?

Agreed.

It was a confusing to me at first, and it's my foum hah.

how do i CHMOD to get thumb nails???
simple terms, as im not good with computers thanks
im all installed, but no thumbnails

[ArnyVee]

jaderollie, basically you can go to your FTP program (I use Filezilla) and right click on the directory (which is the folder) named 'videothumbnails' .... then, click on "File Permissions". That will take you to another window that pops up and you have to make sure that all of the selections are checked to make it show a "777" permission. Hope that helps! :up:

[jaderollie]

thanks, and what happens if theres no ftp, or anything??
i say that, as i never do installs, so if there was no ftp, how i do it another way please
