Files List v3.01

Hey,

VERSION 3.01
[25/05/2004]

-----------------------------------------------

This Hack is released under an EverythingvB.com FullAttribution-LimitedDerivs-LimitedTranslation License
-----------------------------------------------

This new hack gives you the function of grouping all your attachments in one single list, divided into pages and with the option of viewing files by category, eg Video Clips, Archives and Excecutables etc.

All installation instructions are provided in the install file, and modification details are in the php file included in the zip. All images used for some files are also attached.

Any problems, queries or errors, please report here or PM me so I can sort them out as soon as possible, to ensure this hack is to your standards.

Current key functions:

• Lists all attachments and spans over pages. You can specifiy the amount of attachments per page.
• Specify usergroups who you do not wish to view the attachments.
• Set out the same as attachments in posts, with icon, size and views.
• Categories, so you can quickly view one type of file.
• Display username.
• Sort by username or filename.
• If enabled, images category shows thumbnails.
• Table row colours altered to make it easier to read username.
• Shows forum name and a link to the parent thread.
• Ability to sort by forum name.
• Set the amount of files to view per page.

An example of the hack can be found here:
http://www.collegepranks.co.uk/forums/fileslist.php

Note to current users about upgrading:

• Replace your fileslist.php file with the new one.
• Replace the attachment_view and attachment_view_bits with the ones in the install file.

If you read the literature, you will notice the thumbnails are shown in the IMAGES category only. And the thumbnails are only shown if you have them activated in the admin control panel.

If you look at my fileslist which is EXACTLY the same as it is on here, apart from the skin:
http://www.collegepranks.co.uk/forum...ortby=filename

Notice the thumbnails are there. You must have image attachment thumbnails turned ON in the Admin Panel or else it will just show the filename.

Then you forgot something because I have thumbnails turned on and I do not get anything but the file listing for them, too.

I have thumbnails turned on, and I thought it might be as you said (about them only being active if you look @ images only) - but last time I looked @ your site, it showed ALT text for your images only - not thumbnails - and mine (see the link) shows the default icon for images ...

I'm not trying to get stuck in mate - I'm just looking forward to a replacement for the old one for vB2 - I'm very appreciative of your efforts on this hack ok?

@Dan

The same with me. Have tried several other settings, but no thumsb.

BTW: On your site I see only the placeholders and no pics

[DWard]

OK, ill look into it, it works fine on mine, I've attached a screenshot.

[DWard]

Ah now I see why, you must be logged in to view the pictures (understandable). I will fix and tidy it up for tomorrow evening if thats ok?

Still dont think you will be able to view the thumbs if you are not logged in, not unless you have allowed guests to view attachments.

[DWard]

If your images are displayed as thumbnails when you attach them, there is no problem.

I have thumbnails on, and my GD version is 2+

Same thing on my site. But I don't see any thumbnail code at all in the fileslist.php file that I have. How are you calling it?
