be amazing if this showed thumbs of the pics with an icon for other files

[MindTrix]

Yeah i thought the same to be honest. Guess thats something to aim too get done

You can use the attachment id to fetch a thumbnail of file (for images) ... use and if statement to display thumbs (look into functions_showthread to add more functionality to your hack)

however, you will also have to think about permissions...

Thanks for the advice ill get right on it

[MindTrix]

First post updated. Attachments now show up as thumbnails. Hope that is better

Great addon. Is it possible to stretch the thumbnails in a horizontal block so you can put it under or above the navbar as in the photoposthack where the latest images are displayed in a similar way?

wow thanks.

LOL @ the latest pics in the attachment.

Horizontal display:

recent_attachments:

<a href="attachment.php?attachmentid=$recentattachment[attachmentid]" target="_blank">
<img src="attachment.php?attachmentid=$recentattachment[attachmentid]" alt="$recentattachment[filename]" width="62" height="62" border="0"></a> <img src="./spacer.gif" height="0" width="90" border="0">

Under $navbar:

<table class="tcat" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center" valign="top">
<tr><td>
$latestattachments
</td></tr></table>

well..this is not 100% proper code but it looks ok on our forum. Untill it is better coded this is an option. You can upload a transparant spacer gif to the right dir. and force the space between the thumbnails in the desired width. Keep also in mind that altough it is a thumb the images have the full kb load on the forumhome.
