[FREE] Images On Board

[eric1234]

Hello,

I am looking for someone to help create a new Mod for Images On Board.

The original Mod called Images On Board which appeared to have been abandoned by the creator, so I have got no choice but to request for this Mod instead. 

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=246022.0

Hopefully someone will be kind enough to spare some time to create this mod for the SMF community. Thank you very much

since the mod has no license that means no one can just update the mod. they would need to recode it from scratch.

[eric1234]

I see. Thank you for telling me. I will edit the thread.

[Bigguy]

Would this work:

Hello Bigguy,

Thank you so much for your suggestion, but that modification is about changing the icon instead of putting images in Board's description.

The original mod work great in 2.0.10 .
Look in my forum www.thai.gr .
The only you need are this http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=246022.msg3140414#msg3140414

I just want to be clear for my own knowledge (and possibly anyone else interested):

So, since there's no license, it's okay for villasg to do this? Does he need to rename it as his own work or how does this work now?

[Illori]

technically it should not be attached to the mods support topic. he can not make it his own work due to the license. with a closed license it is not an issue to post the changes to the mod in a reply but should not be an attachment.

you can use and customize for your own use but you are not allowed to distribute it

[villasg]

yes this is the correct answer

I have used this and installed it in my forum. 2.0.10 . No errors except the 2nd replace of the /Sources/Subs-Boards.php. So I manually settled it.

But then, the image just do not appeared in the description for unknown reason. SO I have got no choice but to request for a "new" modification to be develop by any kind developers.

its really a quick edit you can do without an mod in BoardIndex.template.php of your theme

Code Select Expand


// If the board or children is new, show an indicator.
if ($board['new'] || $board['children_new'])
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['theme_variant_url'], 'on', $board['new'] ? '' : '2', '.png" alt="', $txt['new_posts'], '" title="', $txt['new_posts'], '" />';
// Is it a redirection board?
elseif ($board['is_redirect'])
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['theme_variant_url'], 'redirect.png" alt="*" title="*" />';
// No new posts at all! The agony!!
else
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['theme_variant_url'], 'off.png" alt="', $txt['old_posts'], '" title="', $txt['old_posts'], '" />';


change to

Code Select Expand


// If the board or children is new, show an indicator.
if ($board['new'] || $board['children_new'])
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['theme_variant_url'], $board['id'] ,'on', $board['new'] ? '' : '2', '.png" alt="', $txt['new_posts'], '" title="', $txt['new_posts'], '" />';
// Is it a redirection board?
elseif ($board['is_redirect'])
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['theme_variant_url'], $board['id'] ,'redirect.png" alt="*" title="*" />';
// No new posts at all! The agony!!
else
echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['theme_variant_url'], $board['id'] ,'off.png" alt="', $txt['old_posts'], '" title="', $txt['old_posts'], '" />';


notice the extra $board[id]

now you can upload your images as follow 1on.png, 1off.png if subboard then 1on2.png the 1 infront indicates board id = 1, you do this for all your boards... just easy and quick

[Illori]

he is not wanting to change the on/off image, he wants an image in the board description without using html in the board description.

[Herman's Mixen]

then he start customize that

[Steve]

he can not make it his own work due to the license

What license? You said there wasn't one.

you can use and customize for your own use but you are not allowed to distribute it

yes this is the correct answer

But isn't attaching it to a post for anyone to grab the same as distributing it? I'm a tad confused now as you might have guessed.

Steve, as has been said, numerous times:

A mod that has no license, gets treated as having the most restrictive license.

So, no license = The worst license to have, in these cases.

yes that is the same, the team is working harder on keeping this from happening in the future. they cannot clean up what has happened in the past too many mods and too many replies to read.

[☠ DeadMan ☠]

Well, for starters, you could clean up the ones people link to, like this one.

http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=246022.msg3140414#msg3140414

That would help, a little, I imagine.

[Steve]

Steve, as has been said, numerous times:

Excuse me for not knowing everything like you do. I didn't really need the superiority attitude. This would have sufficed:

A mod that has no license, gets treated as having the most restrictive license.

So, no license = The worst license to have, in these cases.

@ Illori, thanks again for the clear and informative answers you always give me.

[☠ DeadMan ☠]

Well, sorry for sounding like that, but as can see, even YOU, quoted basically the same thing I said, so it seemed to me, that you did know it.

I just want to be clear for my own knowledge (and possibly anyone else interested):

since the mod has no license that means no one can just update the mod. they would need to recode it from scratch.

Also, my intent, was not to say what I did, only to you, but to everyone reading. Especially those that seem to know this, yet still try to go around it.
