[Marook]

From time to time some thumbnail provider gets problems and their service is down for a few days... i recommend snap.com or artviper.net !

[slackerpunk]

it works but not 100%..

1. i copied all the images to my themes/being used theme/images
2. edited index.template.php

a.

Code Select Expand

www.site.com [url=http://site.com] site.com [/url] [url=http://www.site.com]name[/url] works just fine
b. site with http:// does not show the preview
c. another thing i tried changing the settings ot use the black BG but my still still shows previews using the white bg
d. tried changing between snap.com and other service but based on previews showing up its still using the same service after changing to another like artvpr.com

Check your database (table settings, near last page) for the settings which begins with "sitepreview". If you won't find any, the mod isn't correctly installed. For the issue, where no preview is shown by plain links, see this fix : http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=213254.msg1394136#msg1394136

Same happened to me, I made just a stupid change on a line of code and it started working
search on subs.php:

Code Select Expand

array(
'tag' => 'url',
there're 2 of the url arrays, the first one is for the url tags the other is for the url without url tag.
just change on the first one this:
<a class="preview" href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>
for this:
<a href="$1" class="preview" target="_blank">$1</a>
. Give it a try at least it worked here

I did a manual install and it seems to work just fine with the exception for the storage of the settings under admin.

Used the http://www.smfhacks.com [nofollow] packageparser to help me....

Could you please explain what needs to be added/modified in the database?
I have run through the code and install file a few times now, a bit sleepy but i simply cant seem to find something that adds/install extra fields to the database or where that is modded.
I even tried without the help form http://www.smfhacks.com [nofollow] parser and got the same result, everythihng seems to be going right except the storage of settings in side admin panel like mentioned before....

So if you are able to clearify what needs to be done that would be great

@ Fernside : first you need to replace the bubble-images with larger ones. Then you open Index.template.php and scroll down, you will find a function called sitepreview(). You need to alter the urls by changing the w & h parameter. After that you need to open sitepreviews.js and change also the width/height parameter in line 128/129. Thats it...

In my Index.template.php   there is no line containing  "sitepreview()"
The only line with sitepreview in it is this one:

Code Select Expand

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="', $settings['default_theme_url'], '/sitepreview.js"></script>

Im using the first version of this mod.

Sorry I took a while gettin back to ya. :-)
Cheers Marook.

The settings are stored in {$db_prefix}smf_settings. You can use Phpmyadmin and insert 3 new entries.

Variable	Value
sitepreview_disabled	0
sitepreview_select	Artviper.net
sitepreview_bubble	White

Normally these new entries were added by the forum automaticly, it seems there are some lines missing...

[microbone]

thanks for your reply

Had a look into my db and yes missing the line:

sitepreview_disabled

the other 2 are there....

Another thing i noticed is that the values differ!
You have :
sitepreview_select   Artviper.net [nofollow]
sitepreview_bubble   White

I have:
sitepreview_select   5
sitepreview_bubble   1

[Marook]

ok it could be.. i just looked at the source not in the db... thought i was saving the strings instead of their index number...

[microbone]

ahh ok....

well added the missing line and tried to change settings through the admin section.

They are all now changed in the db but there´s no effect on the site. It still uses websnap and still uses white box even though the values in the db is changing as they should.

So Im guessing this cannot be done with the first version??

[Marook]

@ fernside : right, you need the latest...

you have to call the function sitepreviews() in the index.template.php before the </head> tag...

Awesome mod, easily installed and works perfectly. Thank you.
