Topic: Thumbnail on Topic Listing

[JulesW]

I just tried opening the parse instructions for RC1.2 and they said it wasnt compatible and wont show the instructions for manual install.

Not sure what to do now.

MessageIndex.template.php
Find:

Code: [Select]

<th width="9%" colspan="2" class="catbg3 headerpadding">&nbsp;</th>
Replace:

Code: [Select]

<th width="9%" colspan="', $context['show_thumbnails'] ? 3 : 2, '" class="catbg3 headerpadding"></th>
Find:

Code: [Select]

echo '

<tr>

<td class="windowbg2 icon1">

<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/topic/', $topic['class'], '.gif" alt="" />

</td>

<td class="windowbg2 icon2">

<img src="', $topic['first_post']['icon_url'], '" alt="" />

</td>Replace:

Code: [Select]

echo '

<tr>

<td class="windowbg2 icon1">

<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/topic/', $topic['class'], '.gif" alt="" />

</td>

<td class="windowbg2 icon2">

<img src="', $topic['first_post']['icon_url'], '" alt="" />

</td>';

// Thumbnail Topic Mod

if ($context['show_thumbnails'])

{

echo '<td class="windowbg2" valign="middle" align="center">';



$imagefound = false;



foreach ($topic['image'] as $image)

{

if ($imagefound == true)

break;



if (isset($image['id']))

{



echo '<a href="', $topic['first_post']['href'], '"><img src="', $image['url'], '" width="', $image['width'], '" height="', $image['height'], '" alt="" /></a>';

$imagefound = true;

}

}



echo '</td>';

}



// End Thumbnail Topic Mod

Ok, I found this info under MessageIndex.php
and this is all I found...

   // Grab the appropriate topic information...
   if (!$pre_query || !empty($topic_ids))
   
   // Thumbnail Topic Mod
   if (isset($modSettings['photo_boards']))
      $modSettings['photo_boards'] = explode(',', $modSettings['photo_boards']);
   else
      $modSettings['photo_boards'] = array($board);
   
   // Used to decide if we thumbnails are shown on this topic listing page
   $context['show_thumbnails'] = false;
   
   // End Thumbnail Topic Mod


   {
      // For search engine effectiveness we'll link guests differently.

I cant seem to find a MessageIndex.Templete.php

I cant seem to find a MessageIndex.Templete.php

Its in the theme folder.(themes/themename) Could be that your theme doesn't have its own file, but then the default file would be used, and that one should be edited when you installed the mod through. What theme are you using?

Im using BacknBlack by Crip

Update:  I just checked my default template and the thumbnail is not working in that either.  So Im going to look and see if I can find the info in the messageindex.template.php

[JulesW]

I saw that your theme does not have its own messageindex.template file, so the edits should be present in the default template file.

The mods shows the first attachment to a post, so that should be an image file. It does not show the first image in the post (just making sure you have a image file attached)

I did not have to switch it on (I'm using 1.1.10, not sure that makes a difference)

Oh, I think I put just an image and not an image attachment.  Now I feel really stupid 

Now I have to figure out how to attach an image.

[JulesW]

It should be under "aditional options" when you reply to a post (not quick reply)

In admin panel you have to check if you allow users to post attachments. Its in the Attachments and avatar section of the admin panel

Got it!     Though I do feel like a moron.  Yes, I missed somewhere that it has to be an attachement.  Plus I had disabled attachments, so that didnt help in the least.

Thank you sooo much for the help.  Sometimes its just so simple yet we cant see it 

[JulesW]

Glad I could help! Glad you got it sorted!

Updated for SMF 2.0 RC2!

[javierjp]

Hi, i have a problem with this mod, I attached a large image to a topic, in listing the image is large too, not a thumb, any idea?

edit: The image is large only when i have "Resize images when showing under posts" OFF in admin panel.
However if i turn on these option, the listing show a thumb but inside the topic it show a clickeable thumb too!

Exist any way to show a large image inside the topic? not a "click to enlarge" thumb?

Somebody have this problem too?

excuse my english.
grettings and thanks in advance.
Javier

[Tanks]

Works just fine on my SMF 2.0 RC2.

I was wondering if there was any way to have this work for show posts since last visit ?

(/index.php?action=unread)

Cheers,

Tanks

Upload the pic to photobucket (or any other picturehosting website and put the link between [img] tags in the post or am I thinking too simple now?

[javierjp]

Hi, thanks for reply,
Not sense to me, the propose of this mod its just to show a thumb of a attached image in listing.
My english language its  not good, so i will try to explain with images:


The thing its the smf configuration affect the way this mod works, a little Example:

Case 1 - "Resize images when showing under posts" is OFF in admin panel



The result its:

Inside the topic it show the attached image in original size: (correct)


BUT it show in  the listing the image in the original size too! (incorrect)





Case 1 - "Resize images when showing under posts" is ON in admin panel




The mod take the  200 pixels x 200 pixels config.
The result its:


So in listing it show the correct thumb size (200x200) (correct)



BUT Inside the topic now it show the attached image in clickeable thumb size:  (incorrect, i would like a original size image not a 200x200 clickeable thumb, its thats possible? just as vbulletin)


vbgamer45 thanks a lot, you made a very good job with this mod.

thanks in advance, grettings.

What I always do is attach an image and show that as a thumbnail, ( with resize images when showing under posts ON) so on the topic listing it shows the thumbnail as you showed. Next, when you upload your image to i.e. photobucket, or imageshack you can put the link to the image between [img] [ /img]  so it shows the image in the post as a large image.

A quick question

Why is it that this mod sometimes insist on showing the second attached image instead of the first attached image ??

[gwuix2]

I have the following error:

Code: [Select]

Not unique table/alias: 'big'
Fájl: /public_html/Sources/MessageIndex.php
Sor: 446
I have mods installed but as i saw none of them have modified Sources/MessageIndex.php.
I have no idea what to do.

I made a test forum and on that forum it works perfect.
Btw i have modified it a little bit: hxxp:teszt.rapszajt.com/index.php?board=1.0 [nonactive]
cool

Help me pls, thx.
I attached the .php file.

EDIT: I solved this, i dunno what was the problem, i simply overwrited the file with the working one form the test forum ( barbarian huh? )

[Liam.]

Could there be an option of which thumbnail to show? That'd be epic!

It only does every so often for me. Strange :/

I love this mod, but as requested in 2008 by sombody else, this mod definately needs a option to turn it on in selected boards, it can be a bit messy, round whole forum, especialy on boards that dont contain many attachments, but i realy do want this mod, as theres plenty of boards which are used mainly to attach images, just wis i could select them boards for it to be activated on..
 
I believe last time i used this mod i set boards to use a different theme, and only installed the mod on that theme, but thats one hella annoying way todo it lol.
 
Do you think this feature will be far along?
 
Thanks for all the work you do its a great mod!
