Thumbnail on Topic Listing

[Chaos Dragon]

I am using the default theme. It will be the only theme I will be using.

Hello
I have a couple of questions regarding this mode:

Is it possible to use as thumbnail something other then attached image?
Because I will want to use forum for commenting images in site-s gallery, and I will want to make it something like this:
Topic listing:
hxxp:forums.cgsociety.org/forumdisplay.php?f=121 [nonactive]

Single topic:
hxxp:forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=121&t=771681 [nonactive]

When user will upload image to his gallery, automatically will be created new topic for that image, and in first post will be scaled down image (witch will be also link for full preview) and description. I don't want to put image as attachment, becouse that way I will have to upload original image twice on my site. I want to use already made thumbnail (by site-s gallery) and scale down version of image in post (not as attachment).
So basically, I just need to know if is possible to change witch image will be shown as topic thumbnail.

And second question; I'm using custom theme on forum... is this a problem?

Great mod, but there should be a feature which forces users to upload a picture, and maybe a way to moderate out bad pictures.

Hi,
Thanks for looking I hope you can help.

  I have your mod 1.1.1 and the default theme with vers. 1.1.10 and the problem is when the sticky post has an image.
  If the sticky post has an image the color on the right in the "last post" section is gray. you can see that example on my site here:
http://treasuredigging.com/welcome/
The element that is affected is titlebg, it looks like a windowbg2 element is created on sticky posts with an image.

  If the sticky topic has no image all is well as seen on my site here:

thanks, nice work!!!

I'm pretty sure I posted in the right spot, your mod works fine except when the topic is a sticky with an image. Did you look at the 2 links I posted? If I need to post somewhere else I'm all ears. I appreciate the help

I don't think you posted in the right topic.

You're right, this has been fixed.

  It was a problem with another mod that we installed manually and wasn't added to the list.

Sorry for the trouble but it did look like a problem when an image was posted in a topic and it was stickied.

can you tell me how you fixed it, because I have the same problem.

Sure,
Open up your themes Messageindex.template.php and find this

Code Select Expand

$stickybar = false;
$normalbar = false;
foreach($context['topics'] as $topic)
{
if($topic['is_sticky'] && !$stickybar)
{
echo'<tr class="titlebg"><td colspan="', empty($options['display_quick_mod']) ? '7' : '8', '"><b>Important Topics</b></td></tr>';
$stickybar = true;
}
else if(!$topic['is_sticky'] && $stickybar && !$normalbar)
{
echo'<tr class="titlebg"><td colspan="', empty($options['display_quick_mod']) ? '7' : '8', '"><b>Normal Topics</b></td></tr>';
$normalbar = true;
}


Replace it with this

Code Select Expand

$stickybar = false;
$normalbar = false;
foreach($context['topics'] as $topic)
{
if($topic['is_sticky'] && !$stickybar)
{
echo'<tr class="titlebg"><td colspan="', empty($options['display_quick_mod']) ? '8' : '9', '"><b>Important Topics</b></td></tr>';
$stickybar = true;
}
else if(!$topic['is_sticky'] && $stickybar && !$normalbar)
{
echo'<tr class="titlebg"><td colspan="', empty($options['display_quick_mod']) ? '8' : '9', '"><b>Normal Topics</b></td></tr>';
$normalbar = true;
}

Good Luck,

I set my attachment size in ?action=manageattachments  but the thumbnails on the topic list are still huge...

what could be doing this?

[Harvester]

Hmm yes somehow they are,
But if I change the size of the image it needs to be previewed first until the height and width are increased or decreased.

Pretty odd..

I am experiencing same issue... using SMF 1.1.10

Default thumbnail where no attachment exists

Ok firstly thanks for this great mod!  I searched around for an extra feature which I couldnt find so I made a small change myself.  What I wanted was for those posts that dont have any attached images to show a default thumbnail in the message index.  Let me just say Im in no way a PHP programmer so this is hardcoded but at least it works!  The defaultthumbnail.jpg I manually sized as 100x100.

In MessageIndex.template.php

find

Code Select Expand

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

add after

Code Select Expand

// MOD to show default thumnail image
else
{
echo '<img src="http://www.site.com/defaultthumbnail.jpg">';
$imagefound = true;
}
// END MOD to show default thumbnail image

Nice maybe I can add it to next release

[Tanks]

Thanks for updating this to 2.0

I might use it on a new board i have planned.

[fmsllc]

thanks for that code iosys.

my question is rather simple, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a solution. I'd like to give the column a title, where as it is currently blank. On the same top bar as menu, started by, etc... I'd like to put "Thread Preview" on the descriptive column at the top of the thumbnails.

**never mind. I found the code in the messageindextemplate file. I'm just having trouble positioning the text above that column.

When you figure it out post how you did it because thats something Id use too

[vbgamer45]

It would probably be in an empty <td> tag in the main header of the messageindex.template.php
