Images On Board

[Bulakbol]

@drav
The edits should be the same. Just find and replace the code I mentioned and you'll be fine.

@khaleed
Edit BoardIndex.template.php and MessageIndx.template.php of your custom theme. Just look for $board['description'] and you'll figure out where to add the code yourself. It's not that hard.

thanks for the reply Bulakbol

I edit the boardindex.template.php and messageindex.template.php but the image does not appear. In the boards that I try to show the image just show *. Below is the example the code that I already edit in both templates.

Before

Code Select Expand

<td class="windowbg2">
               <b><a href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '">', $board['name'], '</a></b><br />
                  ', $board['description'];
so I replaced it with

Code Select Expand

<td class="windowbg2" valign="top" style="padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px;">';
            if (!empty($board['image']))
                  echo '<div style="float:left; margin-right: 4px;"><img src="' . $settings['default_images_url'] . '/ImagesOnBoard/' . $board['image'] . '" alt="*" /></div>';

Go to Admin => Boards (modify a board). In the "Name of image for this board:", enter "stop.png". Don't forget to upload your images too.

Hi Bulakbol,

I download the image but it's still doesn't show the image that I want. It's still show the * .

[khaleed]

Great Mod, but I can't make it work. At least, I can't see the images... 

Anyway, here's a translation:

Portuguese - Brazilian

$txt['board_image'] = '<b>Nome da imagem para esta categoria:</b><br />Incluir a extensão do arquivo. (exemplo: xx.gif)';

@DollhouseBz
You will not see any images unless you modify your boards and enter the image filename to use. If you ned help, lt me know. I thank you for the Language translation. I would like to know if it is for both "Portuguese" and "Brazilian" so I can add it to the next update.

Sorry for the confusion on the language. Actually that is Brazillian Portuguese. Both Brazil and Portugal officially speak Portuguese, but in reality it's as different as British English from Australian or American... (or more! 

And I still can't see the images on the boards... I modified one board, uploaded the image. I can see it in the "Image on Board" file on my website directory, but I can't see the image.

I've recently installed my forum and I'm kind of a newbie. I want to set the forum ok before I invite people in.

Tks

Hi again,

I followed gbsothere's step-by-step tut and finally got what I was doing wrong: my images were way too big!

Thank you Gbsothere! 

Now the problem is that it seems I can't do anything directly to Images On Board file! I can't erase the larger images, change names, nothing! (neither could I upload the images directly into it... which would have been faster with many images...)

Why not?

Hi,

What version of SMF are you using and what theme?

When you say you can't do anything directly to the Images On Board file, do you mean that you need to do some sort of manual edit, or are you talking about being able to make changes in the Admin panel?  I'm an old man, you have to dumb it down for me.   

Did the mod install successfully for you and is it functioning?

Also, Dollhouse, are you using ftp to upload your images into the ImagesOnBoard directory, located in the images folder in your theme directory? 

I'm just groping around for more information.

hi gbsothere

I'm using SMF 1.1.10. Classic theme.

And I can upload pictures using the mod, but I can't do anything via ftp or directly (manual edit). Anyway, the MOD doesn't have any option for deleting uploaded pictures, right?

I installed the MOD and it's working ok. But as I'm using another language (Brazilian Portuguese) the words don't show. Once again, your tut was invaluable!!!

[gbsothere]

Dollhouse, did you do the edits to your language files?   

Check this thread:

Edit:    Wait, I'm even more confused than usual.   

Are you saying that you don't have ftp access and that you can only do things through the package manager? 

[baagacheppav]

I tried installing this MOD through admin panel in smf 1.1.10 version..

i got this error ::   The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

please guide me in installing this mod in 1.1.10 version.  I really need this mod

theme :: SMF Default theme  core

@DollhouseBz
Are you okay now?

@baagacheppav
Apology for the delayed reply. Try downloading the mod to your PC. Then upload and install.

I am not able to install .... it is showing this error

"The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted"

I have that issue when installing any mods .. how I solve it is to go to :

Admin / Packages / Options / Cleanup Permissions

Set that to : Only the standard files are writable

After I install a mod, I always go back and set it to : The minimum files are writable.

@sandmannd
Can you post a screen cap?

Here's what they look like on my main boards (how I would like them all to look)



Here's how my child boards look.



I would like the name of the board on top of the banner on the child boards instead of next to them.

Bulakbol it's been a while, have you been able to look at my issue at all? Right now I can't get images to show on child boards at all.

[wickedstangs]

what is a good recommeded size for the images?

[Bulakbol]

@baagacheppav
Which package are you trying to download? Have you tried  baagacheppav tip?

@sandmannd
Sorry. The only file attached in your last post was BoardIndex.template.php so I thought your problem is solved. You have to edit your MessageIndex.template.php manually as well.

[sandmannd]

Can you tell me the edit I have to make?
