Forum Display Enhancements - Random Thumbs Display (3.5.*, 3.6.*)

Random Thumbs Display (Version 1.0.002)

ALL READY vBulletin 3.5.4, 3.6.0 tested, all working fine!


This mod was a request by MaxM, with this mod you can display (###) of image thumbnails anywhere and on any page in your forum. The output can be placed in template by just adding the condition, to the template you want the thumbnail images to be displayed!

The control works with each user group, so you can turn it (on) for one group while having it turned (off) for others.

Options

Turn (off, on) per user group
Show this (###) of thumbnails
How many to show per row (###)
Display on all page (yes, no)
If (do not display) on all pages [input => pages to show the thumbnails] (clickable select box with all forum pages)
Show extended information (yes, no)
Create Image Link (yes, no) [should the thumbnail be made into a URL link]
If (create link = yes) (select box options => point to topic, point to post, point to full size attachment)

Screens

New Version 1.0.002

Added global scope to the random_image templates (now they are cached, no extra query)
Added new templates that maintain a nice uniformed display!
Added (dynamic) [colspan(s), width(s)] so now the display looks much nicer (evenly spaced)


The zip file in this post contains Version 1.0.002


UPGRADE Version 1.0.001 to 1.0.002

Same version as above, but if you already have 1.0.001 installed, then you only need to replace the templates and add (1) script edit, then replace (1) include file (functions_randomize.php) so it matches the new template variables!

Find that zip file by following this link!

New Display

Added another image so you can see how things now look more centered, it's all dynamic, based on how many images to display and how many rows!

[MaxM]

Thanks a million xyz, installing right now!

[MaxM]

But Sonia, is there any way to rollback (uninstall) this hack (if in somecase i did something wrong) because it need some db change.. that why i wana be sure

[xyz]

Always make backups of any script you edit...

The database can be reset very easily, but edits must be done by hand, because one never knows what type of edits have been done to each script before or after some mod install!

But you could use my vBCVS system, which monitors script changes, so everytime you make a edit you can roll back the script or many scripts with a single click of a button. As much as vBulletin is moded you would thing that vBulletin would have something like this built in!

Anyway, like I said...

Make backups! (before editing)

1. copy 'global.php' to global.random.txt
2. copy 'usergroup.php' to usergroup.random.txt

Database Uninstall

You must first be a registered member to view any code.
