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

This shows the display with extened info, the display is add to the FORUMHOME template for this example, then by doing the same simple condition as above you get the display loaded...

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!

Warning: main(): Failed opening '/home/*****/public_html/****/testboard./includes/functions_randomize.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /global.php on line 21

In 'global.php' in your forum directory, open it up!

change this....

On the Linux server I tested this on I need to put (.) before '/includes...' It seems to not be the case for others. So just change what I said to do above, and you will be just fine after that!

The CVS system is for my mods, it allows for adding and removing mods, via the admin cp, all you do is upload the the mod.gz, and it installs or unistalls the mod, plus it allows for editing and keeping track of the edits using a version control system!

This updates version 1.0.001 to 1.0.002, it also fixes any changes that may happened since you might have downloaded and installed version 1.0.001!

Ok, now after following your instructions in last 2 posts, i can now login to admincp :classic:

But now, when editing usergroups i am getting errors on top and bottom and i don't see any options to check random images settings. Please check screenshots.

I have uploaded the template, merged with default template and also rebuilt all languages

:confused:

Are you sure you placed 'adminfunctions_randomize.php' into your include directory!

There are (2) scripts that belong in the includes directory!

1. functions_randomize.php (forum related) [found in the (forum) mod directory]
2. adminfunctions_randomize.php (admin related) [found in the (admin) mod directory]

they both need to be in....

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

The path is right, it's just saying that adminfunctions_randomize.php is not in the includes directory!

Quote:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/adminfunctions_randomize.php on line 66

First do what it says in the main install (read.txt) file under item (6)

Quote:

6.

Login to the Admin CP
A. Go To >> Languages & Phrases >> Language Manager >> Click >> [Rebuild All Languages]

Then go to UserGroup Manager and see if everything now shows up! If It does, then all is ok, if it doesn't we need to check if any of the phrases where really inserted into the database! Use the script attached to do this!

WARNING

Only do this after doing what I said above, and only do this if the phrases do not appear after trying what is above!

Ill attah the script in few minutes, I am writting it now!

me!
