Image Thumbnails...

**Jaxel** · September 13, 2009

Is there a way to show image thumbnails, without all that crappy thumbnail markup?

I want to put a gallery of images on one of my articles, but the built in thumbnail markup is garbage.

Also... how do I rebuild thumbnails? I changed my thumbnail size, and rebuilt attachment thumbnails, but it didn't rebuild the thumbnails for wiki images.

Also... I still can't click Manage Attachments on an existing article... Any idea on how to fix this?

The thumbnail markup is very simple, so I don't know what you mean by "all that crappy markup"

Code:

[image]filename|thumb[/image]

Wiki images use a different thumbnail size from your other images. See vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > VaultWiki: General Settings.

If you can't click "Manage Attachments" on an existing article, the only thing I know of is a permissions issue. These are the only checks that are performed for the button:

Code:

$forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canpostattachment'] AND
$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] > 0 AND
!empty($vbulletin->userinfo['attachmentextensions']) AND
($vaultperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_vault_permissions['followeditrules'])

So, you will get Manage Attachments if you can:

Post attachments in the forum
You're not a guest
File extensions are configured in the AdminCP
Your edits are not moderated in this forum

I was saying the thumbnail markup is crappy because there is no obvious way to get rid of the small icon on the bottom right of the image. I figured out how to do it; but there wasn't a lot of documentation on it.

Code:

[image]filename|thumb|frame[/image]

I know wiki images use a different thumbnail size. What I am saying is that I edited vBulletin Options > vBulletin Options > VaultWiki: General Settings and then rebuilt thumbnails and none of my wiki image thumbnail sizes got updated.

As for manage attachments, it has nothing to do with permissions. Its the popup error I was telling you about in a previous thread. If I click MANAGE ATTACHMENTS on an EXISTING article (it works fine for NEW articles), instead of bringing me to the attachment control, it brings me here:

Its the same with ALL popup windows in the wiki, including "Open Contacts Popup".

The only thing I can think of for your Template:newattachment_php problems - since I have tried repeatedly to reproduce this at crackedeggstudios.com in IE but can't - is that your site is failing W3C XHTML validation, and IE might not do such a good job as other browsers making sense of the DOM.

Make sure your pages validate so we can rule that out as a factor.

Okay... biggest problem with the image markup... so much of it is controlled by a PLUGIN... and not the actual CSS. If I want to change things, I have to edit the plugin. For instance, if I change the padding in thumbinner, it pushes the image outwards.

This is because you have a max-width callup on the outer elements (with a variable called surround), which you clearly shouldn't have.
