Display only one thumbnail with your news

[Lionel]

So you allow for many attachments in your threads and they all display on your portal news page?

This ought to be the easiest hack in vbadvanced history.

In news.php module, replace

eval('$news[\'attachment\'] .= "' . fetch_template('postbit_attachmentthumbnail') . '";');

with

eval('$news[\'attachment\'] = "' . fetch_template('postbit_attachmentthumbnail') . '";');

That's it! It will display only one thumbnail, the last one.
To display the first one, try changing the order by with
ORDER BY attachmentid DESC

See images for before and after.

How does one even get the images to show up in the news? All I get is just the file name show to click on.

Hmm I dont see any difference in the two codes, is that for everyone or just my eyes playing tricks on me?

I simply removed one dot "." before the equal sign.
