Great script. Thanks!

I am having 1 problem though. When i am logged out, the picture does not appear. It shows an image icon, image name and this "(0, 0 views)"

I am using Vb 3.5.

[andrewtr89]

Hello,

Does this work on 3.6.4? I tried installing it, but the instructions are a bit above my level of knowledge. If anyone can help I'd be greatly appreciative.

Thanks,
Andrew

Ive done this and works well. But however, I still could not figure out how to get the following working :

- how to show the replies/views count?
-how to show the send message and print hread icons?

Appreciate any kind soul could assist. TIA:)

How do you edit adv_portal_newsbits

[kokoko]

wow it is helpful thread

[skuba]

Hi,
I don't understand. There is no option to upload attachments with news.
Are we supposed to use forum messages as news?
Thanks

[PhilMcKrackon]

Take a look at the front page at the site in my sig. Check out the 'Jeep Trailhawk' section, that is actually a forum post, could easily be a news post. It is all done with careful custom bbcodes. The images are directly from my gallery and resized, alt tagged, aligned and if needed borderd.

Here is the first paragraph from the thread with the custom bbcode The vehicle's upper structure is set onto the lower body, encased by a crisp, chamfered 360-degree molding that runs around the greenhouse, accenting the high, arching beltline.
At the base of the windshield is a seven-slot cowl
right0 http://www.jeep-cj.com/gallery/files/1/jeep_trailhawk_2.jpg 200 165 Jeep Tailhawk
screen that reprises the grille.
The body is painted in Argent Pearl high-gloss, with the flares and lower body a slightly darker low-gloss variant.

I use tables, I just created custom bbcodes for the table html. Such as right = <table align="right"
100 = width="100"
1 = border="1"
test.jpg = <img src="test.jpg"
= />
Jeep CJ = alt="Jeep CJ"
= </td></tr></table> and so on.

That looks good. But I need some friendlier. The people that would help me wound't be able to learn how to use this. I know it's easy for us. But I need to offer something as easy as let's say posting a blog post on myspace. Maybe vbadvanced isn't the tool for that and I need to look for another solution.

Suggestions?

Thanks

ThanksI posted the individual bbcodes that I use. I also made up some simple ones that I let others use.

Ex - bbcode = insert table left align, as an option the users can add a image resize if they want. Ex - [lft]test.jpg[lft] would insert the image in a table using left align with no resize. [lft=200]test.jpg would do the same except resize the image to 200x200.

I made [lft], [rght] and [cntr] for my regular bbcodes. You can get very creative with bbcode if you like.

Just a thought...

[PhilMcKrackon]

I reread my last post and I thought I might try clearing it up a bit.

I create several bbcodes for easy image resizing and creation in tables for my users.

EX - image.jpg The tr200 is short for 'table right 200 width', and the =400 sets the height of the image.

The BBcode actually parses to
<table align="right" border="0"><tr><td><img src="image.jpg" width="200"
height="400" alt="image.jpg"/></td></tr></table>
by using the replacement as follows.

<table align="right" border="0"><tr><td><img src="{param}"
width="200" height="{option}" alt="{param}"/></td></tr></table>

So, my users can easily insert an image left, right or center justified by using any combination of the 't' codes.

They are :

tr50, tr100, tr150, tr200, and tr250 (table align right)
tl50, tl100, tl150, tl200, and tl250 (table align left)
tc50, tc100, tc150, tc200, and tc250 (table align center)


So, to place an image on the left and make it 150x225 they would use:image.jpg
the BBCode automatically formats all the table code using the width and height specified and also even puts in an 'alt' tag for SEO... :)
