[b4ne]

have a look at my first post : how can i fix this ?

Would anyone take a look at www.78749.org and take a guess at why my news attachment is showing up as a link at the top of the news article?

I would believe it's because it's a link to the actual post...click it and you'll go to the forum the news is posted in..

When I click it, the photo is displayed by itself in its own browser. It should be displaying the photo on the homepage next to the news. I can't think of anything I did wrong.. I just copyied the template over.

I see that the author of the mod is experiencing the same thing on his site
http://www.i-club.com/

It looks like the original mod may have been prior to vBa 1.0.0, so maybe its just a problem after upgrading to vBa 1.0.0

I sure can't figure it out.

I'm going to go ahead and revert back to the original template and monitor this thread for a fix.

I'm guessing but I thing the problem might be related to permissions, if you register you can see the pictures and not the links, so I think you have to change permisions for unregisters users in regards to thumbnails and that should fix it.

You would be right, you have to enable guests to view attachments

well just finished my site over the weekend. i installed this template mod with some color fixes, but when i don't post an attachment the post text shows above the title. i removed the avatar cell, and i noticed there are 2 cells with $news[message] but don't understand why it goes above the title when there's no attachment. i attached my template if anybody can help?

Anyone figure out why this is jacked? I have a safemode restriction right now preventing me from showing inline images, could that be it? Using RC3 and VBA 1.0.0. Test forum setup now, Safemode shouldnt be an issue later.

Would really appreciate the help if anyone can, If I cant get this to work I have to scrap using VBA completely, cant revert to non-image newsposts again.

weird no problems here with CMPS 1.0.0 & VB 3.0.3

[Armed Weasel]

Can anyone give me a hand with my setup. I am having a problem that someone else also had and i can't seem to figure it out either. Can anyone lead me a hand. My test site is http://www.forum.xtreme-systems.net/ Thanks folks

I messed around with the resulting html a bit and found out there is an option call "align=left" on the img tag that causes the text to wrap around the graphic. I don't know exactly how to implement it yet. There's also a way to do it through CSS. Check out the attachment. Rename it to a .html. I couldn't upload the file as a txt as it was larger than the limit.

Got It!!!!

in adv_portal_newsbits:
find:

PHP Code:

            <if condition="$news['attachmentid']">
                <tr class="alt1">
                <td valign="top">
                    $attachment
                </td>
                <td align="justify" width="100%" valign="top">
                    $news[message]
                </td>
                </tr>
                <else />
                    $news[message]    
                </if> 


replace with:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$news['attachmentid']">
                <tr class="alt1">
                <td align="justify" width="100%">
                                <table border="0" align="left" 
                                                  valign="top">
                                <tr>
                                   <td>$attachment</td>
                                </tr>
                                </table>
                    $news[message]
                </td>
                </tr>
            <else />
                $news[message]    
            </if> 


This is my first contribution so I hope it works for everyone.

Check to make sure that everyone viewing your site has the rights to view the images. Guests/registered/everyone.

<img src="IMAGE.GIF" align="left" border="0" hspace="5" vspace="5">Your post here.
