Hi,
I've been looking around for portals for a while now, and there seems to be a problem with inline attachment images displaying on the front pages of the portal when posts from a news forum are displayed on the portal. I was wondering if that is a problem in Board3portal?

tl;dr Will inline image attachments display on the portal news posts?

thanks.

Not yet.
Maybe we'll implement this feature before the final release, but we'll see.

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I guess this must be pretty tricky, since no portal can get it working.

I'll keep looking, maybe I'll be back again

I was asking for this before and couldn't find any. But hey, now you can do it. Check out this this topic from phpbb. Attached images can be displayed with the news. Or as a gallery too.

Cheers,

Awesome hewitt!
Many thanks for sharing this!

As i had a quick look: it's limited to images?

(Moved topic to: Blocks - In Development)

Yes, it only displays images. Such as jpg, jpeg, gif, png, bmp. Other types of images can be added on

Any progress?

I've finally managed to bring up inline attachment functionality, so happy

Now I'm going to post this mod here.....

Hope this code will bring inline attachments to your portal, guys.

1. OPEN
/portal/includes/functions.php

2. FIND

Code: Select all

$posts[$i]['bbcode_uid'] = $row['bbcode_uid'];
$len_check = $row['post_text'];

3. BEFORE ADD

Code: Select all

// Pull attachment data
$sql2 = 'SELECT *
	FROM ' . ATTACHMENTS_TABLE . '
	WHERE `post_msg_id` = '. $row['post_id'] .'
	AND in_message = 0';
				
$result2 = $db->sql_query($sql2);

while ($row2 = $db->sql_fetchrow($result2))
{
	$attachments[] = $row2;
}
$db->sql_freeresult($result2);

4. FIND

Code: Select all

$message = smiley_text($message); // Always process smilies after parsing bbcodes

5. BEFORE ADD

Code: Select all

if (!empty($attachments))
{
	parse_attachments($row['forum_id'], $message, $attachments, $update_count);
}

Well...that's it. Please correct me if it still wont working.

Wow - that's cool, thank you very much for sharing this!

I'll test it soon.
Do you have already a demo of the working code?

Sorry, but I prefer not to share my portal address. It would not show much anyway. But this code is working for me.

This code is taken from viewtopic.php and adapted for portal view. In other words it just makes portal to treat attachments the forum natural way. The main difference is that viewtopic.php operates with an array of posts instead of one at a time.

You could search through viewtopic.php for "// Pull attachment data"
and "parse_attachments($forum_id, $message, $attachments[$row['post_id']], $update_count);"

It works, but for some odd reason the attachments are in a reverse order on the portal. :/

Try to play around with mysql query from Step 3.

Adding "DESC" directive may fix that problem.

P.S. I have an incremental in ACP attachment order settings.

Yes, correct. He already added it.

Thanks again, connect, to point out this solution!

Maybe it's better to check that ACP option before mysql request?
