Support / Can Generated Threads Display The Thumbnail Instead Of The Full Size Image?

« on: September 09, 2017, 06:18:36 pm »

Hi again.

This one may actually qualify as a good question!

We have been wondering if we could get the threads generated by the gallery to display the generated thumbnails instead of full sized images.

We host some High Resolution stuff, and thumbnails would not only make pages load faster, it would save bandwidth for mobile users who view the threads instead of going to the gallery.

Plus, if I am very, very, lucky ... it will solve my problem with Mature Images displaying in generated threads at the same time since the gateway to those is actually the "mature" thumbnail

Support / Code Tag Does Not Use Scrollbars In Gallery

« on: September 06, 2017, 04:32:25 am »

Hi.

Me again with another annoying question I hope you can help resolve.

As you may recall, our site is about Fractals - Art generated by Mathematical Formulas.

We often display the code used to generate our images, but it can involve numbers with many, many, decimal places.

The code tag is the obvious way to do that since it condenses that sort of thing in a box with scrollbars.

Here's an example of what we are getting when this is done:

https://fractalforums.org/gallery/?sa=view;id=29

The code box does not open scrollbars in the gallery, but does open them in the forum thread generated by the gallery ( https://fractalforums.org/fractal-image-gallery/wiggly-fungus-spores-glitch/msg1141/#msg1141 ). Without scrollbars in the code box, the page stretches out to be extremely wide.

This was not an issue on our old site, but that admin was good with php, and sadly I am not.

Do you have any advice on how we can correct this?

Support / How To Enable Recent Images & Comments On Board Index?

« on: September 03, 2017, 09:53:24 am »

Hi,

We're moving our forum to a new site with a new gallery - making a clean start.

We're under new ownership and I have some basic questions I hope I didn't just miss in the documentation!

If you care to see examples of what I'm asking about, the link for the new site is the one under my avatar and the original site is fractalforums.com (new is .org).

I want to duplicate a few features of the .com's gallery on .org.

I like the "Recent Images and Recent Comments On Board Index" features .com has, but I can't seem to find how to enable them.

I found these entries in .com's Package Manager:

SMF Gallery Pro Recent Images Board Index 2.0.1
SMF Gallery Pro Recent Comments Board Index 2.0

But I was unable to locate those mods (I know - my search skills may need some work).

The .com site is old and has not been kept current with many things so those packages may be outdated. If there are more current replacements, or if displaying those things on the index page is a feature I missed, please let me know.

Support / Mature Images - Issue With Generated Threads

« on: July 30, 2017, 07:50:42 am »

Hi, I did a little research on an issue I'm having and it looks like it came up a few years ago as well, but I couldn't find if it ever got addressed.

http://www.smfhacks.com/index.php/topic,8297.msg35574.html#msg35574

I'll just quote that thread's first post since it states it so well:

I don't know if this is a bug, a missing feature or something I'm missing myself, but when a picture is marked as "Mature content", it is still visible in posts (if the option "create a post" is on).
Is there a way to prevent that ?

Did it ever make it to the To Do list? Last post in that thread said you'd consider it.

If I missed it someplace, please point me there!

If it was forgotten, please reconsider adding it to the To Do list.

I'm setting up the Gallery on the upcoming 2nd version of FractalForums. The .com is live, but the new domain is still in the works. We got the Pro Gallery for there, and in setting it up I noticed the Mature option. Not having that in our .com site always held me back - I'd love to have it on the new domain, but we will be making threads in the main forum from images posted, so it's kind of important if we are to allow Mature Content.

I know us perverts are often annoying, but ...

It's Art!

Thanks for any feedback you may have on this issue.

EDIT - I just realized this may belong in Feature Requests!

If staff agree I don't mind it moving and being re-titled accordingly.

EDIT 2: In what I hope is just a temporary work-around, I set up a "Naughty Images" category that does not generate threads. Not the best way but a hold-over, I hope.

Obviously the thread is good publicity that a post happened, so I'd still like to see a way to omit the picture or substitute something generic if the Mature setting is chosen.
