[block] Approved Articles / Sorted, Paginated, Categorized, & Customized

[ZarPrime]

dimdom,

Though I haven't tried this snippet, ,it's my understanding that this code shows the articles in a list form so I don't see how there would be room for an image.  Have you even tried the snippet yet?  The next time Ianedres is on, perhaps he can comment on this since it's his code.

Yes, I am using it for the last 18 months.

There is room for images.

So you want to add a tiny little image for each line?

So you want to add a tiny little image for each line?

Yes. 

The first image in every article (if there is one).

[IchBin]

But how would you tell what the image is when it would be tiny enough to fit on each line? Honestly, I don't see this happening. You'd have to do some sort of text search to find an image in the article text, which to me would be very, very complicated.

[Ianedres]

There would be several issues to address your request.

It would have to parse for BBC image tags in the article itself, thus adding many more queries (and code) to the script, and just would not seem practical.

Thanks Ich and Zar!

Does this script have to be updated for use with TP 1.0 Beta 5-1?

I have had the block up for sometime on the previous version but has stopped working since upgrading to beta 5

Rafferty,

Welcome back to our new site.

Yes, undoubtedly, if this snippet has database calls, it will have to be updated for the latest version.  I'm sure that Freddy or Ichbin will take a look at this as soon as they can and see if it can easily be updated.  What version of SMF are you using?  They will ask.

There was a problem with the way that TP was saving code in beta 5.1. YOu should probably update to beta5.2

If you're still running SMF 1.1.x it should work fine regardless of the TP version. But if you're using SMF2 it will need to be converted. Let us know which version you're running.
