Possible New Forum Feature VERSION 2

[Dan Hintz]

Jeff,

I don't have the link offhand, but there's an online tester where you can load any webpage using any browser... you may want to dig that up and have at it. That should point out any flaws.

 

[BayouPenturner]

Jeff great job, this is a wonderful improvement. Now our work can be critiqued closer so we can learn from the feedback

 

[penmaker56]

Jeff, my 2 cents: all for it, great feature.

 

[hippi]

works for me ie10 win 7 it is a keeper

 

[mredburn]

That is phenomenal I really like version 2

 

[jcm71]

Works for me in Safari. Great job!

 

[Band Saw Box]

Jeff, I think Version 2 is better.

 

[bjbear76]

A big 2 thumbs up!

Jeff, I don't know if anyone has asked this yet but since your using the images uploaded to the photo album for this feature I assume this would not work for pictures that are linked to an external photo album?

That hasn't been determined yet. I will provide instructions to insert the codes manually to make it work, and as long as external links are available to a thumbnail and the full sized image, it'll work exactly the same way. I'll be tinkering with it to see how we can make it work better.

Working fine on my mac pro, not my iPad. I give a thumbs up to this feature.

Let me know if you need some test material.

As with the previous edition it works well on my MacBook Pro with the latest versions of Safari, Chrome and FF. Also works well using the LastPass browser on my iPad. Well done.

Love the scroll feature. Can't wait until you put this into production.

The zoomed image gets cut off in FF mobile.

FYI...This feature doesn't appear to work at all in ForumRunner. In ForumRunner the original pictures show up like a link but when you select it you get an error that the image can not be found on the server. I suspect that feature is not supported on ForumRunner.

On my Kindle HD, there's a problem. I can tap the screen and it opens a bigger pic no probs, and I can also stroke the screen to zoom in further. But it is impossible to get out of. No matter what I do, it leaves the screen in the background shadow. The only way out is to use the browser back button to take me to the previous page. I'm sure it'll work fine on my laptop though.

Kindle browser is called Silk

 

[tbroye]

Guess I won't be posting any pictures until I really improve the fit and finish.

 

[Crashmph]

ok... I like this a lot. please implement this one.

I really like being able to click through the pictures once you have one of them opened up to full size verses the current method of closing the image and clicking another one.

This feature only works when client-side Javascript is enabled. ForumRunner isn't a browser and so doesn't natively support client side Javascript.

I made a small adjustment. A tap on the expanded picture should close it. Let me know if that works. Make sure you freshly load the page before you try it.

Good point
This feature looks great in a browser but if the pictures at the start of this thread represent the final version, people using ForumRunner, and other apps on mobile devices won't be able to see any pictures.

Well that's a flaw I had not fully considered... ForumRunner does not support modifications which don't rely on vBulletin's core functionality, AND it doesn't do client-side Javascript. Two strikes!

A fair number of our users visit from mobile devices using ForumRunner, so I'd hate to exclude them from seeing any image at all. Those who use a mobile browser should have no problem.

I can tweak ForumRunner to ignore the code so that users see nothing, and I might be able to at least display a thumbnail.

Thanks Jeff, your little tweek fixed it. Nice feature, many thanks!!:good::good::good:

 

[Lathemaster]

Works for me in Firefox, Chrome and Dolphin on my tablet

 

[BW Design Works]

I like it!! I think the middle size thumb nails look the best. Gives you a great view of the pen then if you want to see the fit and finish a bit more then you can. The next arrow is a great feature.

Great job!

 

[kruzzer]

it works great... I really like this feature

I'm using a Commodore 64, there are pictures on here?

That's because for stone knives and bearskins you really need one of these Chris!

I was going to try it on my abacus but I'm missing a few beads and don't know of anyone that could turn some more for me :biggrin:

Try FR again. You should be able to see the pictures now.

The zoom won't work on FR because it doesn't support Javascript.

Yes, the pictures in this thread now appear with FR and I'm able to zoom in on the picture using the normal mobile functions. One thing I did notice was that the last set of pictures in the initial thread ( you labeled them "the small thumbnails") are very blurry. The others look great. The ability to scroll through the pictures is great also.

Thanks Jeff!

Perfect on Chrome MacBook Air!
