[Plugin] Board Description Images 1.0.1

[Lychee]

I changed the image hosting site and it now works. Thank you!

[Guest001]

I'm somewhat completely new to the concept of editing this in V5, and I am a little lost in the matter of coding.



If someone would be so kind, please explain to me how to edit this. I've set up the plugin and it's installed and ready to go, the main settings are already set.



I just need to know how to actually edit this so that the text fade overs the images.



My site is : foreverstranger.boards.net/

Looking at your site, the plugin doesn't look to be enabled. Go to the settings page for the plugin and check that there are no messages about required fields, or about the plugin not being enabled. If you have already enabled it, please check that the permission for viewing the plugin is set to "Everyone".

It's me Guest,

Apparently, it was in those settings all along...
It might not have been applied to the current theme, but I went ahead and did changed that already. 
I'll give an image of the current settings now.

Those were the settings for the your Plugin, I've checked all the boxes for the themes now.

I'm extremely new at this coding style; I haven't made my own skin in forever. I know it has to do with your fix for board templates at the top but to me, just a bit, it sounds like Greek (which I do not read or speak). Can you help me with getting the images to show up Shrike?

Thank you.

Here's the board link: aalai.proboards.com

I am using Justin's Board Modification.

@ Aalai, which images are you trying to show? where are they supposed to be located?

Currently on the general board when you roll over. They are not showing up at all. I just wanted to test it; this and the sidebar are the last things I need before converting my real forum over.

Thank you. I am probably doing something silly, I just don't get where I am meant to put the codes she requested to make it work with board modifications.

Hey on IE9 and 10 the images show up but they're only 1px wide even when I set the width in the plugin settings to anything else. Halp!

This is a problem with Justin's board modification removing important parts of the default template for no useful reason (most importantly the board ID). My Display Name will need to fix his template mod to work with this.

I'm not seeing any problems in IE 10 on 3 different forums that use this plugin. Could you provide a link to your forum and I'll have a closer look?

I'll fix it sometime this week.

You'll have to settle for a screenshot because my board is in maintenance mode until Monday

That screenshot doesn't really tell me anything that you haven't said already I'm afraid. I just need to see the page once and then I can look at the code. You can either quickly open it and then close it back up when I've got the page, or you'll have to wait until you take it out of maintenance mode for me to help with this.

Please try to be quick about it, don't want people seeing this just yet

Thanks, you can turn maintenance mode back on now.

Edit: Can you double-check the main settings for the plugin? From what I can see, none of the images have the width set. There are even some which don't have a board ID selected. For example, there should be numbers in the "ref" and "imwidth" fields here, as provided in the plugin settings, but there aren't any.

{
 "ref" : [],
 "img" : "http://i.imgur.com/QOpWAPf.png",
 "ovr" : "0",
 "imheight" : "75",
 "imwidth" : ""
},

It does this even when I do set the width, and some of them aren't assigned to boards because I decided to change the images and haven't finished making the replacements yet.
