Hey, thanks for this!
I just have some questions.
1.
I see thread subject and your message
then when I put something in there, save that and then choose edit it I see
Subject
Image (with browse button) and
Your Message
What I mean is I don't see an image download input field when I choose New Thread, only when I edit.
What am I doing wrong?
2.
Also, I set Thread Grouping to 3 but it still shows 4 in a row (I have 4 threads now). When I set it to 2 it also does not change...
3.
Is it possible for me to upload the images to an external location?
I have 2Gb max diskspace on my server and I have another server that has unlimited storage space, that's why.
Thanks

Do you have {$extra_threadfields} variable in your newthread template?
Added that, thx
I hope my other question, especially the one about uploading to an external location, still gets answered
Thanks again!

Do you use Yumi's template like the example? Maybe an url will help.

I think we don't have the feature. Maybe you need to wait Yumi to reply about this.
Pushing files around servers isn't exactly an easy thing and definitely cannot be done by this script the way it is now (maybe if there's a way to tunnel some protocol over PHP's standard fopen architecture, maybe).
In all seriousness:
- Why not host on the unlimited server?
- I doubt you're going to exhaust 2GB. That's a crapload of images...
- When you do, you'll probably need to move servers anyway, due to the amount of server load you'll be consuming

yes, I am already 'preparing' myself to swap servers...
just wanted to know if it were possible.
thanks for a great plugin and for all your help!
btw, if I would want to disable file upload and just would allow to enter an url to the image, would that be possible and if yes, how?
Thanks!

Use a textbox input, rather than a file input. The URL option of the file input actually mirrors the file onto the server.
Make sure your textbox input has the following text mask, to ensure that it is an URL:
Hey, yes I did that thanks
It works of course, I just don't see anymore where I can set the thumbnails..
Is that correct? If so, then I will just keep it as it is with the upload box

The server needs the image on its disk to be able to generate a thumbnail (and obviously needs to store it on disk), so no, there's not much you can do there.
Only alternative is to use an external image hosting service which produces thumbnails for you - you'll need your users to upload there and perhaps fill in a thumbnail field, or use the text mask filter to construct the thumbnail URL (if possible) from it (will require you to be familiar with regular expressions).
Yes, that will make things complicated for them, while the plugin as it is now is so easy...
Thanks for all your help, I will just monitor the diskspace and in the end I will have to move servers as you suggested.
