UBB.threads 7.7.0 - Progress Report (2019-01-18) [by isaac]

Changelog 2019-01-18
[NEW] CP: A new "Can create portal news" forum permission has been added. This permission allows a group to create news items that will appear on the portal. This is useful when you have news content "Contributor" or "Editor" member groups.
[NEW] Members who can create portal news can now turn any topic in to a news item by selecting a News Icon as they create a new topic or edit a current topic post. Choosing a News Image will allow the topic to display on the forum's News Portal, regardless of it being within a News Forum. Note; topics with a news image will ignore user groups. Anyone will be able to read the topic post regardless of their current group permissions. Only the first post will be displayed on the forum News Portal. To read its replies or download its attachments, users must belong to a group which allows those permissions for which forum the post is located within.
[NEW] Several basic News Images are now included with UBB.threads. When creating your own News Images, the recommended size is a max-width and max-height of 100px. Regardless, your News Images should represent your forum's feel, and thus can also be styled using the .news-image CSS class. This class will style the html img tag.

[UPDATE] The News Portal has been updated with a modern entry page layout.
[UPDATE] Minor layout optimizations to the Who's Online page.

[FIX] Fixed missing IP address in email notifications of Multiple Account Logins and Lost Password Requests. (Thanks to Morgan for reporting this bug!)
[FIX] Lots of PHP 7.1, PHP 7.2, PHP 7.3 fixes. UBB.threads is now compatible with PHP 5.4 - PHP 7.3.

Random Image from gallery [by Zarzal]

There are 2 ways to get a nice random image island box.
The first code will show a random picture and if you click the box it takes you to the gallery which contains the image. Copy & Paste it in a custom island and set the generation time as you like. I use 15 minutes.

PHP Code

/* PHP CODE HERE */
$query = "
	SELECT
		`POST_ID`, `FILE_DIR`, `FILE_NAME`
	FROM
		`{$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}FILES`
	WHERE
		`FILE_DIR`<>''
	ORDER BY
		rand()
	LIMIT
		1
";
$sth = $dbh->do_query($query,__LINE__,__FILE__);
list($postId,$fDir,$fName) = $dbh->fetch_array($sth);

/* BODY HERE */
$body = <<<EOF
<div class="p2" style="height:180px;overflow:hidden;position:relative;width:180px;display:inline-block;">
<a href="{$config['BASE_URL']}/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showgallery&Number=$postId">
<img src="{$config['BASE_URL']}/gallery/$fDir/medium/$fName" alt="" title="" class="p2 cp oi" style="position:absolute;left:-100%;right:-100%;top:-100%;bottom:-100%;margin:auto;min-height:100%;height:180px;">
</a>
</div>
EOF;

This second code is nearly identical. But if you click the image in the box it open the image in a lightbox and dont take you to the gallery.

PHP Code

/* PHP CODE HERE */
$query = "
	SELECT
		`POST_ID`, `FILE_DIR`, `FILE_NAME` , `FILE_DESCRIPTION`
	FROM
		`{$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}FILES`
	WHERE
		`FILE_DIR`<>''
	ORDER BY
		rand()
	LIMIT
		1
";
$sth = $dbh->do_query($query,__LINE__,__FILE__);
list($postId,$fDir,$fName,$fDesc) = $dbh->fetch_array($sth);

/* BODY HERE */
$body = <<<EOF
<div class="p2" style="height:180px;overflow:hidden;position:relative;width:180px;display:inline-block;">
<a href="{$config['BASE_URL']}/gallery/$fDir/full/$fName" data-lightbox="gallery" data-title="$fDesc">
<img src="{$config['BASE_URL']}/gallery/$fDir/medium/$fName" alt="" title="" class="p2 cp oi" style="position:absolute;left:-100%;right:-100%;top:-100%;bottom:-100%;margin:auto;min-height:100%;height:180px;">
</a>
</div>
EOF;
