Topic Attachments Summary

[ENTERPRISE]

Hey guys, 

 

Back on the old days, a certain forum had a function where you could see all the attachments uploaded in a thread, in one place, so there was no need to go trawling through multiple pages of a thread to find an a particular attachment you were interested in. 

 

I wanted to put feelers out to see if this is something you guys would find as a useful tool. 

 

It would look similar to the below.

 

 

 

Thoughts ? 

 

Thanks,

E

Voting with a "yay".

This was definitely helpful for Build Log threads, or threads dedicated to helping with certain tools, or benchmark sharing threads.

I agree that that would be a great feature for some of the longer threads out there.

I think it's a great idea, E!

 

Would clicking on the attachment itself take the reader to the post the attachment is associated with? Or just open the attachment in a separate tab/popup?

 

I'm guessing most would likely find the former useful if they were after context.

This, exactly right there, would be absolutely perfect in my museum collection build log thread.    And lots of other threads too.

Well it sounds like the consensus is that it would be good to have. 

 

So with that said, you can now find an attachment list in any topic to the top right as indicated below. 

 

 

When opened, you will be presented with a list of attachments, you click in the indicated area below to be taken to the post the attachment is associated to

 

 

You can also view attachments in any topics from the topic list in any given forums by clicking on the paperclip as indicated below. 

 

 

Fingers crossed it will be useful for those super large library type threads

 

All the best,

E

I'm not even sure HOW you could change this, but I've seen a similar option on store front pages like ebay and newegg I believe.  Is there any way to change HOW MANY attachments show up per page?  Like say if there's 10 attachments per page (which is roughly what it looks like now), could we get a drop down menu to give more options?

I didn't even realize I had that many dang attachments in my thread.  Other very large image threads might also benefit from it too.  Just a small minor add on.   

Otherwise, feature seems to be implemented and working perfectly so far!  Thanks E!

10 per page is the default, I will up it to a more appropriate amount

 

However there is no drop down available in this version for now.

I figured.  10 is fine.  Probably safer for people with slower internet connections for sure.  Up to you, I just noticed wow.........25 pages of attachments.

I just checked, it has 275 Attachments at time of writing this. On another related note, I have adjusted it so each attachment page shows 20 attachments before needing to browse to the next page. This will keep page scrolling a little lower.

I think that'll work a lot better.  TY E!
