This accomplishes what I wanted, but has a few issues.
I understand the design reasoning, but on my forum, I need to make a couple of things happen.
1. In the group forum thread tab, images are shown much smaller than they normally would be in a regular forum post. This behavior applies to guests and members who have not joined the group. I need the images to display at normal size regardless of the status of the person viewing them. How to make this happen?
2. If someone is a visitor/guest or not a member of the group and they click on a photo--they are sent to an Oops! page (spawned as a new window). There is no linking to bring the person back to join the forum in the Group information tab. It is ugly and frustrating...
Rather, I would like to make this behavior stop in the least (no action) or more elegantly, take the viewer to the gallery info tab and the join button.
So then, what code can I modify or comment out to make the images full-size, and stop sending people to an error page?
Suggestions, solutions, or as last resort--point me to the plugin PHP file(s) that handle this.
Thank you in advance for help with this!
