Requirements:

  To check if your server has ImageMagick, do the following:
  
  Admin CP -> Options -> Attachments -> Default Image Processor
  
  You should be able to select "ImageMagick PECL Extension". If you cannot select this, you will need to contact your web host provider and ask them to install ImageMagick with PECL.

Installation:

1. Download headerthumbs_v1.7.zip and unzip it.
2. Upload the Andy folder to your server. The correct location is library/Andy.
3. From your Admin Control Panel, go to the "Install Add-on" page.
4. Upload the addon-HeaderThumbs_v1.7.xml file
5. Click the Install Add-on button.

Image and text file preparation:

Create a folder in your document root called /misc/ and set permissions to 777.

Example:

http://www.domain.com/misc/

In the /misc/ folder, create six files and chmod each one to 777. The file names need to be:

headerthumbs0.jpg
headerthumbs0.txt
headerthumbs1.jpg
headerthumbs1.txt
headerthumbs2.jpg
headerthumbs2.txt

Forum preparation:

Normally you will have one particular forum you will want to draw images from, for example a "Pictures" forum. Be sure to get the forum ID of the forum you want to draw pictures from and enter the number into the Header Thumbs Options page.

Note if you're creating a new forum for pictures, you will want to create a thread with a minimum of three picture attachments. Make sure each picture has a file name that ends in .jpg and that each image is larger than 400px height.
