Thread Thumbnails
-------------------------------------- Created By: Null Parameter This mod is officially tested with 3.8.1, but has been reported to work with many other versions. Please leave any comments, suggestions or bugs. Description This mod allows a user, when creating or editing a thread, to specify a Thumbnail image to be used for display next to the thread in the Thread Listing. With this mod you can define a set of forums that have thumbnails enabled, then in those forums whenever a user creates or edits their thread they can change their thumbnail, based on the method that you choose to allow. This image is then shown in the Forum Display, in place of the Thread Icon. The image also appears in Search & Tag Search, and I can add it to the regular Search if somebody requests it. And possibly have options for displaying in each area. Forum Display: Attachment 105596 Search: Attachment 105597 ACP Options: Attachment 105595 Installation Install the Product XML File. That's it! All Template Edits Are Now Automatic. If you are Upgrading from the older version, see directions in the README file on how to undo the template edits. Demo Possible Future Features (With Request)

I installed it, and I do have it in the AdminCP. I set it to one of my forums but when I create a thread there, I dont see anything to choose an Image instead of Icon for the thread. There is no change to my Theme (not standard!) done.
I thought templates get edited automatically ? My vB Version is 3.8.2 btw. No members have liked this post.

There might be a possibility if your style isn't standard that the auto-edits might not work, although they have worked with my styles. I can write up directions on how to manually edit it in, if you would like.

Actually, it looks like the initial Create Thread isn't working correctly, sorry about that. (I haven't used it in a while because I use a custom form to submit threads.)
I'll get a fix in for that right away. In the mean time, if you edit the first post of the thread, there should be an option for the thumbnail though. No members have liked this post.

No, i donīt see anything where I could that, no matter if I create a thread or re-edit it. So i guess the template edits arenīt done.
What do I have to change, and where, to check if the template edits are done ? No members have liked this post.

Sorry, I uploaded a bad version of the product. I made some changes on my version but forgot to export them down.
As of now, I'll add a guide to the first post on how to manually update the templates, because I don't think the auto is working. No members have liked this post.

Okay, everything should be fixed in the product file now. New thread should work, but for now you will have to do all of the template edits yourself, which are also now listed. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I'll be working on the auto-edits in the near future. No members have liked this post.

Could you maybe then give me all the details for the template changes ? Is it a lot changes ? Because i think if it is, it will keep many people from using the Mod, usually Mods do automatic template edits as far as I have seen.
Update: LOL, now i see the edits above. Sorry ![]() No members have liked this post.

I did all the edits and it works now.
![]() The only thing I see which might be a problem for users is that the Image can only be added as URL. Not anyone likes to offer Imagehosting on his Webspace and Image hosting Services out there often donīt like direct links to images but rather use their image code. And in the long run, those images will be gone because Imagehosters donīt store images for life. Using the attachment function for that might not be the nicest but it would make it easier for people to find a place to direct upload their images instead of first searching for a Public imagehosting site with direct links allowed. Might be thinking about offering both, direct URLs like it is now, and also using a attached image in the thread. How about that ? No members have liked this post.

What kind of options do you think should accompany it? Quick draft of my thoughts:

Would it be possible that the attached image, when used for that, would only show in the Thread Thumbnail and not also attached below or in the posting ?

Well, I'm assuming that if there isn't a URL or Attachment then it would show the no thumbnail image. But for the Admin CP options, they can choose to allow thumbnails from one of those 3.
So if an admin only wants to allow thumbnails from Attachments or only from a URL, then they can do that. No members have liked this post.
