Optionally Show thread preview explicitly on forumdisplay

[amykhar]

This one gives your users the opportunity to see the thread preview directly on the page beneath the thread title - without having to rely on the mouseover.

It's a pretty easy install and comes in handy if you are a busy admin who needs to skim your board quickly.

Nice mod thanks for sharing it, i just tried it on my forums and it doesnt work, maybe i did something wrong though, dont believe so

[Kirk Y]

Yeah... it's not working for me either.

I could not get it to work either, first attempt at a mode so I'll try agian, could be my error.

One person unable to install is probably just an accident... two people is just a coincidence... three, I'd say this hack doesn't work.

[amykhar]

Yes, it does work. In fact, it still works for 3.5 :)

Make sure you are creating the profile field correctly and that you are checking the correct profile field in your conditional.

Amy- I love all of your hacks, but I am sad to report that this one doesn't work for me either. I double-checked the profile fields in phpMyadmin, and changed the edits to reflect them, and then put the code in threadbit template as you indicated, but still no preview. Perhaps you left out a step?

[amykhar]

I don't think so. When I installed it on 3.5, I worked fresh from these directions. (I have uninstalled it now because the thread previews messed up my forum layout and I didn't want to play with it at the time.)

The preview text is something that's already in the template. The conditional just changes where it's shown.

ALL you need is to add the '$thread[preview]' tag to the threadbit template where you want to display the preview. Problem I am having tho is images display as looong urls and distort the tables :(
