Improved Thread Preview 1.5: 6 template mods, 1 plugin, 2 new javascripts files (to clientscript folder)

Nice hack, but you should use the OVERLIB library for this, as it's much more customizable and sophisticated ;)

How do I change the tcats to theads? I couldn't do it via the templates...
Apart from that exellent hack! :)

You can change that in the tcthreadpreview_main.js in line 7..

You can change several things about style editing the variables in lines 7 to 14 ;)

That worked :) Thanks a lot!

great to see this has made it's way over :)

How can I make this work for the vbadvanced block as well? I can't find a pattern to the template changes to apply it on the block's template...

I wouldn't be so fast to use overlib on an active forum. Last check it was about 32k or so in filesize. too big.

I think this one is only 17kb or so and has lots of functionality.

Yea that one's cool :)

Can I configure it so that ALL the tooltips of my page are like these?

Thanks, Great mod! :)

Just one suggestion, fix the instructions at the template edits...the <script> tags and <div> tags in some places are capatalized when they shouldn't be...proper xhtml. :P

tcat - thanks for this. i suggest just cutting and pasting the description of this hack from your other thread so others don't have to click on the link. it seems short enough.

nice addition, but WAY too many template edits for me...dont like editing too many.....

Hi

## Template threadbit

Find:
<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]">

Replace with:

<td class="alt1" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]">

That title="$thread[preview]" is the default vb preview.

I have just searched that template for the word preview and only your hack modifications show up...

The default text has been changed to yours...
Here is my threadbit

Yes i did miss it well sort of lol

This is what i had done, took me a while to figure it out mind as mine was slightly different to the code to change...

Code:

        <!-- TCattitude's improved thread preview -->

        <td class="alt1Active" id="td_title_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]" onmouseover="this.className='alt2Active'" onmouseout="this.className='alt1Active'">

<!-- / TCattitude's improved thread preview -->

This works 100% and is prob one of the best hacks i have installed
and beleive me, i have 209 installed pmsl....

Well done TC.... will look forward to more of your work in the future :)

I am getting an error. It seems there is a javascript error Text not defined.
I only see it on some IE machines on xp.

Belive it or not. firefox other IE it works fine. I found 22 errors and there was 22 topics showing it was the Text element... not defined... or sometimes I get expecting Object... you know IE it doesnt specify exactly just line 2.

I just got a request from a couple of guys on my board.

Is it possible to put a bit of a delay on when the preview shows up?

yeah even a 1 second delay so its not instant, i know what thats like even tho i have not installed this yet.

Also is this working fine with no problems for 3.5.4 and does it install good.

Thanks

Awesome Dude!
Thanks!:up:

Any chance to include attachment thumbnail preview in the popup ? :D :D

Great hack, thanks

Okay I installed this mod and uninstalled it afterwards.
Heres what I found.

First off the MOD display's (some) thread previews using popup technology under firefox. So members are asking wth happened to the thread preview function.

Secondly it only display's plain text threads, if there is formating of html display it doesn't show anything. (no preview)

It's a great idea, but CSS would do a better job of producing the preview avoiding the popup route. And I also think it would be possible to get an html redered view or thumbnail in there.

Nice idea but far from useful on my board.

Does this display images too or just text ?

After installing this, I also would like to have a slight delay. It would also be nice to just turn on this preview when in Firefox (or not IE) where the native browser preview doesn't work.

But overall, this is fabulous!:banana:

in 3.5.4 worl fine..

Sugestion:Preview image with on the fly RESIZE :)

Little tip for this mod that I just discovered:
The place for the <script> tag in threadbit (at the top) is not valid xhtml, if you are trying to make this valid put it between some <td> and </td> tags (don't make new ones, just paste it somewhere else in the threadbit template).

Hi

I'm using Firefox v1.5.0.3 and almost every page I visit gives me errors that show in the 'JavaScript Console':

Error: Error in parsing value for property 'top'. Declaration dropped.

How can i fix it, please?

Regards, Stoebi

Edit:
solved

ok i have the hide hack resurrection installed and with your thread preview the users can see the hidden content between the tags, i posted in the HHR thread but he told me to come here. Below is his response

my question is can you do this or is this hack dead to any new versions? im sure a lot of users that use this are having the same problem and would maybe like this updated for the HHR users?

Thanks
CF

I sure hope you are planning on porting/test this on 3.6!
Its a great hack! Have you added a configurable sligt delay as some of us have asked?

Thanks!
Barry

What code would you put in the plugin so that the preview strips all the code replacements for items such as &, < , > or ""? As it stands now the preview shows these as & amp ; & lt ;, etc. (without the spaces). Also, any idea how to include a url or image tag so that the url or image is displayed?

Thanks,
Parker

i would really like this for 3.6 can anyone confirm it works if not can this be ported please?
