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.
So if the URL doesn't specify a Thumbnail URL then automatically use the first one in their post? Interesting idea as well.
It's amazing what people can come up with that I never would have thought of.
And back on the thought of adding this to the RSS2 Feed, I actually have another mod I wrote (not posted, yet) that creates a Media RSS Feed using the thumbnail, which also allows your website to be enabled for cooliris. Think that is sufficient, or do you think I should still try to inject it into the RSS2 feed?
Or 1st attached thumbnail...
That feature is one that is offered in the mod "Article Forums".
I made all the edits and made the no thumbnail image and put it on the server, but now all the threads show the no thumbnail image, I go into thread and on first post I put the url IE: http://i44.tinypic.com/293zoz6.jpg and I save, but I still get the No thumbnail image , i edit again and it has nothing in the url field. So it appears the system is not saving the url I give it. Help Please!

Did you try removing the no thumbnail image? And then seeing if that would work? I'm using it without the thumbnail image and it works fine. I'm on 3.8.2 also.
I even tried using the code for newthread and still no good, the url is not being saved. I checked to see if it was because I was not owner of the thread and that was not the problem either. I'm running out of ideas of why it will not save the url info.
This is very important since there are 6,000 movies already posted I would like to show the Thumbnail for the movie.
Also Stickied Threads are not showing anything but the post icon.
Sure would be nice if I had the option to pull in the first attachment.??
Sorry I can't help you. My smilies don't show either, but I don't mind. I can edit an post and add a smilie but it doesn't save. But on my board i don't mind. But if I edit a post and add a url it works for me.
