Show Thread Enhancements - Ajax Thread (1stPost) Preview 1.5 Gold

I have abandoned this modification as I find myself lacking time to do any additional modifications to get it 100% stable.

I would highly recommend that you check out this hack by magnus, as this one seems to be 100% AND looks great. I fell in love with it so I am using it myself

The only thing it doesn't do is give you a preview of the attachments, so you're welcome to keep the attachments part of this hack and use it in conjunction with magnus' hack.

I may just rewrite the attachments part of this hack and re-release it as a standalone.

Thanks SkyCatcher!

I've just spent the last 9 hours redoing the Attachment Preview part ><

Version 1.5 should hold some nice changes for everyone and may possibly be the final version. Release date is still undetermined since I still have a few things that need to be worked out.

Here's a screenshot of the new v1.5 Attachment Preview to get you excited

When will this one be released? I like the fact that it just displays the images in the post and not everything else. Great hack btw.

The attachment preview seems to work 100% the way I want it to work, the post preview is such a pain in the butt because everyone's screen resolution is different and that really messes things up.

I'm expecting to be done with this in the next couple days but I don't want to rush the release because there have been a lot of changes and I'm retracing my steps so users can upgrade without any issues.

What's Changed in 1.5?
------------------------------

*New Design for the Attachment Previews
--- Now shows all the attachments in the entire thread
--- Collapsable Window
--- You can now close the window with an internal link in the category bar
--- Immages Previewed at 100x100 Pixels
--- Replaced 1 template with 2 new ones for the preview
--- Eliminated a class file

*Post Preview
--- Position seems to have stabilized
--- Size configurable as before (but independantly from the attachment window)
--- Preview template redone to reduce the size of the window
--- Text style changes to smalltext to save pixel space
--- Now utilizes a click on the arrow instead of the mouseover (seems to function better)

*General
--- Includes Template updates from RMS-Chef (thank you for that) to fix colspan issues
--- 2 Seperate funtions to allow size modification of the post preview and the attachment windows independantly
--- Limited the height and reduced the width. Will induce scollbars on the side but it seems to be the only way to keep the window stable and organized.



I'm working on a few additional features but I'm not sure if I know how to implement them so I hope to have everything squared away by the middle of the week.

FYI, I noticed today that the colspan issue also effects subscribed thread output in the UserCP display. I plan to find the edit later tonight and I will post it.

That should already be fixed in the UserCP template edit in the zip file up top

SkyCatcher think - Ajax Thread(1stPost) Preview 1.5 Gold should be without this:

Is in Beta stage

Thank's for update!
BTW maybe you will add navigation buttons for preview posts (not only first post) in threads as i tried to request here?

I haven't forgotten about it, just haven't had time to start looking through the code to see how hard it will be to do. I like the idea so it's definately not out the window, it's just a time issue for me right now
