New Posting Features - Thread Thumbnails

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.

It works perfectly for me on 3.8.5 (I have not updated to the latest release though!)
What I want to know is, what does this mean?

Default Thumbnail Option Combo

Thanks!!

EDIT: I upgraded to Version 2.2 and it works fine. I really just wish that it was possible to have it show the thumbnail for image and attachment. So if there was only images then it will show the thumbnail, or if there were attachments it will also show the thumbnail. In other words a combo!

Hi,
Thanks for this mod, I have few suggestions to make it better:
1. Additional column instead of replacing Thread Icon.
2. group permission to use the feature, like I need only admins & mods to be able to specify thread thumbnails.

Thanks,,

why no any replay from the coder

Hi. This Mod work in all version (Also 3.8.6) and You must Selcted in a Option For:

- URL Source
- Attach
- First Image of Post

Perhaps unfortunately, is that the choice of "First image of the Post" that
can be deceiving ...

If in fact be selected under precisely this option, then putting
General Options in the Mod in question IDs of the various forums
Chosen at first glance we see that does not work.

And this is wrong ...

Seeing the list of threads because there is no
image ... but if we change the various posts (only modified
by the button "edit" and then save that here ).... whoil? ...
the preview image appears next to the post you want.

Unfortunately this mod is basically in conflict with the icon of the discussion .... In fact if we have several posts that have the icon of the debate is not just vadiamo anything .... if we modify the message and
then returns you to the list of threads here that appear to
the image of the preview that we wanted. basically we should not use
icons of the discussion if we want to use this mod. or saved
icon and then not preview image of thread
.. or do not save the message with the icon of the discussion and
so we'll see the image preview. or we need to do the double passage
would select precisely the question icon, save, and then return
in the message, re-select "edit", save again, and so we
icon of debate and the image preview.

I do not know if I was clear ..

for the other options (Link and attach) are working properly
