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.

This a fantastic idea

[gmptp]

Anyone know how to get the attachment to be display for the lastpost?

lastpostby <- I want to get the attachment (thumbnail) to be display on the lastpost, that's the issue, becos the lastpost thread id is not the same as the thumbnail id becos not all the thread has thumbnail, so the thumbnail or attachment id and the lastpost thread id is mismatching, how to fix anyone knows?

I'm very sure can be done, just that some minor modification on showthread.php on the load attachment or some php file to query the attachmentid for the lastpost to display the attachment for the lastpost, the present mod thumb thread is to display the attachment for the threadpost which is working, but what I want is to display the attachment for the lastpost, not the threadpost.

Anyone has any idea how to display attachment for the lastpost? I'm willing to offer usd$50 to be pay via paypal for the solution.

How do you get this to work with search results and topic tag pages?

[Powerlynx]

instead of having the icon on the left side of the thread list replaced with an image, can I keep that the way it is and have this thumbnail positioned in the middle of the thread in the index inbetween the thread starter info and the green subscription button? or to the Replies/Views column?
