@ slipkot: search in template "ewt_forumdisplay_threaddesc"

<span class="lable" style="color:gray; font-size:12px; font-style:italic"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/strela_w.gif" border="0" alt="">{vb:raw thread.threaddesc}</span><br>

You can add "align" value to control the image location, it's BASIC HTML. My advice: Learn HTML (at least) before having a forum.

After

border="0"

Add this

valign="center"

Or you can try

valign="bottom"

Do a research to find some other values.

If you wanna the description show on SHOWTHREAD, please Edit SHOWTHREAD template. Put:

{vb:raw thread.thread_description}

To anywhere you want. I don't know where you want, so do it yourself

[Mikevet1984]

<span class="lable" style="color:gray; font-size:12px; font-style:italic"><img class="inlineimg" src="images/strela_w.gif" border="0" alt="">{vb:raw thread.threaddesc}</span><br>

I find no such phrase in the "ewt_newpost_threaddesc" template.

Have I done sth wrong?

To fix this problem an idea would be to change the Thumbnail Location after threadicon.

Go to the settings of the thread thumbnails modification in the control panel of your forum and you will find this option there. If you do this everything would be fine as all text will start next to the image from the same vertical position.

This was just an idea....

In the case that sb wants to keep the images before thread icons I guess sb must provide a new html script to change in the appropriate templates so as the position of the text to appear correctly.

About how to make the description show on SHOWTHREAD, I've answer.

About how to display the description editing when you edit a thread, it's a bit complicated, so until now, I have the answer for it.

@ tieuquynhi: Update th?m phần chỉnh Description khi Edit Thread cho tiện nh?

===================================

In "threadadmin_editthread", find:

				&nbsp;<img id="display_posticon" class="inlineimg" src="{vb:raw selectedicon.src}" alt="{vb:raw selectedicon.alt}" />
			</div>

Add Below:

			{vb:raw editthreaddesc}

And now creat some new plugins (AdminCP -> Add New Plugin). Choose "Product" of All Plugins: EWT - Thread Description

1. Thread Description - Edit Thread [Template Alteration]
Hook Location: threadmanage_start

$templater = vB_Template::create('ewt_editpost_threaddesc');
$templater->register('threaddesc', $threaddesc);
$editthreaddesc .= $templater->render();
vB_Template::preRegister('threadadmin_editthread',array('editthreaddesc' => $editthreaddesc));

2. Thread Description: Edit Thread Description Update
Hook Location: threadmanage_update

$threadman->set('threaddesc', $edit['threaddesc']);

3. Thread Description: Edit Thread Variable Prep
Hook Location: threadmanage_update
Execution Order: 4 (Only needed if you cannot update your description)

$vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'threaddesc', TYPE_STR);
$edit['threaddesc'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['threaddesc'];
$edit['threaddesc'] = unhtmlspecialchars($edit['threaddesc']);

4. Thread Description: Variable For Edit Thread
Hook Location: threadmanage_start
Execution Order: 4 (Recommended. To make sure your existing description will be displayed in Text Box)

$threaddesc = $threadinfo['threaddesc'];

Done.


Finally, please do carefully before asking questions

Man, I found the solution to your problem!

You have to increase the ''Dimensions of the Threadbit Status Icon''

This option is in your templates stylevars - - -> Threadbit - - -> Threadbit iconsize.

Remember, to put the thumbnail before the thread icon!

I tested this to my forum and it worked.

Try it and it may work for you, too!

Can anybody else please do that if possible?

threadadmin_editthread is a template. Edit it like you edited "editpost", "newthread" and "threadbit".

And in step Add New Plugin, go to AdminCP, choose "Add New Plugin". If you can't find it, choose "Explain All" at the Top of the Left Frame, and search "Add New Plugin" -> Click.

A new page will be displayed in the Right Frame, choose settings like the guide, paste the Code, and Remember choose "Plugin is Active" is "Yes" to make the new plugin works.

If you forgot choose Active the Plugin, go to "Plugin Manager", search for Plugin Name (like Plugin Name in the Guide), click it to Edit, and choose "Yes" in "Plugin is Active" option.
