Description:
Use the New Threads widget as an article preview with some extra customization. This add-on extends the New threads widget to display threads in a more attractive way, to show them as featured threads or in any other way you might want to use.

Check the FAQ tab on how to set it all up.

This add-on is very similar to [cXF] Enhanced Search Forum Widget (screenshots below are the same).

A simple demo of thread blocks is available on our forum.

Features:

show threads from the New threads widget as article preview blocks
option to view thread blocks in a scroll container
set the number of thread blocks in a row
show or hide post snippet
set snippet length
option to set the image aspect ratio (4/3 or 16/9)
set a custom image for threads with no image in the first post
show or hide View full article link
show or hide thread block footer
options to show thread blocks on narrow screens (mobile)
two style configurations in style properties for enhanced widgets
set up to 3 widgets for each style

All settings for this add-on are in style properties.

Screenshots:

You can see 2 different settings. The left one is without an image in the first thread post (it picks up the forum logo, XenForo in this demo). The right one is also without an image in the first thread post, but it has a custom icon (threads with the cXF logo).
