CTA Featured Threads & Portal [Paid] 2.17.0

As I said earlier, I am more than happy to make changes to accommodate the WF add-on, but I won't do so if it creates a dependency.
For example, if this or the WF add-on is upgraded which would cause the functionality to stop working, then that is a dependency.
In addition to that, where do you stop?
One person asks for WF functionality so that is added.
What if others then ask for functionality related to other add-ons?

I read it clearly and as I said, bbcode is just too much work if your posts include multiple pics. And want to give your homepage a media rich homepage look.
Maybe XF can append the full URL to the attachments so they can be used.
Maybe xf or addons can tap into the attachment manager and select an image to use, much like the wp media library.
I'm no coder so I don't understand the dynamics of that. Hopefully there's an easier workaround for a future release to make customizing the portal easier.
Icon uploads now work. No idea why they didn't first, but they work fine now.
That's something I'd like to see using a previously uploaded image too.
I'm all about the easy way if ya can't tell!
It's a great addon that will be amazing once xf core permits us to pull images and access attachment manager so as to prevent us from performing repetitive tasks.

I have already said that parsing attachment is on the to do list for the next release.
As for using attachments from the first post for the icon, that has already been suggested.
It is a lot of work (getting the attachments, creating a completely new user interface to view and select them, dealing with deleted attachments after a thread has been featured, etc.) for very little gain though and there are more important features which I want to work on.

I think this would be useful, also.
Some members get fed up of seeing the same featured thread more than a very small number of times.
Implement this and they can remove them from view altogether: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/cta-featured-threads-user-preferences.2834/
That was written a while ago though so it's likely the code has changed, but the concept is the same.

That's one option, but I think it's a much better and simpler option for the user to be able to dismiss the featured threads individually. And at least then we know they have seen them.

There is only one portal page and it lists all currently featured threads for which the viewing user has permission to see.
Yes, the page is automatically paginated once the number of featured threads exceeds the per page setting in the options.

When I use this option it adds the links fine. How do I change the links that are displayed; is it a template edit or controlled somewhere else?
I had it pointed out to me today (after a month) that the links are different between my Home & Forums menus and I'd like to make them consistent.

Would it be possible to offer more control over what featured thread is displayed on the forum home.
As it stands just now, I have featured threads for every forum room. I am running a competition just now and it would be great to display that exclusively on the forum home until the competition ends.
Perhaps an option could be added to specify exact threads which are displayed on the forum home. If no threads are specified, random featured threads could be displayed.

I can't see the options relating to that changing.
It is already possible to show them in own, own + parent and all forums, as well as stick the most recently featured thread.
Just edit the Style Properties to match your style.
Every single individual element can be adjusted via SPs.
