In addition to uploading a featured thread icon image, can we also/instead put in a URL to the image (externally or own site). In case you want to use an image (uploaded or linked) already in the thread.

 

[Paul B]

That won't be an option.

I was originally going to do it like that but instead I decided to go this route.

Anyone know how to get this separation line separating the thread title from the thread content via CSS? Any help would be appreciated.

 

[Paul B]

Apply a bottom border to the thread title style property.

I cant get that "engraved" boarder look. I can get just a typical border line.

.ctaFtThreadContent {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #3E3E3E;
}

This isn't specific to this add-on or anyone in this thread but over the years I've seen many comments about how it should be "relatively simple" to add x feature.

Well I've just started updating Featured Threads to allow an icon to be uploaded in place of the avatar.
Bearing in mind I haven't started on the actual php code yet, this is everything I have done so far for the database, options, templates, phrases, style properties and admin templates.

Schema Changes

• icon_date

New Options

• Featured Thread Icon
  • Enable Icon
  • Width x Height

New Style Properties

• Blocks
  • Icon
• Page
  • Icon

Changed Style Properties

• Blocks

• Page
  • Enable Avatar – Updated to Enable Avatar / Icon

Next I have to write the actual code to make it all work.

So just bear that in mind the next time you request a "simple addition" for an add-on

.ctaFtThreadContent {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #3E3E3E;
}

Thanks for the help @Azhria Lilu - but its still just a line and its well below the thread title.

You need to adapt the colours to fit. The shadow sets the indent and depends on the background colour of your own site. Do you have a link handy to your site?

Seems simple enough..

Nice to see the continued development @Brogan , your effort does not go unnoticed.

Okay,

.ctaFtThreadTitle {
    border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
    box-shadow: 0px 1px 0px #3e3e3e;
}


a.ctaFtThreadTitleLink {
    text-decoration: none;
}

You'll have to play with the colours on the ThreadTitle part to get it right for your style.

Thanks @Azhria Lilu - i will play around to get it right.

I am trying to add a font awesome
<iclass="fa fa-comments-o fa-fw"></i> before the "read more..." text - any help on find where the proper template is to modify this? Like below.

 

[Sheldon]

<iclass=

Fix that.

I'd be more inclined to add it to the cta_ft_read_more language phrase instead of a style template.

cta_featuredthreads_list_item

Greater control adding it to individual templates.
