Display a youtube thumbnail inside the latest posts

[emilan]

Hi,

I am testing your online demo.

Is it possible to display by default a thumbnail of a video in the latest posts on the sidebar, a Youtube video for example. I don't see the option in the admin panel.

Regards

You could use this. Any further questions just ask in that thread.

I mean at the place you see on the included screenshot.

Is it possible by using a Youtube BBcode?

I suppose that the answer is no.

It would require an add-on/custom development.

Thank you very much for your answer, which is clear. I am using another forum system but I will probably buy an XF license only to use your Media Gallery.

Last question : Can we restrict access (to reduce bandwidth) to this gallery by using the user groups or conditionals on the templates?

The built in permissions system can be used to restrict areas of the site to different user groups, logged in/logged out visitors.

The answers are all in the thread I referred you too.
Yes, in the widget. Yes, YouTube.

Threads make more sense than Posts widget but there's probably a way.

You should ask in that thread, the author will respond and you will know if it's for you or not.

They are not licensed so can't post in the customer forums.

If you buy XF there's a free demo version of that add-on.

Hi beerforo,

I think you are wrong again. I know the difference between a Thread thumbnail inside a forumlist beside the thread and a thumbnail posted inside the sidebar of the most recent posts. I use both on my own forum system which I will not name.

Please point me to a forum in Forum showcase and reviews that embeds a thumbnail inside the sidebar and I will purchase a license within 30 minutes and get back to you in the topic.

Regards

It works with the New Threads widget, I linked to that announcement. Any further questions please address @AddonsLab.
