That's something I would probably use myself so I may try and get that in the first release.

Get that ass of yours moving and get this completed. Is there such a thing as an add-on that's too good?

The expiry date is a good feature.

Really evolving into something nice.

Currently struggling with the datawriter stuff (and another bloody virus!).

As I said to Chris yesterday, it's like an annoying jigsaw without the pieces.
Only not quite as politely

That's superb.

Yes... there's definitely a word missing there...

For the edit function there is an additional field to not change the original feature duration, checked by default.



Oh and the disabler function is now working correctly, thanks for pointing that out @Mike

Would it be possible to add a random rotation capability from a specific board? That way threads from a particular board could be featured randomly, ideally with a specified rotation interval.

Brilliant

I've actually got that working now.
Well, the values are being saved to the database, I haven't got around to doing the logic for the template yet.

Slight tweak on the layout too to make it identical to default functionality.





Finally got the delete function working too, with a lot of help - I think @Chris Deeming has less hair left than I do now

Very interesting thread and very useful addon!

I agree. I think this thread should be featured. @Mike?

Paul, I think the fact that you continually test with a picture of "Challenge Accepted" in the background makes me want this more. So glad you are continually working on this.

 

[Paul B]

That actually came from Chris - I was originally using it to test the function to remove empty attach and img tags.

Now it's just there to spur me on

A little bonus addition:

 

[oman]

I'd pay for something like this. It's coming along nicely.

 

[Paul B]

Last little tweak (until the next one )





Now I really must get on with some more of the boring stuff.

 

[Paul B]

Woohoo!

I have finally cracked the permission matrix regarding feature own or all and whether the thread is visible, already featured, etc.

I had the thread tools working days ago but this was to actually disable the direct routes for those people who like to try and deliberately break stuff (you know who you are).

I promised myself if I didn't get it working by today I would shelve the project, so just made it with 40 minutes to spare

@Brogan - Just curious. Is there anything in thread_views appearance changed in anyway when threads are featured?

 

[Paul B]

Not yet...

Edit: To add, that was already on my To Do list, along with doing something in forum view.

Ah good, that is what I wanted to ask plus the forum_view but you got there first. Good good just what I like to hear and thought I'd ask anyway before suggesting some really whacky suggestions but you seem to have that all under control.

The styling isn't finished, I just threw some placeholder css in the template for testing, but this is where I'm planning to place the badges in the thread list:


And the thread view:


There will more than likely be separate style properties for each, so people can style them as they wish.
