Suggestion: use image of embedded media for portal, if no other inline image is available.
No. We have a lot of articles which use youtube videos instead of inline images or attachments.
Youtube provides you automatically with a fallback image (eg no flash), which could be used as article image for oxy news. See for example http://www.reelseo.com/youtube-thumbnail-image/
It would be great to show this image instead of nothing.
Do you have screen please ?New version 1.12h has been uploaded, with the following changes:
- Fixed articles not loading when "Show Articles That Only Contain Images" is checked and there are articles without images in the forums being pulled.
- Fixed "ATTACH", "MEDIA" and "IMG" tags showing in article snippets.
- NEW: (Experimental Feature) Added Option to fallback to Media Thumbnails (currently only Youtube) when no Image found.
I will have to discuss with Oxy to see how far they have got with the next "feature" release.
I have been working on bug fix/optimisation releases, but do plan to add some features (as noted above) in future releases.
Hi @alexp999,
Thanks so much for taking care of this addon. Can you please make it so images that load are smaller versions of the original images. My members upload 3 - 5 megabyte images, so loading takes a really long time. If each image was cut down to like 50 - 100kb it would be much better.
Also, can you please post your paypal. I would like to donate some money since you are moving this addon forward.
Thanks.
Do you have screen please ?
YesA screen of the new media thumbnail feature?
News ?Oxy is preparing an option to use the thumbnails instead of full size images, but for me personally I need something bigger than the XF attachment thumbnail, but smaller than the whole image.
News ?
Thanks for all your work on this @alexp999. This addon has so much potential and its great that a member of the community has stood up to assist with the mod when the developer has gone missing and stopped bothering to even update the purchasers of the mod on anything.Hi everyone,
Just thought I would post a weekly update as to where things are. I was on holiday the end of last week and weekend, so I will have more time to work on this add-on this week. I have also spoken to Oxy and checked out the latest dev version. There is a featured slider in the works which is looking really promising, and also some different layouts to choose from.
The image resizer is turning out to be a fair bit of work to get it working robustly and without compromising the performance tweaks I have made so far, I would have liked it ready for you by now, but I have to fit the work on this add-on round a full time job so please bear with me I want it just as much for my own site, so don't think it is on the back burner.
Cheers.
