Thread Thumbnail by AddonsLab

Thread Thumbnail by AddonsLab [Paid] 3.0.0 Beta 1

No permission to buy ($29.99)
Hello, @apsmith21

The product replaces XenForo's default icon (which is the avatar of a user) with a thumbnail, without any size changes, as the size of the image itself basically depends on the theme you are using and what is the size of user avatars in your theme. We have discussed this with other users in this thread, and here are some CSS rules that should work for changing avatar/thumbnail width and height:
CSS:
div[data-type=thread] .structItem-cell.structItem-cell--icon {
    width: 90px;
}

div[data-type=thread] .structItem-iconContainer .threadThumbnailWrapper .avatar {
    width: 74px;
    height: 100px;
}

And the following rules would do the same but for sticky threads only:

CSS:
div[data-type=thread] .structItemContainer-group--sticky .structItem-cell.structItem-cell--icon {
    width: 90px;
}

div[data-type=thread] .structItemContainer-group--sticky .structItem-iconContainer .threadThumbnailWrapper .avatar {
    width: 74px;
    height: 100px;
}

Feel free to experiment with numbers to get the best look for your specific case.

Thank you!
 
The addon does not respect xenforo proxy image settings which causes the site to give unsecure site warnings if images from unsecure sites are used.

Bug-fix: the product does not respect image proxy settings

This is a bug-fix release that solves product compatibility issue with image proxy setting. From now on if image proxy is enabled the automatically detected thumbnail will use proxy instead of direct URL solving the SSL error and other related issues.

The new version is available for all licensed customers at

Bug-fix: thread thumbnails use proxy.php for internal URLs

Hello everyone,

here is a bug-fix version that solves proxy image bug when the images are linked from site's own domain. Now the product will not pass these URLs via proxy.php and will use them directly.

I only have this add-on enabled for 1 forum and auto thumbnail enable this one forum too. I added the css code in the FAQ to make the thread thumbs bigger but it effect all forums. And ideas?

I seemed to have fixed it.

I created my own template called ad_thumbs.less

Copy and pasted the css from the FAQ to make the thread thumbnails bigger. (I customized the thumbs sizes to my liking)

Then in the forum_view template added this conditional.

<xf:if is="$forum.node_id == 11">
<xf:css src="ad_thumbs.less" />
</xf:if>

11 is the forum ID where I only want this css to work.
 
Hello, @PASS

Your solution is completely correct. In the next release we will include a template that loads only when thumbnails load, so that you can customize it directly and don't need to edit forum_view template.

Thank you!

Media thumbnail detection support

In this version, we have implemented support for auto-detection of thumbnails based on embedded videos using MEDIA BB Code tag. For now only YoutTube, Vimeo and Dailymotion are supported. The support for other media websites will be implemented if requested.

The version also has a LESS template - altt_thread_thumbnail.less loaded only in forums where thumbnails are enabled in general. You can use this template to customize the look of thread list (e.g. make thumbnails bigger) without...

Means we can define different thumbnails size for different forum sections ?
 
AddonsLab updated Thread Thumbnail by AddonsLab with a new update entry:

Thumbnail detection based on embedded media

In this version, we have implemented detection of thread thumbnails from media embedded in the post. Supported media providers are Youtube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Liveleak and Flickr.
If a thread does not have manually selected attachment as a thumbnail, its first attachment is used. If the thread does not have any attachments, images embedded in the posts are checked first and only if no images are found, media tags are checked.

Can someone please elaborate the following;
Question: Is it possible to show thread thumbnails on locations other than forum view, for example widgets?
Answer: Yes, it is possible and easy to implement. By default, we don't show the thumbnails on lists when we see the thumbnail information is not loaded from the database, as it would cause one or two additional queries per thumbnail. We enhanced forum view page to pre-load all thumbnails at once without causing additional queries. To make thumbnails appear on custom lists and widgets the developer needs to call a method to load threads with their thumbnail information, using method $threadFinder->forFullView() if they did not do so already. It is quite a simple change and any XenForo 2.x developer should be able to do it easily in their add-on/widget. Once the method is called it will ensure the finder loads thread thumbnails along with thread information. Once the information is available, you can load the thumbnail including the template <xf:include template="altt_thumbnail"/> Please note, that the template assumes there is a $thread variable available in the scope which is an instance of \XF\Entity\Threadclass.

Little more hint will help us to display thumbnails on external pages. So far we are able to display threads with title, thread time/date, number of replies, last post user id, thread starter user id but failed to workout how to fetch thumbnail using this addon.
We used the following method $this->threadModel = XenForo_Model::create('XenForo_Model_Thread');

Hi,

We have a minor error, trying to change the thumbnail image to another image doesn't work if you go into the post to edit it. Neither boxes are checked and it doesn't remember which one I checked when I go in again:

Going in via the forum pages works though...

How can we display first thumbnail as post thumbnail to share links on social media such as facebook, twitter, whatsapp etc.?
