Thread Thumbnail by AddonsLab [Paid] 3.0.0 Beta 1

[AddonsLab]

Purchased, installed and working OK.

We could do with removing the circle shape of the avatar, and increasing the avatar size to something meaningful.

Also, when the lightbox is turned on, it doesn't work for every thread?

We would avoid implementing any sizing on thumbnail simply because admins want different thumbnail size based on the design of their website. If you have problems increasing the size just post the URL to your website and we will provide some suggestion on how to set the size for your theme.

Lightbox appears only if the thumbnail is set based on an attachment and if the current user has permission to see the lightbox. We will release a version soon that will support lightbox on usual images as well (detected directly from post content).

Thank you!

OK thanks. Our forum is at www.28dayslater.co.uk

This rule should work:

.structItem-cell.structItem-cell--icon .threadThumbnailWrapper div.avatar,
.structItem-cell.structItem-cell--icon .threadThumbnailWrapper span.avatar {
    width: 80px;
    height: 100px;
}

Nice one, almost works (set at 60x60)...



Only works for attached images, not server-generated or user-uploaded avatars.

In fact it doesn't make sense at all. All these images are hosted on our CDN...

Installed on our forum and its working great as intended, only suggestion i could possible give is a option to choose which forums are included, as we would like to exclude a few forums, but for now its great.

Thanks again.

We will implement the feature soon and release here.

Although the larger avatars are turned of due to the inconsistency.

AddonsLab updated Thread Thumbnail by AddonsLab with a new update entry:

Enhanced automatic thumbnail configuration and other improvments

This version enhanced the interface for enabling/disabling automatic thumbnails. Now admins can choose to enable/disable automatic thumbnails board-wide, as well as decide in which forums to enable or disable:

@BobbyUgh , the issues you have reported are now fixed in the latest release. Please check.

@cjwinternet , in the latest version we have updated the layout a bit. Here is a CSS rule that at least for the default theme increases size of avatars for all cases:

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

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

Please try it out after applying the latest version (1.2.0). Just let us know if you still see any issue and we will try to assist with your custom theme as well.

Thank you!

Working great, thanks a lot!

You are welcome!

Just purchased, really enjoying the simplicity of it so far. I've got two feature requests for you to consider, with that said.

1. If the lightbox option is disabled, link the thumbnail to the thread instead. Currently if we're not using the lightbox option, the thumbnail doesn't do anything when clicked which (imo) is an unexpected behavior for the user.

2. Consider adding an additional option under 'Avatar on corner' for 'Latest Replier's Avatar' or similar. It's up to you if you see the worth of this functionality, I just personally think it may offer more to the user. The thread starter's avatar isn't that useful in my opinion, and this acts as a hybrid since it will automatically show the user's own avatar if they recently applied to the thread.

edit: I'm having these errors on all pages with a submit thread/reply dialogue.

[Error] Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) (ThumbnailSelector.js, line 0)
[Error] Did not load script at 'website.com/AL/ThreadThumbnail/ThumbnailSelector.js?_v=8d665926' because non script MIME types are not allowed when 'X-Content-Type: nosniff' is given.

Hello, @Yawn

Thank you for the suggestions, we will consider them both and implement them soon.

Regarding the error, I see the path to the script seems to be wrong in your case, it should be "js/AL/ThreadThumbnail/" and it seems to miss the "js" part. Please make sure you have uploaded the "js" folder you can find in the package to your board. If you keep seeing the error, please post the URL to your forums and we will have a look.

Thank you!

Well, that would do it.. There is no /js/ folder packaged with your add-on when downloading the latest version (ThreadThumbnail-1.2.0 - Full ZIP) from your website.

Thank you for the report. We have fixed this and re-uploaded the corrected package. Please download it again and re-upload the files to fix the issue.

Thank you!

Hi there, love your addon!

In my case the feature, where the first image in the thread (and replys) will be used automatically as thumbnail, only works if the image is in the thread. If the first image is in a reply, it doesn't work (the function that I really need).
It looks like it works for the other customers of your addon, but not for me, and ideas what i could have forgot?

ps: i don't have any errors and tested it without other addons

Thanks alot

Thank you for the feedback!

The product is designed to search for attachments and linked images in the first post only, as it is mentioned in the description of "Automatic Thumbnail" option. The reason to implement this so is to avoid large queries taking all thread posts and attachments, especially that in most of cases, based on our experience, "thread thumbnail" is considered an image to be attached/linked to the first post, instead of some unrelated reply later on. So most of admins would prefer not to have any automatic thumbnail if there is no image linked or attached to the first post at all. Please let us know your thoughts if you see any situations when this could be needed, and we will see how we can implement it.

Thank you!

Great support!

I'm imaging it as follows:
If the replies are included for the thumbnail search, it would be possible that other user could complete posts by adding a missing thumbnail, by simple posting an image under the thread. The big advantege would be that every user could do that (not only moderators - with the permission to edit the thumbnail directly - like it's working right now), therefore it would happen faster and moderators could do other, more important, stuff (or you need less moderators).
With that in mind, it would be great if you could consider to add an option, for setting a number, which limits the amount of replys which will be queried max to find an image for the thumbnail. If no image is found after that amount of replys, the query will stop. If this option is set to 0, only the thread will be searched for a thumbnail (no replies).

Thank you for the fast reply, this helpful addon and maybe you could consider implementing this feature.
