Hello,

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.

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

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...

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.?

Good work. Thanks for the quick update. Could you please also add whatsapp meta tag.
Click to expand...

You are welcome!

WhatsApp is using the same image as Facebook does, just it seems it is common to have problems with WhatsApp not showing the image due to its size and dimensions. We found in several places like https://stackoverflow.com/a/43154489 and http://webdevelopmentscripts.com/80-whatsapp-share-link-with-image-in-websites that you should keep the size of the image less than 150k and about 300x300 so that WhatsApp uses it. Try to test with such image and see if it works for you. Make sure to test with a new thread every time (instead of editing one) as WhatsApp may have a cache for a page and may not update the thumbnail even if you have edited it.

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

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

This code makes images bigger in excluded forums too.

In the latest versions of the product the template called "altt_thread_thumbnail.less" loads only if thread thumbnails are enabled for the current forum, so if you put the rules in that template it should not affect excluded forums.

Please let us know if the issue still persists.

Thank you!

Hello, @51463

Thank you for the suggestions.

Adding a widget is out of the scope of this product as it is not clear by which criteria these threads should appear. The product powers threads with thumbnails in general, each specialized add-on, e.g. portal add-on for build pages etc. can use this to show the thumbnails in their widgets.

IMG tags are already detected and used as thumbnail if there are no attachments.

Thank you!
 
the criteria by which these threads should appear is up to the administrator in settings:

Latest Replies, New Threads, Recent Threads, Most Viewed Threads, Most Replied Threads, Most Liked Threads, Polls
