Thread Thumbnail by AddonsLab [Paid] 3.0.0 Beta 1

[El Porcharo]

Well... the add-on code it's quite confusing, you should admit that.
On a clean written HTML/PHP code with proper CSS classes, anyone that has a bit of knowledge should be able to bring custom modification. That's what extra.less and Custom CSS sections on every CMS platforms on Earth are meant for.
But this is not the case of Thread Thumbnails by AddonsLab. Just compare XenForo code with this add-on code to see the difference.

I realized it myself while trying to help @beerForo to customize his forum's thumbnail appearance. And no, it's not custom style's fault because he's using a theme which is not much more than a "change colors to default XF style" thing. All of it's style structure is quite the same as the default style, in fact I was trying my custom CSS on my default test XF installation, which was facing the exact same issues.

Usually a clean code is required when you work with a team, so any member of the team would be able to edit the code while knowing what is doing. Probably your code is not so clean because you work alone, therefore you are the only one that has to do with your own code, who knows...

But you should listen to your customers problems and suggestions, because this is not TripAdvisor, it's a discussion thread where people give you practical feedback about your product! Keep that in mind

I would not agree with it. You are clearly not someone with "a bit of knowledge" (at least you seem to claim so), and yet you suggest that a problem can be fixed with putting this CSS code in extra.less:

.iconic { width: 35%!IMPORTANT;}

The code suggests using a very generic class, that is used everywhere where there is an icon, so it's likely a lot of icons will be broken with such a rule. Applying fixed width to it and with "!important" making it hard for other rules to override your rules. With this code you can easily break a lot of stuff on the best and cleanest HTML/CSS or on every CMS platforms on Earth as you put it.

But you should listen to your customers problems and suggestions, because this is not TripAdvisor, it's a discussion thread where people give you practical feedback about your product! Keep that in mind

I have heard my customers, their problems and suggestions since the first day XenForo community exists (as AddonsLab account or part of other companies), and many years before that for vBulletin and other platforms, so your suggestion to keep it in my mind is quite ignorant, and I would like you to avoid such sentences in the future. "Pretty bad code" and similar sentences are neither problem nor suggestion. And as you mentioned yourself, practical feedback is indeed part of normal discussion, and your feedback is far from being practical. Simply, if you get an issue feel free to report, especially via Support ticket as it's easy to miss replies in discussion thread, and if you don't do so, you should refrain from simplistic and unfunded negative feedback about someone's work.

Thank you again

Is it possible to remove the has-thumbnail class for those structItem DIVs that doesn't actually have thumbnail, as the Default Thumbnail is not set?

I thought I would never need this, but today I had a style update that broke the position of the structItem-cell--main DIV with thread title and details.
has-thumbnail shouldn't stay there when actually the thumbnail is not set, while the author avatar is shown instead. This would allow to add custom CSS that will only affect threads with a thumbnail.

Thank you

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

Thread item CSS class names according to thumbnail type.

Currently, any thread which is in a forum where thumbnails are enabled, has CSS class has-thumbnail. However this does not actually reflect if a particular thread has a thumbnail or not. With this release, we jave added additional css classes has-thumbnail--real (thread has a thumbnail based on attachment/media/image found in it), has-thumbnail--default (thread has the default thumbnail defined in the admin panel) or...

has-thumbnail represents if thumbnails are enabled on forum of the thread, based on request from a customer at the time. We have added additional CSS classes to represent if a particular thread has a thumbnail or no. The changes are released here.

Thank you!

Is this meant to be without a blank space or is it a mistyping?

Just figured out that is a mistyping.

It broke some of my style options and messed up the sticky threads... I've spent the last 3 hours looking for what happened when I finally realized that it is due to this....

Thank you!

Sorry for the trouble, that is indeed a typo with missing a space in the template modification. Releasing the fix asap.

Thank you!

How is this compared with [Xenbros] Auto Thread Thumbnail? They seem to do similar things.

1) Is there an option to set the dimensions of the thumbnails? Currently it's around shape. I would like to see rectangular thumbnails.

2) Currently the thumbnail is not an image with reduced size but instead it's just an original image with smaller dimensions set. It will load slowly if most images are big.

Is there any chance to exclude the thumbnail in data-template="forum_list" only?

I see we only have an option to set "forum view only", but this would exclude "what's new" and so on...

Forum view only option would enable thread thumbnail only on forum view, and disable on all other locations. As I understand, you need the opposite of it, to disable thumbnails on forum view but keep them on all other locations. We don't have such option for now, but we may implement it in the next update.

Thank you!

Not really, I mean the Xenforo home page, where you can see the list of all nodes.

Every nodes shows the latest thread in the right side, along with the user avatar.
Also the "latest threads" widget shoes user avatars.

And when these threads comes with a thumbnail, it is shown instead of the avatar.

I want to restore the user avatar in these two positions (in the node list page), because my thumbnail are rectangular while the avatars are circular and you can't see the image inside since it is all very small circles.


But I could also use custom CSS if there is a way to do address those avatar placeholder

I see, I guess the best would be having an option where you can list template names where the add-on would be inactive. This option would be checked before making the template modification, so the original HTML and CSS remain intact if the thumbnails are disabled.

We will let you know once the feature is implemented.

Thank you!

I notice the thumbs don't work correctly in the XF enhanced search Similar thread widget, the thumbs can be set/reset from there but don't stick.

Is this a bug or are they not intended to work there? either way, can it be fixed so they do work there?
