I use threadmarks on a XF1 forum. If I upgrade to XF2, can I use the old threadmarks data with the new Threadmarks Pro?
Yes, I've updated the product description to state this.
Some more things I found + wishlist:
- I saw that there's a nesting feature. I don't think I'd use it, but I cannot see how this would work. What's the purpose of nesting Threadmarks?
My user base write a lot of original (and fan) fiction, it is used as a sort of chapter titles and support grouping of chapters into "arcs".
- Did you include the TM index in thread previews on purpose? I'd prefer them without the TM index (XF Core standard).
Yes, as the idea is the TM Index is a high level description. I can make this a toggle fairly easily.
- A cool feature would be an option to show threadmarks always ordered chronologically and remove order options in that case when saving threadmarks.
This is relatively straight forward to remove the UI option for it. It actually defaults to chronological if you don't explicitly enter an option. A simple template modification to not load the after which threadmark and disable sorting would be doable. Sorting however allows you to fix a lot of potential issues with threadmarks on a thread as it rebuilds cache information. Probably making a user group permission would be easy enough.
But this would be a fairly low priority.
- Widget: An option to order the threadmarks by post date and also display post date instead of TM date would be cool.
Easy to add, it is just changing the sorting which the XF2 finder design makes easy.
- In reader mode not always the right TM category is preselected in the tabs (it seems always the default category with ID 1 is selected)
This may be a bit of a bug as a result of the default category 1 is 'special' in that it removes the ids and provides a simplied URL structure.
- I noticed: when you remove usergroup rights from a TM category, all threadmarks with this category cannot be edited/deleted anymore. Wouldn't it be better to just restrict adding them?
This is by design, as on XF1 I have a "staff threadmark" category which only staff can use/edit/delete and another add-on provides staff-only bbcode will always work on that post if a threadmark in that category is there. This is used as part of how we communicate to users various staff directives in a thread.
