Hooray! I was approved!

I was able to download and get it set up in my ACP, including the permissions. However, I'm not seeing anything on my forum that enables me to designate a thread as "featured." I'm not seeing this:

Mine looks like this, still:

I've triple checked that my permissions are set to "Yes."

How / where do I designate a thread as "featured?" Thanks!

Replying to myself... Got it! LOL! Eventually I figure things out. I had to mark the NODES as enabled. Duh!

Next question... We'll see if I figure this one out myself...

The background image / wallpaper for the slider... where do I set that?

Instead of something like this (from the addon overview page:
1649604679893.webp

I'm getting an "error" of "wallpaper not found":

OK... got it figured out... the image is loaded from the Featured Thread Edit window:

Is there a way to set a default image? Or a way to have it automatically pick an image from the OP in the featured thread?
 
I’ve been desperately trying to get this add-on to work on our site for an age, but I’ve had no luck.

I’d be most grateful if someone could help.

1. I’ve downloaded and installed the add-on.
2. I then go to ‘options’ and enable the thread slider.
3. Display position: forum list above nodes.
4. I select the node that I want to feature.
5. I then go to user permissions and give me ‘yes’ to all the add-on permissions
6. Go to the ‘forums’ home page, and nothing happens.

What am I missing?

Have you gone into a thread an clicked "Featured" to actually feature it?
 
Here are the steps in featuring a thread in my forum.
You need to select the thread, but you will need an image from the thread to be able to feature it. The image must be stored on your workstation to be given to the application.
After that is done the image will appear in the XTR slider in whatever position you have configured, along with the images from other featured threads.

Thanks Tom.
I actually think there's an issue with one of our other add-ons conflicting with it.

I disabled all of our add-ons except the Featured Thread Slider, and it worked exactly as I'd expect.

Therefore, I'm now in the process of 'enabling' them again one by one to try and work out where the problem lies.

Will report back when I know what's what.
