Thread Thumbnails
--------------------------------------
Created By: Null Parameter
This mod is tested with 3.8.1, but may work with other versions.
Please leave any comments, suggestions or bugs.
Description
This mod allows a user, when creating or editing a thread, to specify a Thumbnail image to be used for display next to the thread in the Thread Listing. There are other mods that do this with Attachments, but I wanted to be able to do it with any image.
With this mod you can define a set of forums that have thumbnails enabled, then in those forums whenever a user creates or edits their thread (they must edit the first post in the thread), they can define the thumbnail image.
This image is then shown in the Forum Display, in place of the Thread Icon.
The image also appears in Tag Search, and I can add it to the regular Search if somebody requests it. And possibly have options for displaying in each area.
Forum Display:
Other options include:
- Showing Thumbnails for sticky threads
- Width to use for thumbnails
- URL of an image to use if no thumbnail is defined
Here is an example image:
- Width to use for No Thumbnail Image
