Thread Description [Library Support]

[Maiden]

Are we going to lose all the current Thread Descriptions if we upgrade? (Seeing as you said you pretty much rewrote it?) or are we safe as long as we don't delete the data?

You are safe as long as you don't delete the data.

Awesome thanks for this update! Having the classes for the CSS is great.

Is there a way to make it display above the labels rather than below?

Thanks!

I can do it, but if I did, it would then just open up the possibility having it anywhere you wanted it and i would then get a million requests saying where to put it. And I don't feel like editing this plugin over and over just to change the position of one thing.

My reasoning is just that descriptions tend to be longer than labels, and by default the labels are in a smaller text, so I find:

---

short text
Line of longer text, possibly in proper sentences, etc.


looks weirder than

---

Line of longer text, possibly in proper sentences, etc.
short text


which personally I think looks smarter.

But I totally understand why you don't want to switch it around and open the floodgates.

EDIT: No way to change the position with CSS/make the plugin editable by us end users I guess?

The reason I did it the way I did was so that if you had a really long description, you wouldn't have to scroll down to see the labels. This way you could also see the label right off the bat, and see the starting of the description. That was my logic.

Good logic

Really useful. Thanks

One glitch I may have found is that the description doesn't show up when you click a specific members recent threads from their profile.

Fixed with 1.1.0.  Thanks again.

Glad it's working for you as intended.

With the new version when you edit the first post in a thread you lose the description...

I'm not seeing that you actually have any plugins activated? 

[Former Member]

No I turned them off, since they are not working.
