Possible bug.

When using the Share function and posting to Facebook I get an error message indicating Thread can't connect to Facebook.

Checking Facebook debugger I find one major error message:
"Your page has meta tags in the body instead of the head. This may be because your HTML was malformed and they fell lower in the parse tree.
Please fix this in order for the tags to be usable."

I think the Thread Descriptions plugin may be causing the problem, as I can successfully upload multiple multiple Shares of same Threads which don't have anything in the Thread Description text area. Does this make sense?

Note: I added this fix to correct other Share/Facebook problems.

UPDATE: Disabling plugin didn't prevent error message appearing when trying to connect to Facebook.

So you disabled the plugin and you still can't share? If so then this isn't a problem with the plugin.

It was just me being dumb. I was trying to Share to Facebook from a Members/Staff board. The Facebook error explanation is what got me thinking it was your Plugin, but then I was trying to Share from a M/S board. Geez, I'm going to go bury my head.

It's all good. Glad the admins helped you out.

Smangii & everyone else. The library version has been updated. You now do not have to have placeholder text.

[smashwords2]

Does update overwrite the existing plugin or do we still have to delete plugin but not data.

[Shorty]

you don't have to do anything but install the update from the library. Don't delete the plugin or anything. Just install from the library.

I was wondering if there was a way that I could blockquote all thread descriptions.

<(o_0)>Crazy Redd<(0_o)> You wanting this in the thread list or the thread itself?

Brilliant Plugin love it!

Is it possible for me to add something in somewhere that will also add the thread descriptions into the LAST POST column on the home page, below the thread title?

I realise I will also need to make that column wider to fit in the extra text, but I think it would make the front page of the forum look really great.

Thanks very much

hi! amazing plugin, but i was wondering if it's possible to be able to add thread descriptions on the recent threads page? like right under the thread title in each post? if possible~

[Shorty]

Newby It's possible. If I do it, I'll make it so that you have to put some html element in place so that those who don't want it won't have it, and those who do will.

lucymeow It does work on that page. You might wanna check that you have the latest version.

[lucymeow]

oops, sorry, my bad. i meant the recent posts page!

Alright guys. I updated the original post with the new download link. I basically rewrote it, while using a lot of the old code. Pagination functions are super rigged, lol. Uh. I basically added in everything I said I would(I believe). If I didn't let me know, and I'll get on that. I added classes for some CSS.

The CSS to use for the descriptions on the thread listing is

div.thread_description_list {
CSS STUFF
}

The CSS to use for the descriptions on the thread page is

div.thread_description_page {
CSS STUFF
}

For the description on the thread page, I have it placed right below where the labels are placed. I hope this is satisfactory for you guys. As always, you find a bug, let me know so I can fix it.

Thanks for this, I used it!

in addition to my previous question from july about the recent posts, i was also wondering if it's possible to move the description in the thread to a different location. i don't like where it's at currently so is there a way to put it in the header, right beside the subject for example?
