Any way you could make this available only for mods/admins? Ex. I can put an image for their post but I don't want members to have access to this feature.

Also, it's not working on my site. =/ I have it installed and don't see an option to add image to post. heres my site: www.teamblackfrost.boards.net

The option to add image to post is usually this button (). Some people like to change that button image though and the default theme on your site has it as () when I view it




If you do not see the extra option "Make this the thread image" when creating a thread or editing the first post in a thread then I'll need a bit more to go on.

Hey thanks! I didn't know an icon was what I was looking for. Sorry =/ I thought was a "add image post" button somwhere next to the title.

Can't understand where is the option in the thread list that allows me to change the icon
is it in the plugin options or in the edit thread?

[Muhammed Suleiman [Oldman]]

Nevermind

when inserting an image you have the option to make that image the image for the entire thread

That part outlined in red is not normally there, the plugin adds it also because the image for the thread gets updated at the time you click INSERT IMAGE and  have "Make this the thread image" checked you can simply delete the image prior to submitting if you do not want the image to be part of the post.

Making the image any larger would wreak havoc on your board layout, what  would suggest is a hover effect that would then show a larger image?




If that's acceptable then place the following code at the bottom of your Board > Thread List layout^* and see if it does the job



<script type="text/javascript">
/* Enlarge Thread Icon in a Tooltip */
$(function () {
$('.thread .icon .avatar_size_small img[alt="Thread"]')
.each(function () {
$(this).tipTip({
maxWidth : '500px',
defaultPosition : 'right',
content : this.outerHTML || $('<div/>').append($(this).clone(true)).html()
})
})
})
</script>


*place code in global footer instead if you wish to affect all themes

Newby, I took a look and noticed a bug regarding editing the first post to add an image versus adding the image when creating the thread (the edit an existing thread method was failing). If you're doing it by editing the first post of a thread then I made a small change to the plugin since it was using an outdated method to detect the difference, so re-download and try again.

I'm not seeing any image url data saved in the key for that plugin on your forum so I assume this is the problem...

Thanks

downloaded the update and tried again, but still no luck would maybe another plugin be affecting it?

I'd love to have the option for selectable preset up icons Eton! As I'd likely use it then for more visual referencing etc (and I miss them icons I really do!)

Since it seems to be a recurring theme with this plugin perhaps you can talk me through the process step-by-step of how you are going about adding an icon to a thread?

In that case try this version.


It comes with a menu/button by the subject which shows the currently assigned image as well as allowing the thread creator to choose from a list of available icons you've supplied in the plugin settings. Every icon that appears in that list can be individually excluded or included on a per board basis. There is also a setting to globally include or exclude specific users from being able to set an icon.

Provided it works as designed (no major bugs) then I plan on adding a templating system to account for changed layouts, currently it looks only for the default structure in order to place the icon.

SPOILER: Click to show

Thanks! I will do!
