Thread Icons [v0.1.17 Updated on 15-Feb 2020]

[Chris]

The image inherits the size of the image it is replacing, there is no size explicitly set by the plugin but if you want to explicitly set one you can use CSS to do so as I stated in a previous reply. So, for example, if you wanted to show images that were 300 pixels wide you would use the following rule:


.icon .avatar_size_small img {
width:300px;
max-width:none;
max-height:none;
}
table.list .head th.icon, table.list .thread td.icon, table.list .thread td.icon .avatar_size_small {width:auto;height:auto;}


But as I've also warned your mileage may vary depending on how well your browser handles table reflows.

Brilliant working perfect so far!
Thanks very much

[SailorEffinMoon]

Wow great update! Looks fantastic, thanks

Is there a way to make this work on one specific board only?


.icon .avatar_size_small img {
width:300px;
max-width:none;
max-height:none;
}
table.list .head th.icon, table.list .thread td.icon, table.list .thread td.icon .avatar_size_small {width:auto;height:auto;}  

Oh and also (I just noticed) I had to turn off the "Show icon in title bar" because whenever I go to share (facebook, pinterest) it would automatically title it as "Thread Icon" lol.

Wrap it up in a <style type="text/css"> </style> tags and drop it in the specific board's header under structure > headers & footers

Thanks for sharing, I'll see if there's a workaround for that

[SailorEffinMoon]

Cool, thanks! I'm just getting closer and closer to my dream of just having the images on my movies board (removing subject and last post) that, when clicked, open that thread

[Newby]

One little problem is that when it searches for the first image in the thread its coming up with Smileys is it possible to make it so it does not see them as images?

Thanks

Since Proboards doesn't support Pinterest I will assume you are using a code to do the sharing. I could not reproduce this with the built-in sharing support for Twitter and Facebook so can you give more details on which third party code you are using so I can investigate further?

I'm just about to play with the thread icon set but I was wondering if you could create "categories" for the icons. Eg: Standard set
[x Set] etc

Edit: Never mind. I'm aware this is called Thread Icons but is there any way icons could also be selected for each post but only show next to the subject line of each post?

Perhaps you could flesh out a use case to further explain what you mean by creating categories since I am not quite grasping the concept. Each icon that you add in the plugin settings has the ability to show up or not show up depending on board and the user group specified for that icon. A "standard set" as I am understanding could be setup for certain board and/or group of users while a different set could be created for a different collection of boards and/or users and so on.

Since this plugin uses a thread key in order to retrieve icons when there are threads (not posts) available on the page and since it also goes to great lengths to ensure that only the first post is capable of setting an icon (mimicking the old V4 behavior) it would actually be easier to create a different plugin to targets posts rather than tear everything down to rewrite from the ground up for a dual key plugin.

[Boy_Wonder]

That would be fine - I only need post icons to work in one board. Regarding categorization I was thinking originally thread icons were selectable in any board so was going to ask for something like:

[ForumCaching Only]
Forum Caching Icons
[Standard Icons]
Standard Icons
[RP related]
RP Icons
[Sales Related]
Sales Icons

[Chris]

Thread icons are selectable in any board or group UNLESS YOU CHOOSE to restrict them to certain boards or groups when you create them in the plugin settings, those are only options and can be left blank.

Perhaps I am still misunderstanding the intent of the category request but could you not create a sales group then associate the sales icons with that sales group so those icons can only be used by that group. You could go even further and limit those sales icons only to boards where sale transactions occur, this way someone who is a member of both the sales and archiving group would see the sales icons when in a sales related board and see the archiving icons when in a board related to archiving and so on. Icons that are not associated with any group or any board ("standard icons") would show up everywhere as well.  This compartmentalization of access allows for much easier icon management when doling out who has what access to which icon set and reduces clutter by removing icons not needed or not allowed in that situation (e.g removes the ability to set an RP icon in a board that is not RP-related).

[Boy_Wonder]

Basically I wanted categories just to be text names to reduce the risk of some individual deciding to use that - but the fact I can restrict to certain boards is what made me go "oh never mind" as you already had thought of it

Is it possible to use attachments as thread icons? I'm having trouble getting that to work.

Here's the attachment:

Here's the forum (only the present icon, which is not an attachment, seems to work)
