Banner/Thumbnail for thread

[CrushyGreenRen]

I would like a plugin that allows you to set a thread banner and thumbnail. They can be separate images.
I already have (super basic) js for the banner (since the banner can only pop up in threads of specific boards) and I have set up the layout templates for that specific board.

Probably a description as well.
If it's not too much to ask, please make it editable and add comments so I can adjust the JS when I make changes to the HTML, or when anyone else sees this and decides that they would like this for their forum. 


(description to be added)



A mockup the best I could make it:

(ignore the description box)

For the banner, i would probably like a placeholder banner.
The Thread layout template html snippet:
<div id="thread_header" class="title-bar">

{if $[reply_button]}

<ul class="controls"><li>$[reply_button]</li></ul>

{/if}

       <div id="mod_banner">

        <h1 id='headertag'>$[thread.subject]</h1> $[thread.labels]

       </div>

</div>
And for the mod (or thread) thumbnail:
   <picture class="card-img-top">

       <img src="[link to image]" class="ratio-image" style="border-radius: 4px 4px 0px 0px;width:100%!important;height:100%!important">

   </picture>

CrushyGreenRen Have you given this existing plugin a try? It doesn't do exactly what you want, but it's editable and the bones are there. If you know some JS, you could probably edit it to get closer to your request:

I tried to toy around with that and sadly, I never get the results I wanted.

By curiosity I used it without modifications (bar the settings) and it seems like it uses my avatar instead of the first image/my chosen image for the thread icon, so even if I managed to get it to work, it'll display my avatar, not the desired image.

Bump!
