featured image for posts

charles

i'm using featured image term from wordpress

for nodebb, instead of showing user avatar on left side, show image of post instead

will this require many changes?

is this option available in existing theme or would have to be created via plugin?

pichalite

@charles no plugin required. themes support it.

charles

@pichalite

i enabled setting, assigned topic thumb to post and tried all default themes but unable to see it show up any where

Please try to reload/restart NodeBB and use Persona. Latest updates fixed it for Lavender and Vanilla themes.

pichalite

@charles What's your NodeBB version? Persona theme had the support for topic thumbnails for a while now. Support was added to Vanilla & Lavender recently.

charles

new install few days ago to test.

dashboard: You are running NodeBB v1.0.0

i edit the post to make sure it is there
-thumbnail shown next to the icon (Add a thumbnail to this topic)
-Paste a topic thumbnail URL: /uploads/files/test.jpg

pichalite

@charles is the file test.jpg available in the folder /uploads/files or you entered a url for the image in that textbox?

charles

@pichalite

added another file test2.jpg and see that one in folder

where should i see that thumbnail displayed? maybe i'm not looking at the right place

pichalite

@charles is your site public... I can take a look

charles

@pichalite sadly it's on localhost. appreciate your offer.

charles

Is it possible for @julian @psychobunny @baris to enable topic thumbnail in testing ground category (https://community.nodebb.org/category/4/testing-ground) so the feature can be tested?

charles

Please move this post to Bug Reports category.

I confirmed this is a bug with all included themes for nodebb v1.0.0

If I switch to @pichalite's nodebb-theme-material the topic thumbnail does show instead of the user avatar.

@julian should a bug report be filed for each theme?

charles

This is still an issue when I tested with new v1.0.2 install.

Can anyone help?

Sylwester Cyba

You need to enable uploading regular files in Admin.

It'll be fixed in NodeBB 1.0.3.

charles

@nhl.pl yes it's already enabled and the file already uploaded but it's not showing.

please see this post https://community.nodebb.org/topic/8140/featured-image-for-posts/11#

Interesting.

Not working:
NodeBB v1.0.2, all themes
NodeBB v1.0.3-auto.0, all themes

Works on Material Design 2.6.4 and NodeBB 1.0.2.

pichalite

good to know it works on material theme

charles

@nhl.pl glad you're seeing the same thing. was starting to doubt myself since no one else was confirming.
