I was wondering how this can be done, I’ve seen it on other Discourse communities, was wondering how I can also do this on my local Discourse instance. I basically want it so the GIF will automatically play.

You want this Theme Component: [Bild] Discourse Gifs Theme component discourse2 Summary Discourse Gifs adds a button to the composer that allows you to search for gifs and easily add the best one to your post. hammer_and_wrench Repository Link https://…

Yeah I have that installed, my problem is I want the GIF to play as a post/topic thumbnail, was wondering if that’s possible?

[zach dorsey GIF] This is how it works out of the box: it’s animated. What’s the issue?

[image] Like would it be possible to have a playable GIF next to the topic?

so what was missing in your description of the problem was “Topic List”. :smiley: this might be possible but you’d need to use a Theme Component to expose the Topic’s image url. And I believe it would only pick it up if it was in the OP. :biohazard: This would really slow down the loading of Topi…

Ahh, what theme component do you recommend?

I wouldn’t recommend doing this, because it is not scalable. You would have to build this yourself. It’s not that hard, good learning exercise.

There would be a learning curve to begin with but this project would be a good first project. Read more here: Developing Discourse Themes & Theme Components Go for it then share your solution with the community!
