This works in the TC, I used it this week. As for the plugin, I’ll take a look at this in the run up of the next supported upgrade period. Thanks for the report.
Thumbnails are created by Discourse now. Most of the related logic has been removed from TLP. We would need to ask them to support animated GIFs.
Yep, I’ve raised this. This is a template clash. One of my colleagues is looking at it.
It should work - I have seen sites using our official theme component successfully with animated gifs. Make sure that the allow animated thumbnails setting is enabled in your site settings. (it is enabled by default)
If it still doesn’t work, feel free to create a new #support topic here with the gif that doesn’t work.
Goooops, missed that setting, David, thanks so much for interjecting!
@jord8on if you get no joy with that I will take a look in first instance in that case. Hit me up with an example in a PM if that doesn’t work for you.
Animated GIF’s are working on our site. I’m not sure what the issue was. Maybe it was something on my local device ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thanks for looking into that!!
One more question. I just checked out the official discourse theme component and am wondering what the differences are between that Topic List Thumbnails Theme Component and this “Topic List Previews” plugin? Is one better or worse for certain situations?
@davidkingham@jord8on I’ve added the missing mobile plugin outlet to the TC that @fzngagan has kindly PR’d into Discourse core (cheers mate!), so you might find things are improved. I’ve not yet tested with the Events plugin though!
Let me know how you get on with Events plugin and the TC:
If we adjust thumbnail resolution or uninstall the TLP plugin, do we need to take any actions to purge the old generated thumbnails? Or will they purge automatically in time?
Created At. As in when the Topic was created (not when the tag was applied). And I’ve just double checked a site I have it on and it appears to be working as expected in both modes?
That’s personal choice. TLP has been around longer and in part that is why it is more feature rich (Thumbnail chooser, Featured Images, User Portfolio system, support for Suggested Topics), it has a slightly different Tiles format with more meta data, TLTTC has an additional view type (grid).
Unfortunately, with the last update, the images which do not hosted directly on discourse don’t show up on Grid or Tiles anymore. Could you please check that?
For example, it the post has image from other server (blogger, picasa, …) then they don’t show up anymore. Previously, it works great without any problem.
I believe it should still work if your ‘uploads’ are hosted on a remote server via settings, but it will no longer hotlink to remote sites and non-affiliated third parties.
It no longer makes sense to manage this part of the code-base in the plugin given it’s now handled by core. It’s absolutely right you follow up with them
