Thank you for the help

Solved.

Hey

Is it also possible to show a trailer of a movie instead of a plate.
see example: https://www.filmtotaal.nl/film/20940

Hello,

There used popup with youtube video.

We need to store a link to the video somewhere . Currently this is not possible.

So I eventually got around to this and wanted to check a couple of things since my ACP had a slight blip after installing it -- though I suspect it was due to my computer rather than the app -- and would like to make sure before I move to far into using the app:

• Does it work with IPS cloud hosting?
• Is it supposed to add a top-level menu into the ACP?
  • It added the Topic Cover menu to the top on the very left side of the ACP.

Yes

If you have any problems with app tell me

Would it be possible to add a URL link to the picture ?
This way users could also click on the image and visit a website.

This would be very useful for forums with sponsors where they could pay for an ad in the right topic.

Support for IP4.2

Looks like an amazing plugin, except I'm yet to test it as I'm on 4.2

Hello,

Not tested. If you use the app on 4.2 and found any issues just tell me and I'll look into the problem and fix.

Then go under Applications and install there then. Plugins install with an xml file and applications install with a tar file. 

[dunefreak]

Ahh I see! Thank you. Makes sense now.

Now if I could only figure out the permissions and settings. There is no drop down module listed under the application to adjust anything.

It's an application. I forgot add txt file with instruction. Sorry about that.

Install as application. ACP - System - Applications - click on Install button - select .tar file.

and ACP - Members - Moderators - select any moderator - tab Topic Cover

[dunefreak]

oh ok! Thanks. I got it now. 

I like this feature on it's own, but was hoping this new topic cover image would be the image that Facebook used for the sharer image when sharing a topic. Do you know if there is a way to set the meta tag on that image so it is sort of a featured image for FB? I know when sharing a calendar event, which also uses a cover image, that image is what is displayed on FB.

Hello,

Add in custom.css 

#elNbTopicCover.ipsResponsive_hidePhone {
	display: block !important;
}

Or open nbtopiccover - front - hooks - nbTopicCover, find and remove ipsResponsive_hidePhone

A couple of things with the current version (1.0.0):

• It seems as if the "Topic authors can manage covers" option overrides the Group permissions directly above it.  Example: I have a group called simply "Member," which cannot set covers according to the Group menu.  However, he created a topic in a Club and was able to set the photo because "Topic authors can manage covers" is ON.  Is this intentional?  It seems that the Group permissions should override cover management, not the other way around.
• Perhaps related to the first one: the Member who created a topic in my Club was not only able to set a photo cover for his topic - when the Reposition screen came up so he could move the topic cover to where he wanted it, he could also adjust the cover image for the entire Club!  So obviously that should be fixed.

The setting "Groups (Who can set covers when create the topic)" affect on create topic form

Members can't set covers

Members can set covers

---

The setting "Manage (Topic authors can manage covers)" affect on existing topics

---

Don't forget check moderators permissions

The application doesn't related with clubs covers.

If you allowed topic author manage covers in his topics he can add/edit/delete covers.

Would it be possible to link third party image site instead of storing it to the server.

1. It's by default. The block has css class ipsResponsive_hidePhone

It would be great using external url. Similar to this plugin.
