{$xtdispportal_threads}

Create a custom thread fields with this setting:

• Title: Display To Portal?
• Key: xtdispportal
• Applicable Forums: select some forums
• Input Field Type: Listbox
• Field Input Height: 1
• Values List :
  
  Code:

  Yes

  ---

• Editable by / Required Field? : Administrators
• Allow Filtering: Yes
  

(Not set)
Yes

The (Not set) is the "default value". So, when a regular user create a new thread or edit their thread, this value will be set automatically. Of course they can't change the setting because we already set this custom thread fields permission to Administrators only. And we can give the "power" to some user group like Super Moderator or Moderator to be able to set a thread to be displayed in portal, if there is a good thread from member to display (by editing the thread, select Yes in the setting).

Optional Setting
Do this only if we are allowing Moderators to set a thread to be displayed in portal.

Create Moderator Tools:
Admin CP -> Configuration -> Moderator Tools -> Add New Thread Tool

• Name: Display In Portal
• Name: Display this thread in portal
• Available in forums: Select in which forum we apply the xtdispportal custom thread field. Related to Applicable Forums setting of the custom thread field.
• Modify Custom Thread Field(s):
  • Field: xtdispportal
  • Value: Yes
    
  Code:

  xtdispportal=Yes

	$xtdispportal_icon_cache = $GLOBALS['cache']->read('posticons');
	$query = $db->query('
		SELECT t.*, t.username AS tusername, u.username, u.avatar, u.usergroup, u.displaygroup, a.aid, f.name
		FROM '.TABLE_PREFIX.'threads t
		LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'users u ON (u.uid=t.uid)
		LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'xtattachments a ON (a.tid=t.tid)		
		LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'threadfields_data td ON (td.tid=t.tid)
		LEFT JOIN '.TABLE_PREFIX.'forums f ON (f.fid=t.fid)
		WHERE t.visible=1 AND td.xtdispportal="Yes" AND t.closed NOT LIKE "moved|%" AND a.thumbs!=""'.$xtdispportal_unviewwhere.'
		GROUP BY a.tid
		ORDER BY t.dateline desc
	');

I tried the above code in the query and it does not crash, but also no pic...

so I added this extra line:

			$xtdispportal_replies = my_number_format($xtdispportal['replies']);
			$xtdispportal_att_thumb = xthreads_get_xta_url($xtdispportal).'/thumb240x180';
			$xtdispportal_views = my_number_format($xtdispportal['views']);

and I added to the template

{$xtdispportal_att_thumb} 

But still no thumb.

I hope its ok for me to do this - I look at/alter other peoples plugins to try and learn.

EDIT
And I am back again... After several hours of banging my head on the wall I realised that the ICON (as coded by RateU in the original plugin) also does not show in the portal - so it seems like its something to do with images. I have attached my file.

Also, I don't want to seem like a whiner or to overshadow the great work RateU has done here, I really appreciate this plugin and all the work he does to help us all with implementing XThreads.

				$xtdispportal_thread_icon = '<img src="'.$xtdispportal['path'].'" alt="" title="" />';

Replace it with this:

				$xtdispportal_thread_icon = '<img src="'.$xtdispportal_thread_icon['path'].'" alt="" title="" />';
			}else{
				$xtdispportal_thread_icon = '';

You can put an image URL as a "default" thread icon there if you want.

This is the link Iget when viewing the same image from the profile page

there is a chain of numbers missing  1281553459  - any idea what may be causing that?

Unfortunately, I don't know how to "activate" the threadfields variable with image. I can activate it only with other input field type.
