Topic: [Release] Topic Image Mod

Description: Allows administrators the ability to enter any image URL that will be displayed alongside the topic title on viewforum.php. See the demo for a preview of the layout only.

The code can be edited to allow moderaters, members and guests the ability to post images also - though I strongly recommend against this due to trolls, spammers etc. If a few people like the mod I can add these options as a plugin.

Re: [Release] Topic Image Mod

Looks good. Thank you for releasing that.

A few quick initial comments...

The code can be edited to allow moderaters, members and guests the ability to post images also - though I strongly recommend against this due to trolls, spammers etc. If a few people like the mod I can add these options as a plugin.

I think doing this would add a lot of great extra utility to this mod. The risk of abuse is there but it can be controlled I think.

Another good admin option (if it's not there already) would be to let the admin specify which forums this feature is active in.

For example, say I have a general community forum for little old ladies to network in, and I want to create a 'for sale' forum where they can list stuff for sale and include a picture of the item to be sold, to make browsing the stuff listed more useful. This feature would only make sense in the 'for sale' forum so that's where I'd only want it to be available.

This might be able to be achieved by a permissions settings per forum or by some other means via the forum Administration area.

There may also be forum performance issues involved in having topic images  enabled in every forum, so being able to turn the feature on in only one forum could make a noticeable difference to a big or busy site.

I will go away now and have a play with it.
