Title: Add Thumbnails To Polls
Post by: Sockratease on April 24, 2017, 05:00:39 AM
Hi,

I help run FractalForums.com and we run Fractal Art Contests annually.  Our next one is scheduled to start in a month or 2.

I wanted to introduce a new voting system by using forum polls.  It's a lot easier to keep votes under control if trying to keep standings hidden until the contest ends.

But without a thumbnail of the entry right next to the vote choice thing  (preferably one that links to the Gallery Post with the full sized image) the poll list is too big to expect people to remember the entries simply by their name.

Thumbnails would help tremendously with that  (thumbnail links even more so!).

Is such a mod possible?  Is it overly complicated?  Would anybody else use it besides me?

Thanks to any developers who read this or consider the possibility   8)

Can't you put a small image into the poll options, using [img] tags?

That deosn't work - is there an option to enable BBC tags in polls via the admin panel?


EDIT - WAIT!

That works in our Beta Install!!

We are upgrading from 1.1 to the new version.

It does not work on the old site and never thought to check on the new one   ::)

Thanks for the kick in the right direction.
