IanM In theory it should be too difficult to allow additional config, say on a per tag first/last post setup.
I'll also take a peek at Discussion Cards and see both what styling that uses, and if I can see what the issues are with it
Will report back once I know some more
I have been using it on my forum and there are a couple of things which would make it a really well rounded extension, if they are possible to do.
This means Synopsis settings works on the standard "all discussions" landing page many forums use....but is overridden by any individual tag settings. It prevents then the summary of all discussions' page becoming overly wordy and displaying blank areas when there are not enough characters to show an image, or where the user precedes an image with enough text that insufficient characters are left to display that image.
In tags though the Tag definition takes precedence, for characters and rich text.
So I might enable the extension with characters as 200 and display rich content disabled...giving a nice neat summary of discussions.
But in the Classifieds tags use 600 characters and display rich content...telling people to put the photo as the first thing.
Effectively classifieds can look like this.
While all discussions can look like this
Instead of this
I hope it's clear.
