Plugin for preview image in article listing

Hi,

I’d like to create a plugin to add a thumbnail preview image to the article listing. I’ve started looking at some of the samples, but none of them appear to focus on the article listing. Is there one you know of I should take a look at to get an idea of the direction I should take?

Thanks!

That’s a sweet setup, works fine for me too!

This is very cute theme.
Is there any way to add the article toolbar plugin to default theme? Or unite it with feedly theme?

I know this thread is old, but I just got TTRSS set up and this is the exact setup I have been looking for! Unfortunately it seems the Mega link is now dead. Can you pastebin the CSS file? I would be forever grateful. Thank you in advance.

I want this one too. Did anyone find the theme that we can download?

i was bored and made a quick proof of concept of sorts

but seriously, why would you want this

  • so much vertical space wasted
  • calculating flavor images on the fly adds ~20ms per headline row on my dev vm
  • some images are going to be huge, downloading them all to render in a tiny <img> is such a waste

to do this more or less properly, flavor image needs to be calculated per-article during update process, resized, and stored (both thumbnail and original). feels like too much work for a largely useless feature like this.

You’re definitely correct that that is a waste of space. I’d like to see (like in the original post) a squarish small version of the included graphic that would balance the text and give you both a sample of the text and of the graphic to decide whether to click through to the full post. I am so sick of the huge graphics on twitter and in the larger versions of the post excerpts. Seems like there is no balance - you can get what amounts to a long single line with no picture, or you can get a full magazine style page with huge picture. That’s the point of the original graphic, as I see it, to provide a compact summary of both text and graphic so you can decide what your want to drill down and spend more time reading.

I will add too that what I really want to do is to have a feed running on my big-screen television that will auto-refresh itself and provide a running feed of news and other posts, kind of like “twitterfall” but also showing a sample of the included graphic. A sqarish graphic, combined with four or five lines from the post, would be perfect.

This is exactly what I was looking for too. Newsblur (another open source RSS) has a similar layout, but the source code was too difficult to try to get up and running on my server for just one user. I would love the thumbnail previews on the overview page.
