@marek I can see the value of this and generally like it. However, given that Friendica lends itself to larger posts than Mastodon, including posts that might use multiple images interspersed within the body of the text, I am wary of any solution that compiles all the images in a post and displays them as "attachments" at the end.
There are times when I want to use images in the middle of a post, and they'd become much less meaningful in a compiled cluster at the end of the post, even if they were in a much prettier grid.
@spencer@marek Friendica detects images at the end and groups them in "attachments" as Mastodon does. However, we don't touch images interspersed between paragraphs.
Marek's feature could handle the attachment pictures without touching the post illustrations.
@marek The rendering of conversations is a little complex, but I can easily point you to the main template: - templates/wall_thread.tpl - theme/frio/templates/wall_thread.tpl - theme/vier/templates/wall_thread.tpl
@spencer Dear @hypolite might you be so kind and point me to the place in the code where I could best start to look around for rendering posts? Even though inspecting different usage locations of promising function names is a good opportunity to learn more about the code structure, it is also quite time-consuming and thus inefficient :-D
@hypolite thank you very much. Now I have everything to get started making myself familiar tomorrow. German time-zone recommends some sleep beforehand. :-)
