Hi everyone, and congrats vfxdude for the great theme.
I just want to know how to show the meta tags ( categories ) in the thumbnails generated by the bf thumbs .
And when i check the " Show Meta info for Thumbnail posts" nothing happen too. It only shows a bar .
tks

It works for the thumbnail posts in the blog/archive/search. I will consider adding it to bfthumbs thumbnail posts, though I'm not sure if it is the best looking solution, that's why I added possibility to add just the date ("Add Date to the Thumbnail posts text").

Roger - you've done an amazing job with BigFeature, thank you.
I'm using bfthumbs on my frontpage. I placed an h5 tag right above the bfthumbs shortcode with the text "from the blog" to help visitors realize the the thumbnails represent recent posts from the blog.
In addition, I'm using the meta = "true" parameter in the shortcode to display the date and comments.
Some questions:
1.) How can I specify the date format in the bfthumbs meta parameter (the default doesn't match what I'm using site-wide)
2.) Display author's name in the meta?
3.) Style the meta information the same as how it appears on the blog/archive/search for thumbnail posts (border on top and bottom)?
I realize that there are some challenges incorporating all these variations into the shortcode... so, can you point me to a relevant chunk of php code that I could insert into my frontpage (or default page template) to achieve these results in lieu of the shortcode?
What I'd like to be able to display is:
MMM DD, YYYY | BY AUTHOR
or
MMM DD, YYYY | BY AUTHOR | X COMMENTS
or
MMM DD, YYYY | X COMMENTS
Thanks!

1. It's using the "Short Date Format", that can be changed in the theme settings.
2. For thumbnail posts I just added date and comments, but it can be easily changed in the code. In theme-functions.php (in library/functions) search for "ThumbMeta" and below there you can add the date by copying author code some lines below.
3. If you want the full meta in thumbs you can just remove the "if thumb" section and show the same for everything.
