getThumbnailOrDefault about habboapi HOT 4 CLOSED

To come back on your own comment:

Yep, because if you really think about it, flag icons are a UI/View
problem.

If you use the thumbnail url as a background-image inline. And in CSS a fallback url background-image. You have no problems with this.

CSS:

.roomimg{
background-image:url(xxx.png);
}

HTML:

<div class="roomimg" style="background-image:url(thumbnail_url.png)"></div>

So my conclusion, it's a UI/View problem. And easy to fix for a user/developer.

Yeah, I'm also reconsidering the flag thing. Not necessarily to start using hhus, but to have a little helper function that can transform com to hhus and vice versa.

The background image is a good idea. But that doesn't work for normal images (without JS).

But the main problem I find is that Habbo (and thus we as well) return a fully valid HTTPS URL, but then in the end.. it doesn't even work. The ideal situation would be Habbo returning null.

The next best situation would maybe be that our HabboAPI is more user-friendly?

Image element is so unfriendly elements in HTML, I recommend to drop this and start using background-images. (But this is my opinion.)

Closing this particularly issue, the actual functionality might be built in #15.
