What does this Plugin do?

Basically, this will allow you to have Custom Forum Status Icons for each forum - To have one image constantly displayed simply edit the options for each image replacement to the same image :devious:

Are there any screenshots?

See post below :)

Version History:

1.0.0: First release

Forums arranged in columns on forumhome (by Xenon):
See here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=851935&postcount=96) for the function and template change you need to make (Thanks to Danny.vBT for this)
Please Note: This modification is only required if you wish to use Custom Status Icons in conjunction with Xenon's hack...

[klaush]

I´ll give it a try!

Thanks!

[Chris M]

Hope it does what you're looking for - I tested it thoroughly but it's possible a bug or two skipped through the cracks :)

By the way - The Forum Manager screenshot shows images named "custom_new.gif" etc - You can name it whatever you like, I just named it "custom_new.gif" for my own ease :)

For example, "bananahammock.gif" is equally valid an image name :D

[icemann]

Thanks Chris, I'll give this a shot and post back.


btw: bananahammock.gif .......... I like that. LOL :)

[nonamer69]

Thanks Chris for coming through with this mod. ;)

[AshokForums.com]

Awesome! Definitely going to install this.

[colicab-d]

Nice one will be using for AO5 :) Chris

[icemann]

Dang, this was EASY.....QUICK.....and "INSTALLED". ;)

[Guest190829]

I used template conditionals to get this affect, this is much easier. Will install!

@ Chris: I think this might make vB3.6 ;) Good work.

Ps.
Developer's Make A Note
Chris rocks! Better acknowledge him when you add this functionality (that should have already been there). :D

[Chris M]

Thanks guys! :)

I just tested it on a fresh 3.5.1 and it didn't install with any problems, so I hope it remains that way :)

Chris

[The Wise One]

very nice. i, like Danny, used template conditionals to make this happen. installed.

i modified the template code slightly so i could apply different images based on a chosen style. i have multiple styles that use the same image...but different background colors based on the colors of the style chosen.

this is what i did:

changed
<img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" />

to
<img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum/$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" />
then created a directory in "images/statusicon" called "forum" for each statusicon directory i specified in the style options (under image paths) and placed my images there. then, for each forum, in the options, i just specified the file name.

i hope you dont mind me posting this in this thread.

[Cedric_FP]

Wow, excellent mod. I needed this!

[Zachariah]

Thanks Sir.

/me installs

[PennylessZ28]

Excellent work!-

[FleaBag]

I hadn't realised before it was made - but this will really come in handy! :)

[Cedric_FP]

Wow, check it out: It's so colourful now! (http://www.fictionpost.com)

[Ramsesx]

Cool idea, I'll give it a try but first need to make some images
@cedric
looks nice, can you give me a hint where I can get this images you used?
thanks

[trancetopia]

Just what i've been looking for. Thanks Chris.

[Lottis]

Nice. Thank you Chris. *installs*

[Sychev_S]

can a picture be changed if no new posts were made since the last visit?

[Chris M]

can a picture be changed if no new posts were made since the last visit?

This plugin allows you the ability to assign images for each status of a forum - No new posts since your last visit would be another image you assign to the forum in the "No New Posts" replacement image setting :)

I recommend finding an image you like for the "New" image, then altering it with something like photoshop, and change the opacity to maybe 50 or 60%, as a "No New Posts" image :)

Chris

[King Kovifor]

Nice Hack Chris!!!! Really useful!

[Gehanna]

Thank You :classic:

[lanc3lot]

A question. This icons, will be applied even if the forum is a subforum ? (and i mean the icons will be showed in the lvl 2 view)

I also used conditionals, but its seems no more:D

Thnx Paul:)

PS

I found a major flaw in the whole system that made me uninstall it just for now. The flaw is:

If you use different styles in your forum, and therefore u need to have different icons to them, so they can "apply" better on the skin, this hack cant applied as it uses only one of them. Can we fix this, so we can "choose" in what style each one will work?
(with my conditionals i can, but its a pain on the ass to always change the codes so this hack will come very handy:))
Hope u can add a feature like this paul, thnx for any possible reply :)

[michaelbenson]

Thanks for this, it could work quite well to give particular forums added appeal. :)

[Chris M]

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=837978&postcount=14

That would be a way to accomplish multi-style custom status icons :)

Chris

[ShadowOne]

how do i make it with no images? cuz i have forums arranged in columns on 3.5.1 and i want to make it where it doesnt show an image...

[lazyseller]

upload a transparant gif...

[teedizz]

Can someone please explain to me how to get this to work with this particular hack :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=99829

This works absolutely fine with other forums as you can see in the picture I have added but I have the same exact picture pointed at the " West Coast " forum icon also but it doesnt show up. Pretty wierd to since those are not sub forums, just a different layout basically

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/6223/untitled3qj.jpg

[Chris M]

You may have to edit the templates specific to that hack which include statusicon images :)

Chris

[teedizz]

How do I go about doing that Chris? Im new at all this bro & need a little help.

[Chris M]

Edit forumhome_forumbit_columncell
Change:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />
to
<img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" />
That should change it for you :)

Chris

[teedizz]

Thx Chris but its still a no go. Its wierd because if i make the forum column 1 to where it looks like a regular forum, then everything works fine but as soon as I change the forum column to 3 then it wont show. I have edited the forumhome_forumbit_columncell, forumhome_forumbit_level2_post, forumhome_forumbit_level1_post & I even edited the plug in. I am completely out of ways to try to get this to work. Once i'm done with this then I should be good to go. Ive went thru all of those files that I mentioned above & changed

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

to

<img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum/$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0

I used that code since I have a couple different styles

Can you think of anything else that I may have to edit to get this to work bro?

[Chris M]

You may need to edit Stefan's code to include a call, check and condition for custom status icons...

I'll take a look at it tomorrow when I get back from University and see if I can alter it for you...

Chris

[teedizz]

ok...sounds good. Thanks alot.

[teedizz]

Hey Chris, any word on looking over it for me bro?

[teedizz]

Guess you cant find time huh Chris?

[Chris M]

I haven't yet found the time no...

I probably will take a look tomorrow...

Chris

[teedizz]

I really hope you can find the time bro because this is the only thing thats holding me back from opening my forums. Thanks alot.

Hi all

I have installed this Hack on forum vbulletin 3.53 but it's dont' work..

Is possible update it for the new Vbulletin 3.53?

Very Thanks :up:

[Kwikms]

It works on 3.5.3 for me. Great Mod.

What do I have to do to show the Icon at the top of every forumdisplay (where the topics are listed). I enabled the function to show the forum description at the top of every page and I want to display the custom icons there as well.

How can I do this?

[cerebro]

I just install in 3.5.3 works fine.

OBS: The install.txt file explain how to set for lvl1 and 2 post...so i forum home dont work..have to edit lvl1nopost. Add that if you like

[dkny]

great hack!
is there a way to have the images hyperlinked to the forum?

[The Chief]

installed and works great, thanks!!

/me clicks install

[kungfujesus]

Is there anything similar that works with 3.5.4?
Nevermind I got it working. If your icons are blank, try using no slash in the image path i.e.
images/icons/whatever.gif
instead of
/images/icons/whatever.gif

[magicktrick]

heck of a lot easier than than chaning the icons manually

[TypeStaff]

I'm very noob on all of this :S this hack looks so great but I need a little of help T_T

Where's exactly the place of the templates that I have to edit? O.O in admincp? thanks a lot and sorry about my ignorance :$!!!

[Uncle Buck # 2]

Does this hack exist for 3.5.4?

I am wanting each forum listed to have it's own icon. It would be a great customization look.

[gavinzac]

Does this hack exist for 3.5.4?
generally any mod made for 3.5 will work for anything after

[TCB]

This hack looks really great :D

Is there a way to have this one appear in the modcp area? This way moderators can help with adding icons, instead of me having to do everything in the admincp ;)

[ForYou]

Hello ,

What About SubForum can i add icon for it evry subforum have diffrent icon !!

[BeaLzeBuB]

it is working for me in 3.5.4 :D

only images must in vbroot

[Tim_GPN]

Awsome!! Thanks dude! Installed and workin like a treat.

[bklynjava]

I have installed and modified the proper files but where do I see whats pictured in the screenshots? lol

[satfox360]

This add-on works graet.

I am using it with xenon's columns and it solved alot of my problems.

Not also if you don't want to have an image icon you can just enable custom status icons "yes" and not put any images in.

Example at http://www.ftalife.com

I'm also on 3.5.4 working great with or without pic. Fully tested.

[l2-inferno]

this hack works in 3.6.0 RC1?

[Luca_000]

hi :)
works on vbulletin 3.6.0 gold ? :)

Where can I find the code for the icon key at the bottom of the forum page. I thought I had found it, deleted it but the key was still there lol, so I put back the bit I deleted.

[teedizz]

Chris.... do you plan on releasing this for 3.6?

[ConqSoft]

This works for me in 3.6....

[The-Ensemble]

Ok I installed with vb 3.6.0, I did the template edits, I inputted the right file and nada.

[Cheertobi]

[Ascor]

installed to 3.6 work nice, thank you :)

[wildcard27]

I just installed this to 3.6 and it doesn't seem to work. I changed the icons but it still shows the default icons. Could anyone help me out here?

[Bourneauau]

Ive done all the template modifications, wheres the GUI to change it all? It's not under vbulletin options.

[ohgenki]

what if we just want one particular image for one particular forum? how do we do that?

[I-Web]

I installed another version of this mod for 3.6.1 but it lacked a few features that i needed so tried this one on a test forum and it worked a treat this is ezactly what i was looking for.

Ta Muchly

[kylek]

Installed this on 3.6.1 and it works great but one thing we have noticed is that the option to double click the icon to have posts marked read doesn't work with this. Anyone have that feature working with this?

[red-dna]

if you edit the
alt="" border="0" /></td>
to
alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
the option to double click the icon to have posts marked read does work with the normal icons, but not with the custom icons.
i think you must edit also the clientscript/vbulletin_read_marker.js

Any ideas ?

However, the product is on the list when I click on the manage product tab.

Is there an update for 3.6.4?

[Smoothie]

To the dude above, I believe it's done in the forum manager.

[Tim_GPN]

Ive tried this plugin on 3.6.4, configured and all, and doesnt work. I used this one an old board of mine 3.5 and worked fine, so im assuming ive configured it properly.

Is there an update for 3.6.4 Chris?

[avitor]

where is Product Manager directory?

where i need to upload the xml file?

[Reiji Kurosaky]

I've installed this with 3.6.7 PL1 an it works like a charm.

Really a nice hack.

[Ultima07]

There's some flaws with this, even though it works. The icon wont change to unread or the other way around unless you CLICK ON THE CATEGORY name. Even if you click on a thread inside the cateogry (from the main page), it will stay the same icon (as unread).

Also this is have an affect with the sub forums too.

[ru55ian]

works great on 3.6.8

[Simon Moon]

Make sure when using this in 3.6.8 or later to not blindly copy the template edits. The templates have a bit more in them in the 3.6.8 than the installation shows. Essentially, just search for
$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif
and replace it with
<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>
That does the trick already and leaves the rest untouched in the templates. Mainly the id of the forum is removed with just copy pasting it, which can be very tricky if you have some style that depends on this.

Thank you for highlighting this...

I haven't had a chance to port any of my modifications to the latest version as I haven't even had the time to renew my licences yet ;)

I plan to do this after I get back from Holiday in October, so expect a new update confirmed to work on whatever the latest version is in approximately mid-October time :)

I have the same problem!

Any suggestion?

[Kwikms]

I use this mod in my forum for quite a long time and like it very much :) Actually, I modified it to show other custom infos for every forum as well.

http://www.fehler-im-film.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=389

You can see the images, but also "IMDB", "OFDB" and "Kino.de" custom links.

I added a field "Kinostart" (theatrical release) which has the date. But the format is english. I tried to get the german format without any success.

What I tried so far is

if ($forum['subinfos'] == 'kinostart')
{
$forum['customsubinfos'] = date("d.m.Y", strtotime($forum['kinostart']));
}


But then it is just empty.

Any ideas how to convert the date?

[Kwikms]

And another thing :)

I activated the option to show the forum infos on the forumdisplay with no subs also

http://www.fehler-im-film.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=53
(Herr der Ringe - Die Gef?hrten 2001; R: Peter Jackson; Mit: Noel Appleby, Sean Astin, Sala Baker, u.v.a. in this case).

I want to show the custom icon there as well but didnt get it to work. How can I do that?

ANY SUGGESTION FOR THIS PROBLEM? IS IMPORTANT!

[BelMaseto]

Just I've moved my board to a subfolder in public_html, and Custom Status Icons seems don't find the images now: I must edit manually the location of each image to include the path of the new subfolder.

Am I missing something ?

[powerbook]

Hi,

There doesn't seem there is much action in this forum but I'll try in anycase..

When you have more than one style active is there a way of making each style having it's own forum icons?

Thanks

[Pete C]

If you're using this particular hack, I would suggest that you just edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template & the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template, for each of the styles you want the modification to work on.

[Audentio]

Does this work with 3.7? :)

[leannet]

You are the best! Finally. Question though.

How do you get the information to show up next to the icon? Mine just shows the link to the forum, ie. music forum. I'd like to have the latest thread info like this.

This will just show it the way it normally shows up on the regular index.

To play around with the positioning of the text, find the last poster information in the template forumhome_lastpostby

[soundbarrierpro]

It works, but it creates the status icon next to the last post info. Basically you have your "forum" icon, then below it, the thread icon with the post info.

Put it in its own div like this
<div>$forum[lastpostinfo]</div>

And then work with aligning the divs together.

You are a saint, I can't begin to tell you how long I've been trying to get this worked out. Worked like a charm. Cheers.

There is no need to use mod for this feature in vBulletin 3.7 because the feature comes as standard with the software. Please see this thread:

I had this hack along with forum home in columns hack working fine till I upgraded from vb 3.71 to vb 3.72. Now I get red X's and when I right click on the X it shows me this .../statusicons/forum_new.gi%3C/a%3Ef not showing the right gif. Anyone know what might be causing this?

[sparklywater]

thanks for this great mod, works fine for me in vB 3.7.2

[sparklywater]

dkny, try uninstalling and reinstalling the mod again. It's working for me in 3.7.2.

Im having problems finding the exact code to change in forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template.

You want me to find:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>

Im using 3.7.2

and my code is this:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

As you notice i have an extra variable in my code - imageprefix - if i remove this section and replace it with yours will i have problems with my board ?

[technom8t]

you will have problems if you have any image prefixes set up on your forums, but as you are wanting to use this mod my guess is you don't have prefixes set up, so this will not effect the forum, i had the same code, as you but just replaced it, apparently that extra variable is vbulletin built in way of showing icons, but i couldn't get it to work and find this mod much easier by far :-)

[myown]

what will be search and replace string for vb 3.7.3? structure is quite different.

[rapidphim]

is this mod upgraded to 3.7.3?

Can you please explain on how to use the prefix image for forum icon?

great mod

Killer Mod and works great with Vbulletin 3.8.1

I have been searching forever for a mod like this. Awesome!!

[therogueforums]

Installed and working perfectly on 3.8.2 - thanks for the mod! Nominated!

But OHHHHH... there is no need for this mod- it's built in to vBulletin now... No, screw that. The vB default way is WAY too complicated to set up. This mod is, by far, easier.

[DanielN24]

When you click on the icon on the forum nothing happens.. You can't mark that forum read and it's really ticking my users off.. Any way to fix it? And I searched but couldn't find, is there a newer version that is compatible with 3.8.2?

[Abhik]

Working like charm in 3.8.4

[Kwikms]

And another thing :)

I activated the option to show the forum infos on the forumdisplay with no subs also

http://www.fehler-im-film.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=53
(Herr der Ringe - Die Gef?hrten 2001; R: Peter Jackson; Mit: Noel Appleby, Sean Astin, Sala Baker, u.v.a. in this case).

I want to show the custom icon there as well but didnt get it to work. How can I do that?

I am still looking for a solution, how to fetch "$forum[customicon]" on another page to display the data. Any ideas?

[chick]

Going to install on 3.8.4 thank you

[Delita]

Working like charm in 3.8.4

That's good to know. Will get it too.

Hi guys,
I can't understand why this plug-in is not working to me.

I have Vbulletin 3.8.4

The code in the file "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" is:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].jpg" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

instead for the file "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" the code is:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>.

I've installed the plug-in as explained in the instructions and i've replaced the code with the new one.

Does anyone knows why the plug-in is still not working?

[c.c.]

Anyone get this working for VB4? I desperately need it working! It worked fine for me under VB 3.8.4. I just upgraded to vb4 and it doesn't work. The template edits are very different.

[phoenix1977]

Anyone tryed this mod on VB 4 ?

I have the same code in 3.8.5 and this is what I did which worked:


Step 1: Upload the Plugin via the Product Manager!


Step 2: Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template

Find:
-----

<td class="alt1" width="30" style="border-right-width: 0;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

Replace with:
-------------

<td><img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" /></td>


Step 3: Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template

Find:
-----

<td class="alt2" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>


Replace with:
-------------

<td class="alt2"><img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" /></td>
