Forum Icons

[Elmer]

Forum Icons is a product that adds an option in the edit/add new forum page to set a forum icon.

To make it work, you will need to make a template modification, I did try to do it with a plugin, but got frustrated trying but failing to make it work. :D

I promise I will be looking into this so we don't have to edit any template, but in the meantime...

How to Install:


1- Upload the product xml file.
2- Edit forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:
<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace it with:
<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription"><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px;" /></vb:if>{vb:raw forum.description}</p>
<vb:elseif condition="$forum['iconlocation']" /><p class="forumdescription"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></p></vb:if>


If you use it, please mark it as installed :)

[halkum]

I just use HTML in the description. Good template mod though! If it ever releases as a product without a template mod I'll grab it up.

[halkum]

Screw it, installed.

i currently used the html code for 3.8.4.
does this mean we wont be able to use html codes in description on vb4.0?

If you use html markups for the forum title, this is added to the forum description :

How does this prefix thing work then? Do you simply enter the path to an image?

Sub forum link images are not showing properly. I get the red x.

[Greight]

i'm interested too in this issue ... :)

Forum Status images are usually shown alongside the forum in a forum listings to indicate the read status.

This prefix must only contain alphanumerical characters, though the following are also allowed - _ / ., a folder name is also acceptable to be placed within the status icon directory.

The following images are currently in use for status icons, you will need to create images with the specified prefix to match.
forum_link.gif
forum_new.gif
forum_new_lock.gif
forum_old.gif
forum_old_lock.gif

This prefix can be set for each forum in forum manager/edit forum.

Estos iconos son el icono del foro como tal o iconos aparte?

Are those the main forum icons or extra icons?

Thanks in advance

[Merjawy]

i currently used the html code for 3.8.4.
does this mean we wont be able to use html codes in description on vb4.0?

Works fine on 4.0

Other hacks of the like made my forumhome page speed goes way down in the past attempts..

So I've always used the forum discription to add icons and worked great

[footose]

I have modified the template code so that you can put icon's in the category fields of the site also.


Open forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Find <span class="forumtitle">

Insert Above:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']">
<img style="float:left;" src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" />
</vb:if>


Looks like this:

Hello,

Is it possible to make the same mod. like this;

It replace the icons instead of insert a whole new one next to it.

Kind regards

I see it says Version: 4.0.0 RC 4

Does it work on latest vb 4.0 gold? if not , please update!

[Nadeemjp]

I have tried the vb4 version and it seems to be fine and the htkml codes can be used there.
If you want the icon to allign with the description and the heading, then probably you might wanna go ahead and use this hack, but for me, simple html codes work.
for example use the following codes, when describing the name of the forum:


<img src="/cat_icons/games1.png" border="0"> Forum Games

and it should display the icon besides you forum name.
please remember to upload a category of icons and then give the path.

[Bouncer222]

It doesnt state in the description how to actually set the icon you want for each forum , how do I do this?

[acanuck]

You create a folder through ftp say called "icons" inside the images folder

then add the images in there :)

[Bouncer222]

K I had the icons set up like that since vb 3.8.4 since I used a similiar mod like this before, the icons are in an images/icons folder and they are named by the forum id such as: 16.gif 17.gif etc..

But how do I make them show up for each forum that I want them to show up? That is my question.

[Toxic2]

When you make a new forum Name and below is the description, In the Description box

<img src="/cat_icons/games1.png" border="0"> Forum Games

Not sure if it will work in the name, haven't tried, but in the description box it does, you can use Photobucket, tiny pic embed/url code (not the BBC code link) as well

[Bouncer222]

So all I have to do is put that in the description and the icon will show up? If so, what is the point of the modification posted in this mod description?

[Toxic2]

well.....your talking about 2 different ways to get the Icons. The mod is a template edit and the other way is a manual html edit. 2 different ways to accomplish the same thing. Its kinda a hassle to do it manual but you have options

[SoFresh]

Has anyone figured out how to get the icon to the left of both title and description?

[saviola8x]

I am also looking for what MD and another user said earlier to make the icons go to the left instead of under the forum titles. Also making the those icons linkable with the same link as the forum icon.

There must be a way to make the forum name move to the right of the icon, so the icon does not sit under the title.

Just replace the original icons with your own that are found in the "images/statusicon" folder

The fix for subforums should be to add the same code to forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost in the same spot, I think.

This is correct.

Admin cp> forum manager> edit the forum of choice> go all the way to the bottom of the page where it says: Forum Icon Configuration

Add an image to wherever and you can put the address in there.

My question however, is I can only get this to work on the default VB style. When I go to another style, the forum icons no longer show up. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks!

when you say add an image, do you just add in that box the name of the image such as "PC_racing.png" then put that image in the statusicon folder? If that is the case then I'm doing something wrong.

[GreigM]

you will need to add the path to the image

images/statusicons/PV_racing.png

or whatever your path is

[sveinung]

What is a path???

[texasteamplayer]

it would be a lot more convenient if images could be links, instead of paths. That way, album, or attachment images could be used for this on the fly, rather than having to ftp in and transfer images over and over.

[dangerin]

is possible to have an example how to modify the code ti insert images?
and the principal icon of the forum must be ever here or it must be modified in someone mode?

[steve1966]

if you dont mind sharing i would also like to know what you did to fix please

[New Joe]

It would be nice to know how you did that.

[House M.D.]

To make the forum icon sit to the left of the title and description, you need to do this :

Uninstall any previous version and install a fresh copy. Do not make any edits to the mod except for what you see below.

It took a lot of trial and error to get this right - If you like what you see, please make a PayPal donation to mcs@sunwave.net to cover my time in getting this done. Thank you.

1) Install a fresh copy of this mod

2) Open up : Styles and Templates / Style Mananger / Edit Templates / Forum Home Templates / forumhome_forumbit_level2_post


Look for :

<div class="datacontainer">



Add this code after that line :

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;">
<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></a></vb:if>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">




Look for :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>



Replace that line with :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></div>




That's it! - Hit the "Save and Reload" button and your done.

This will show the icon to the left of the title and description. Also, if you hover your mouse over the icon, it will show that board titles name. If you click on the icon, it will take you to that boards location.

I hope you enjoy it - any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what the results will look like :

Thanks House MD, that worked just as you said.
The only real problem with any of this is that this will only show in on Style, day you have 2 or 3 Styles the pictures will only show in the one Style.

Does anyone know how to get over this so pictures would show in say 3 Styles?

[GreigM]

forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost I think for sub forums

[movslow]

No dice here.

It only works on the main forums, does not work on sub forums, or sub forums that are links.

I tried modifying the post as described in the post above in regards to getting it to work w/sub forums, but it did not work.

:confused:

[Extra PC]

nice

how to put the image under forum name like here

www.extra-pc.com/testforum

[movslow]

I was thinking, I'm sure it would be possible, can we have a quick how-to on what is needed to place the icon on the different forums themselves.

(icon here)Title
Forum1
Forum2
Forum3

(icon here)Title2
Forum1
Forum2
Forum3

(icon here)Title3
Forum1
Forum2
Forum3

so on.

Thanks.

For who want to replace the icon instead of a nearby icon:

Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template

Find:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/category_forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" />

Replace:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/><vb:else /><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" /></vb:if>

The forum without private icon will still display status icon. Do the same for forumhome_forumbit_level1_post for your subforum.

If you have forums without post, do again for nopost template.

#moveslow:

You can find on the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

<h2 class="forumtitle" >

Then add before:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/></vb:if>

It's better with small icon and you can controll with css by class, .forumicon controls status icon so if you want to place that position, you should change the class, add new class and edit its style.

[JonoE]

nice

how to put the image under forum name like here

www.extra-pc.com/testforum

Please can someone answer this.

[New Joe]

As this Mod isn't supported it's up to the posters to help out.
So you might wait a long time for things like that.
The mod works and some extras have been mentioned about moving the picture to different places, so I'd just go with what is here for now.

[dangerin]

Thanks but i've done all and the image do not appear.
where you indicate iconlocation i've put my address for example /images/statusicon/forum/xxxxx.jpg or gif or png but i do not see.
Also if i put the address indicated how can i change an icon for every forum? i thought and i've read that it was possible. it's correct?
thanks

[cindy helmond]

not working for me added the path to image (full url) but no icons showing on vb 4.01 any help?
thx

Should use the full path to test. Use IE if you see a red X, it's bad link, if you dont see anything, it's wrong code.

So revert the template and do like my post #119:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1974739&postcount=119

For who want place it nearby the forum description:

Find:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace with:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float:left; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px;" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p><vb:else /><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></vb:if>

Edit the red pixel number to style it fix your design.

Below code is for who wanna make it below the forum description:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float:left; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px;clear: both;" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/></vb:if></vb:if>

[Spiritvn]

ok thx but i have default style of vb 4 what i have to do :

red X ??

It's for default style :)

Just revert the template to default, then re-do it, you can test yourself.

Remember, it's for POSTED FORUM. If your forum without post, it does not use that template, so, post some testing post first.

Again, If s1 need help, give the forum i will check if what u r doing wrong.


---------

The X within IE display means WRONG LINK IMAGE. Firefox does not display the wrong link so you hard to know if you got the wrong.

I only have a product for the resize of images that i've also disabled but is ever the same result.

Did you read and do as i said?

[dangerin]

This is included in vbulletin by default. There is no need to use a hack to show forum icons.

What do you mean?
I'm interested becaus i'm trying from two days to change icons but i do not see nothing . ..

Yeas read and done bu without result

To make the forum icon sit to the left of the title and description, you need to do this :

Uninstall any previous version and install a fresh copy. Do not make any edits to the mod except for what you see below.

It took a lot of trial and error to get this right - If you like what you see, please make a PayPal donation to mcs@sunwave.net to cover my time in getting this done. Thank you.

1) Install a fresh copy of this mod

2) Open up : Styles and Templates / Style Mananger / Edit Templates / Forum Home Templates / forumhome_forumbit_level2_post


Look for :

<div class="datacontainer">



Add this code after that line :

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;">
<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></a></vb:if>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">




Look for :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>



Replace that line with :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></div>




That's it! - Hit the "Save and Reload" button and your done.

This will show the icon to the left of the title and description. Also, if you hover your mouse over the icon, it will show that board titles name. If you click on the icon, it will take you to that boards location.

I hope you enjoy it - any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what the results will look like :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2014/03/62.png


I've also done all that is written in this post but without result.
if i change the principal incon that appear in imges/statusicon it appear but i can not manage evry forum how i could with this great mod but unsupported.
Is possible for the futur to indicate in a mod that is unsupporte so i do not download and install more? thanks to all and i hope to have solution about this problem.

[messengermatt]

I need some help here, i installed the mod and it didnt work i also searched for the specific code and it wasnt found in the style im using which is just a normal style with a different colour.

I posted a few posts back about my issue and nobody helped me out but sub forums support would be a good thing as thats what i need

[Gamempire]

i made an interesting change to the template modification, different from that this coder use in this mod:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235240

opacity and different forum icons for each forum..

however, you did a great job for the product, Elmer :)

[Aclikyano]

how do i remove where it says LAST POST by where the name of the section is?

[Aclikyano]

I have modified the template code so that you can put icon's in the category fields of the site also.


Open forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost

Find <span class="forumtitle">

Insert Above:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']">
<img style="float:left;" src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" />
</vb:if>
Looks like this:

hey anyway to remove where it says LAST POST???

[movslow]

#moveslow:

You can find on the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

It's better with small icon and you can controll with css by class, .forumicon controls status icon so if you want to place that position, you should change the class, add new class and edit its style.

Thanks for the reply, but this isn't what I was needing.

I've enclosed a screenshot so you can see what/where I am referring to.

http://movslow.com/stuff/forumicons.jpg

My 2 questions are:

1.) The RED underlines are the sub-forum icons, is it possible to place something there?

2.) The RED X, is the category description, is it possible to place something there as well?

Thanks again for your help.

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></a></vb:if>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">




Look for :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>



Replace that line with :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></div>




That's it! - Hit the "Save and Reload" button and your done.

This will show the icon to the left of the title and description. Also, if you hover your mouse over the icon, it will show that board titles name. If you click on the icon, it will take you to that boards location.

I hope you enjoy it - any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what the results will look like :

Thank you very much, House M.D.! :)

This worked perfectly on my side. To make the space even on both sides of the forum icon, I changed margin-right: to 15 px instead of 5.

[Pro-eSports.com]

Someone said that vBulletin already has this integrated by default, is this true? Because then I don't need this mod.

[dangerin]

is not the same thing.. you can chamnge the icon on the root indicated reading it with firebug on your site but this mod has a different result and you change every icon in every forum.
Regret that for me do not work from a lot of day also if i executed all instructions but must be a problem of my Vb that i do not know

[Rafa-el]

Sorry for the question, but, where is the Plugin Option? ACP-??

Thanks.

Sorry for the question, but, where is the Plugin Option? ACP-??

Thanks.

ACP - PLUGINS & PRODUCTS - MANAGE PRODUCTS - [Add/Import Product]

[Rafa-el]

I mean the Option to configure the plugin.

[angedelamort]

I saw this plugin and said to myself it's great. Just before I did an install I read the whole thread and someone said to write html in the description (AdminCP -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Description).

so if you just put that at the beginning of your text:

<img src="path/to/icons/your_icon.png" align="left" border="0" />My forum description.


it does the same thing if I'm not mistaken? Or maybe this plugin does more? So no need to install a plugin or change any templates. Except if you want something like some people requested, to put the icon to take the full size, it may be an interesting plugin.

[dangerin]

but with this code in template forum you can use AN icon for A forum and with this mod ( if work ) is possible to have a different icon for a different forum.

[saghir]

anybody can help, for 2 questions :

1. how to remove "LAST POST" ?
2. how to align child forum, to the above ?

thank you

[Jabong82]

I don't know if this would help anyone, but I couldn't get this code to work at first. Then I tried it on the "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" instead of the level 2 template and it worked for me.

I have my directory installed on the home page (no forum directory). Give it a whirl and see if it works for you. Both House MDs and the OPs worked here. Worse case scenario if it doesn't work you can revert the template. Good luck.

[duditas]

This addon is reallly nice and useful. It works fine for me, thanks a lot. :)

This.

I was starting to think I was going crazy, theres no need for this mod. Unique forum icons, as in... a different icon per forum is a default feature.

Admin CP->Forum Manager ->Prefix for Forum Status Images

:eek:

News to me!:D:o

tbf with this mod you can use both

[Toxic2]

@ skaterext disable all Marcos1 Mods before you try to make any major changes on your bulletin, after you made your changes or added a mod, then enable Your Morcos1 mods, I have the same problem. Hope that works for you, the Key is, if you see a mod Name such as Marcos in a db error, it normally is a indication of a mod conflict. Not sure what this is "'Toplantı Odası'," but if it is a Mod you may need to disable it also. You also may have to disable all mods as well, but start with the ones I mentioned and see how it goes.

Hi, should be possible to add the forum images on the right?

To make the forum icon sit to the left of the title and description, you need to do this :

Uninstall any previous version and install a fresh copy. Do not make any edits to the mod except for what you see below.

It took a lot of trial and error to get this right - If you like what you see, please make a PayPal donation to mcs@sunwave.net to cover my time in getting this done. Thank you.

1) Install a fresh copy of this mod

2) Open up : Styles and Templates / Style Mananger / Edit Templates / Forum Home Templates / forumhome_forumbit_level2_post


Look for :

<div class="datacontainer">



Add this code after that line :

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;">
<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></a></vb:if>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">




Look for :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>



Replace that line with :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></div>

For some reason this mod doesn't work for me. I'm using vB 4.0.3 and the image doesn't show up even when the path is correctly.
Instead of showing the image it just shows the forum name again in the description (on the place where the icon should be).

Please help me.

For my vbulletin 4.0.3:

Icons in sub-forum is possible?

Could you share more detailed instructions on how you did it for your australiabound site? The icons look good there!

Why not just use the BUILT in method for Forum Status Icons.

[wanno]

Another much better solution is this:

In forum manager --> forum --> Subject
Put in the name field before the forum category name this code:

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/iconname.jpg" border="0" />

and you have icons in all subforums as well.

[darrenjdoc]

I had this working on the other build of 4.0 but now when i have upgraded to the latest build it wont work when i do it like this -

acp>forum manager>name of forum and then where it says Forum Icon Configuration i add in the path - images/statusicon/bin.png where bin in my image.

The statusicon hasnt moved when the site was updated.

Anybody any ideas ?

[darrenjdoc]

[texasteamplayer]

Change :

<div style="float: left;">


To :

<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">

change? the second code (with the width 90%) is what you have in your original instructions.

I also have the icon sitting on top of the forum title.

updates?

I can't get this to work. I installed it, then went to forum manager -> edit forum -> forum icon configuration and put in the link. Nothing. I tried putting the link in a few different ways. Nothing shows up.
If I put the link in the address bar it shows up so I know the link is good.

[denman75]

its not working anymore after updating vb version to 4.1.4 and new template update

[trackpads]

For who want to replace the icon instead of a nearby icon:

Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template

Find:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/category_forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" />

Replace:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/><vb:else /><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" /></vb:if>

The forum without private icon will still display status icon. Do the same for forumhome_forumbit_level1_post for your subforum.

If you have forums without post, do again for nopost template.

#moveslow:

You can find on the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

<h2 class="forumtitle" >

Then add before:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/></vb:if>

It's better with small icon and you can controll with css by class, .forumicon controls status icon so if you want to place that position, you should change the class, add new class and edit its style.

Awesome and thanks!!

[Samhayne-STS]

I have it working fine on vb 4.1.5p1. You probably need to go back in and re-do your edits to the template, if the update stomped them.

Love the icons everthing worked well until 4.1.5 :)

I have tried this on 4.1.7 but now it replaces the new post icons with your thread icons any ideas please ?

Thanks

[Southernphuk]

It is possible to add the icon and title of the parent forum to a thread. Just add this code where you want it in SHOWTHREAD


<div id="ThreadForum" class="pagetitle">
<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['foruminfo']['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px;" /></vb:if>
<h1><span class="forumtitle">{vb:rawphrase forum}: <a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw GLOBALS.forum}}">{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.title}</a></span></h1>
<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['foruminfo']['description']"><p class="description">{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.description}</p></vb:if>
</div>

I placed it just above {vb:raw poll} so it appears just under the breadcrumb.
