Forum Category Icons (Advanced)

[Dark_Wizard]

This is a hack that will add icons to your forum categories on the forum home page.

History: I was the originator of this hack back in the vBulletin 1.x days and continued this in vb 3.7.x. I have had numerous requests to port this to vb 4.x.x so here you are.

Please click install if you want support for this mod and to encourage me to continue adding features!

Enjoy!

You can find nice icons here (http://www.iconspedia.com), here (http://www.vistaicons.com/) and here (http://www.crystalxp.net/en.htm).

Thanks to LatinoCheats for this (http://findicons.com/) link.

Changelogs:

1.2.0:

* Option to change icon location i.e. After Status Icon, Under Forum Title or Replace Status Icon.
* Now contains a dropdown listing your icons in the folder so you just select and save.
* Displays icon in forum manager when editing a forum that contains an icon.
* Change icon width and height so you need to only upload one size icon.
* Set icon position so you can center the icon when using smaller icons.
* Dropdown of transparency settings for icons used to replace status icons when indicating "Old Posts".
* Allows you to mark forum/subforum as read.
* Now shows locked icons (lock icon added to download and this overlays the status icons when indicating a locked forum).


1.2.1:

* Now works for Mark Forum/SubForum as read!


1.2.2:

* Fixed: template bug.
* Added: Now shows locked icons (lock icon added to download and this overlays the status icons when indicating a locked forum.)


1.2.3:

* Added: Automatic Template Edits!
* Added: Only jpg, gif and png icons allowed. (extensions checked in forum edit).
* Fixed: Mark Forum Read for specific forum/subforum.
* Fixed: Now shows non-transparent status icon when "Show Locks" is enabled.


1.2.4:

* Fixed: Users Viewing. (This is working on a default vb style, others styles may have issues)
* Fixed: Mark Read should now be fixed, working fine on my end.
* Fixed: Icon not appearing when "Forum Description" disabled.


2.0.0

* Icon size can be set either globally or set per forum, setting is in vb options.
* When selecting an icon in forum manager the selected icon now shows to the right of the dropdown so you can see what you are selecting.
* If your upgrading from 1.2.4 and had to do manual template edits then you will need to revert the templates and redo the edits.


Upgrades: For those upgrading just make sure when you import the product you select "Allow Overwrite". You will also need to revert your templates (only for users of version 1.2.2 or earlier) and then follow the instructions as outlined in the install.html file.

Note: Before you ask, yes this works with all browsers. (Tested on FF, IE8, IE7, Chrome, Safari and Opera) ;)

IMPORTANT! If you use the "Auto Template" feature of this mod and it doesn't work then you MUST do the manual template edits outlined in the install.html. This plugin was created using a default vbulletin style.

If you like this mod than please nominate for "MOTM".

Donations are gladly accepted!

[Boofo]

Glad to see you back in action, sir. ;)

[KURTZ]

need instructions ... :p

[Boofo]

It works, but it seems to be wanting to replace the status icon instead of showing up beside it. I double-checked everything. Any ideas, sir? ;)

[Sunka]

This is for subforums, not category

[Boofo]

Not according to the pic in the first post.

[Front Range]

install.txt is in the download

Wierd. PM me your site and I'll check it out. Next version will have the option to replace the Status Icons.

[COL NIL SATIS]

tagged....this looks great

[Charlie98902]

Sweet tagged for when there is an update to replace the status (default) icons. :)

Working on that now... ;)

[Charlie98902]

Thanks a plugin is better than a manual edit especially when there is an update to vbulletin then you may need to re-edit your edit again. :)

[Dark_Wizard]

Thanks a plugin is better than a manual edit especially when there is an update to vbulletin then you may need to re-edit your edit again. :)

Edit....this won't be done. After thinking about this carefully if any style change or upgrade to vb is performed the auto edit would no longer work and would force the end user to manually edit it anyway.

[Boofo]

Wierd. PM me your site and I'll check it out. Next version will have the option to replace the Status Icons.
I think that is a great idea. Allowing you to add or replace the icons.

The only area I have added any icons is the admin area. I don't want to add them any where else until I get this resolved. Here is a pic.

Looks like you did a "replace" instead of an "add after"....recheck your forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template and see if you have the following:


<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="" />

Bob, that was the first thing I checked. It is there right above the code the instructions said to add.

Ok, I am trying to finish the new version and let's see if it fixes your issue.

[your24hourstore]

seems to be a lot of interest in these icon replacements latley

so is this for thread icons or subforum icons ?

[KURTZ]

install.txt is in the download

so this isn't a plug-in but it's a normal template edits hack, correct?

[merk_aus]

correct

[Boofo]

That is not correct as it has a product xml file to install for the settings and what-not. The template edit is only one part of the mod.

[sonny1]

no icons in the download. Only xml, read me and pic.png. I thought there would be some icons. :(

[merk_aus]

your a big boy there are many places you can go to get icons -> why would the original author add like sport icons as it would be useless to you if you ran a gaming forum wouldn't it.

[Dark_Wizard]

so this isn't a plug-in but it's a normal template edits hack, correct?

This has plugins but has one template edit.

iconspedia.com is a great place for icons, check them out. Link added above....


Sorry for the delay on the new version but the wife and I were invited (last minute) on a trip this weekend and after my recent issue with a heart attack I needed the time away. I will have a new and updated version soon.

[Dark_Wizard]

New update...check mod above.

[AURFSCAN]

WOW

thanks, now Ive got more work to do......... :rolleyes:

also good icon site ... cheers

[sonny1]

thanks

Hm Im looking for an option before forum title like my forum, (see the letters) http://www.hertha-chat.de/forum/forum.php

can you integrate this? When I klick the icons, will the threads also mark als readed?

[Jacob_ITAPros]

Nice work. If there were an "Add URL?" option to allow for the icon to become "clickable" and behave as a hyperlink I'd be highly interested.

Tagged for future releases.

Can you elaborate a little more? Not exactly sure what you are asking.

[texasteamplayer]

really great.

[texasteamplayer]

Can you elaborate a little more? Not exactly sure what you are asking.

probably he means if you click on the icon,it will bring up the forum. or perhaps all unread posts in that forum (would be useful).

Also, I'm specifying that I want my 90x30px icons to be allowed to be 90px in the mod (you say the default is 48)...however it's not observing that. I set it at 90px, I hit save, and it remains at 48px.

issue?

[texasteamplayer]

recall, if you currently double click a forum icon (originals) it will mark all new posts in that forum as read. You should add this (or replicate the original function) to your mod.

This is actually only when you select "Under Forum Title". I will update the mod so it works for all locations.

This is being looked at for the next version.

[Dark_Wizard]

New version just released. I made changes to provide more granular image sizing (width and height) and added css positioning relative to top so the icon can be centered when using smaller than 48x48px icons. All images will work with the icon size not like earlier versions.

Mark forums read will be coming in a later version.

[texasteamplayer]

good changes. I'll updated in a sec.

also, noticed that the icons work when looking at the full forum index, like here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

but if you bring up an individual forum category (in this case, teamplayer media), the icon's aren't shown for the forum categories.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[texasteamplayer]

and templates have to be reverted and updated every time? with every update? that's odd.

why?

Easy fix. I'm on my way out the door but if you want to look at it until I get back then look at template "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" for the changes.

[Dark_Wizard]

Here is your fix...

Open the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template

Only if your not sure of the updates...just compare to what is in the install.txt to your template.

I figured it was, and I was going to try this. I would assume you'd want everyone to know of this, since I'd think most people woudl want an icon to be present anytime that forum has an icon next to it (index, category, and subforum view, etc).

Also, what about opacity in regards to read/unread posts? That's one of the other functions of those icons (like doubleclicking to mark as read) that most people are going to want. I know my users are already asking about it. Please add such an ability.

like this guy's mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=235240

[Charlie98902]

This was a nice mod and still is but with the mass template edits now I am not sure I want this.

Opacity is already there and I will add it to the next version where you can change it. I already added the changes to leve1_post in the file attached when I posted the fix for you.

As for the read/unread I need to figure out what vb is doing and add this functionality, it will come just need to spend some time on it.

[Ken Sanders]

I installed this earlier today "before" the new update and am having some problems getting the icons to show next to the main icon. If I replace the icon, all seems well, but for some reason I cant get them to show next to the icon.
Do I need to update counters or optimize any tables before I see these?

[Dark_Wizard]

What mass template edits? This is only 2 template edits and is very simple.

Nothing else needed. Did you check your template edits? Can you provide me a url to see why you are having an issue? Lastly, it could be something with the style you are using if it is very different template wise from the default style.

Using default style.
Here is the URL http://3dcadjewelry.com/forum/forum.php
Only using it on the sub forums Cad design programs and milling machines to this point.

Nope, only for formbit_level2 (at least that is what was in the instructions.txt
Will take a look at the link.

Still stuck on only replacing, but they do show up immediately now :)...not sure where to go from here. I'll double check to make sure I inserted everything correctly.

Thanks Dark_Wizard,
Love the mod, but I guess I am doing something wrong in order to get the icons to display next to the regular icons...Still don't know what I am doing wrong. Double checked all the template mods and all seems well.
Will use as is, and hopefully figure out what brain fart I am having to get this to work the way I want it to. :)

INSTALLED & NOMINATED!

Great work with this mod Dark Wizard!:D

I installed this mod on my test board and everything work out fine on the first try. I like the site you listed, iconspedia.com but I decided on creating my own transparent png images. I made a slight change however on where I wanted the cat-icon to show. Take a look at the attached image below.

I wanted the icons I made to float over the default status icons of vB. I know a bit weird LOL. But if you notice in the attached image below, the vB status icon still works of course and pretty much shows if a thread contains new posts or not. It shows really good behind the icons I created.

Again, thanks for this mod!

Note:
Testing on the latest versions of IE8, FF, Chrome and Safari. Installed on vB v4.03

Actually it's an issue with IE. FF, Opera and Safari are not the problem. If you look at your templates, look at what vb has done, they have css templates specifically for IE. :(

which is good cause I saw there is an update, will update it later today.

Thank you DW, Great Job :)

magically runs correctly! :D :D thanks ;)

[Boofo]

I have decided that I hate this mod. I have been up for the last 8 hours getting icons together and just when I think I have it all set up right, I see a better icon somewhere and end up doing the switch and replace game with all my icons. Damn you, Bob! ;)

It's working great, though, sir. ;)

I have decided that I hate this mod. I have been up for the last 8 hours getting icons together and just when I think I have it all set up right, I see a better icon somewhere and end up doing the switch and replace game with all my icons. Damn you, Bob! ;)

It's working great, though, sir. ;)

share to us Bobby!!!!! :D

edit: i'll share something for you :p

there are too many icons on the web Bobby ... so it's really difficult that 2 sites looks similar ... :)

[texasteamplayer]

updated.

so now, if I set the icons to be 100x100, this happens (in google chrome).

Also, still no clicking to "mark forum as read" function. Enabled yet?

[texasteamplayer]

I can edit some of the forum icon templates to get the sizes right, but your mod should do this itself...right?

forumicon and forumiconbox size edits?

vBulletin sets the div size, the only way to do it would be to redo your CSS completely for those templates....it would require alot of work.

I wouldn't suggest icons larger than 60x60 pixels. Sorry.

I will get this done but I need some time.

[Boofo]

You could probably get away with using 64x64 icons as this mod will resize those. I have tried it and it does work. But getting true 48x48 PNGs transparent usually work better.

[Boofo]

I will get this done but I need some time.
Take your time, no biggie. The transparency is working good enough for now.

I would have to look at his/her hack to see what they did....

Edit...what I can do is allow total positioning of the icon for situations like this, you would be able to control the top, left, right and bottom positioning if needed. See attachment below...

i've restored your admin account mate, feel free to make any test there ... :)

however, i've an additional request, can you add an option for the project tools too?

[Dark_Wizard]

Update:

This now let's you mark forums/subforums as read. I have also provided more granular control over icon positioning if needed.

Enjoy!

[Dark_Wizard]

This would have to be a seperate hack as Project is a seperate product.

Please... no more template changes for a while. ;)

I did make one change for my site that you might want to add in the next version though. In the "old posts" section of each template edit, I added this to the 'alt='

{vb:rawphrase forum_contains_no_new_posts}


That way there is something there when you mouseover the icon. Users might think there is nothing there when there are new posts if they don't see anything there on mouseover when there are no new posts.

Also, are the icons centered automatically now? I left the settings at default and they are centered vertically now.

I followed the vb standard when indicating posts but I can add that in the next version. Icons by default should (I use that term lightly as I have no control over other hacks.) be centered if left at default. The next version will also allow for the lock icon when indicating locked posts.

[Boofo]

They are centered horizontally on vertically now at default. Before I had to add some padding for the vertical setting. That is why I was curious if you had changed something to cause it to center vertically now.

The no new posts idea was just for users who are not used to not seeing the default icons.

I got my icons loaded up, but the icons are blurry. What did I do wrong?

The ones that are blurry, I don't know, but they are in .ico format. I downloaded some 256k .png icons and they worked good, no blurriness.

One question though, how do I update this mod? I'm really new to vbulletin, but I managed to install the mod myself. Do I just download the mod again and copy/paste the code again and then upload the xml file or just upload the new xml file? Thanks

with this often of updates, you really need to start doing template edits built into the plugin. Becoming a pain to have to keep reverting and redoing the changes.

I would love to do auto template edits but look how complicated this hack has become. This should be the last update unless I missed something that would cause a big problem for everyone.

Hmmmm...there is a way though to make this easier. I can have it replace the entire 2 templates with it's own templates.

[texasteamplayer]

you'll need at least one more update.

when you double click on any forum icon, it marks the ENTIRE forum as read, not just that specific forum/subforum. the orignial vB function just marks that one forum read.

The lock ions work as advertised, Bob. Nice add-on. I do have a question, though. Shouldn't the icons show without transparency to unregistered users? They are showing the default 50% for unregistered users.

[EnderNolan]

I went live with them today. Some members have asked if they can turn them off. Maybe a feature that allows members to activate or deactivate them at their discretion. Nothing that has to be added immediately, but just a thought.

Also, maybe if you could make it so you could set the icon location for each skin, one skin have them replace the status icon and another under the forum title, for example.

Also, what does this feature adjust in the options settings?
Forum/SubForum Category Icon Positioning
Set this option to specify which Category Icon is to be positioned.

I've set it to all of the options and I don't see any change.

Hmmm, style dependant, I would have to think that one out. As for member activate/deavtivate which piece are you talking about?

The "Forum/SubForum Category Icon Positioning" is just that, it allows you to specify which one you are needing to re-position in case of a hack you are using that is causing them to skew off a bit. 99.9% of the time this option won't be needed but is there just in case. ;)

[Boofo]

It sounds like he is asking for an option for individual users to turn the forum icons on and off. I don't think that would be a very good idea myself, but to each his own.

[EnderNolan]

Yes, Boofo is correct. While I like this mod, some of the members felt it was too 'busy' for their liking. As such, they wanted to know if they could turn off the feature. Right now, I think to work around it, I will create duplicate skins and leave the code out of one version so they can select a skin that doesn't have this feature in the code.

[Boofo]

The only bad thing about that is if they visit other forums that have this mod, they will expect the same treatment in return. I, for one, won't use something like that as when they get used to certain icons for certain areas, it will actually be easier for them to get around the forums.

[Dark_Wizard]

Right now, I think to work around it, I will create duplicate skins and leave the code out of one version so they can select a skin that doesn't have this feature in the code.

I think this is the best option, just use the same skin but rename it and let the members choose. To code something like this would take considerable time which I am not really willing to put into this mod as I have already added many, many features that surpass the others. Sorry.

[Trek]

Just installed, works great!

Only suggestion I have at this point is a way to make it so that the icons are theme specific. Right now they dump into the /images folder. I'd like it to be /images/{theme} so I can have different icons per theme. Not a huge issue really though. =)

Installed and all that good stuff.

Bob, any word yet on the unregistered users seeing the transparent icons?

Didn't get to it yet. Had many personal things to do yesterday. I will get to it today.

Edit...not sure this is doable. The way the lock icons work in my hack is the status icon is set as a background image and the lock overlays it. I just tried to make it work. One thought is to not show the icons and use the default instead for unregistered users.

I was referring to only the transparent part of it, the rest needs to stay the same. The icons shouldn't be transparent for unregistered users as they don't have the read markers, do they?

Nice idea...not sure how to implement it since developers that design skins, styles etc...put their status icons into different locations i.e. images/skin name/statusicon or cpstyles/skin name/statusicon. There is no consistency....

One way is to move the icons to a folder under the statusicon folder and then set it in the forum manager per style/skin...let me think on this a bit.

Anyone else looking for this feature?

[Dark_Wizard]

Update: Version 1.2.3 coming soon.

* Added: Automatic Template Edits!
* Added: Only jpg, gif and png icons allowed. (extensions checked in forum edit).
* Fixed: Mark Forum Read.
* Fixed: Non-Transparent Status Icon when "Show Locks" is enabled.

No, they can just name the icons according to the skin. Like for styleid 3, you would name the icons iconname_3. I like the directory how it is now.

so we need to revert the postbit templates?

ok, then what are the 'automatic templates'?

[Dark_Wizard]

ok, then what are the 'automatic templates'?

"Auto Templates" means that the mod will do the edits for you so all you need to do is revert the templates back since you are using an older version, then select "Yes" to "Auto Templates" in the settings and it replaces the contents with what is needed in the templates through a plugin.

[Boofo]

Does it replace the whole template or just the code changes like in the install file?

ps. sorry for the previous post, i mean the forumhome templates not the postbit ... :D

Orginally it was to replace the whole template but it only replaces what is needed as you see in the product xml file....

@ Dark_Wizard: need an improvement (only for the 'after status icon' setting) if i need to put an rectangular image your product resizes it (example 48x48) i need an option that i can set forum by forum the width or the height of a single image ...

example: http://www.fniv.it/board/forum.php check the tekken6 image, originally is rectangular ...

In the options you can set the size in width and height and the default value is 48x48 pixels.

As for forum by forum not sure I really want to do that now as it would require more coding and forcing anyone wanting to update to make changes again...if it's a big request then I will do it.

I upgraded to the new release and now no icons show in my drop down list. I'm running vbulletin 4.0.4. I went in and reverted the templates and copy and pasted in the install file.

works like a charm.

I would suggest clarifying the instructions for those with previous versions installed.

Simply revert the modified templates to their originals, import the product (allowing overwrite), and then go into the options menu for the mod, and select auto-template edits. Save. Done.

If you selected "Auto Templates" and have modified your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post & forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates then you need to do the manual edits instead as outlined in the install.html included with the mod.

Please do not post "It's not working" without more info, I cannot read your mind.

Exactly as DW Said, post info about your problem so the Author or anybody else can help you out.

BTW, I'm running vB4.0.4 & It's working perfectly ;)

Updated images to reflect new features.

sorry, but if I have a vb version 4.0.4 I can instalarre automatically or should I also modify the code files forumhome_forumbit_level1_post "and" forumhome_forumbit_level2_post "?

thanks

If your templates aren't modded try the "Auto Templates", if after you try that and have selected icons for the forums and don't see anything then you would need to do the edits manually as outlined in the install.html file.

First, this is a wonderful modification and I've already nominated it for MOTM.

Second, when I double click on a forum's icon, it marks all the forums' posts read, not only one forum.

Note: I've chosen "replace status icons" and "category Icon As Status Icon" options.

Thank you very much.

@ Dark_Wizard: i think there is a small styling issue with the 'users viewing' ... can you fix it? :)

Your talking about where the viewing is located? If so I'll look into it.

[LuisManson]

does the "mark read" bug has been fixed?

[Dark_Wizard]

does the "mark read" bug has been fixed?

No release yet. I am working on a few other things but it will be done soon.

[DieselTruck]

For the forums that you don't assign a icon to, how can you change the default? I tried just overwriting the default with a different image (images/statusicons) but it doesn't seem to be working.

[Dark_Wizard]

I just tried this on my forum and it works fine. Did you name the icon exactly as the others are?

[Dark_Wizard]

Been busy working on other things and I will get to the fixes tomorrow.....

After installed this the "who's online" displays very weird places that my members is visiting:

PS. Now you guys see the negative effect by dont having an automatical resize feature of enclosed pictures. I have asked about this but no one seems interested in fixing this. Never had this problems in phpBB3.

I think you posted this in the wrong thread. This cannot affect "Who's Online" as it doesn't touch any of that code and as a side note I just verified this on my site. Lastly, post a link to your site.

Well im gonna give this a whirl it looks pretty good Mr Wizzy

[Dark_Wizard]

Thank you!

This has been fixed and will be available in next update.

Note: This has been tested on a default style! I tested this on several other styles and it didn't work on one (1) of them so please keep this in mind.

Hey Bob, I finally got around to installing this today. very nice but it conflicts with Farcaster's RSVP mod. Funny thing is I turned it off, the custom icons remained and the RSVP works again.

[ccozkaraca]

Excellent Mod, Thanks for all the work and time put into this mod!

Actually Farcaster's mod conflicts as his Auto Templates isn't done correctly. His worked fine in vb 3.8.x but it isn't done correctly for vb 4.x.x.

Hello friend! I have a big doubt. I installed the mod.

Now I have icons now

Where the climb and that folder? Or if I have to create one.

2 ? I have the configuration only in "vBulletin Options -> Forum Category Icons" But I see no options to put an icon for each forum or in the right pane does not appear.

And forumhome_postbit1 and postbit2 modifications, which appear in the "install.txt" give me errors on the subject, so I reverted.

I wonder where is the option to put an icon for each forum and replace any that is by default.

Thank you very much, I await your response.

You need to create the folder you want for your icons as outlined in the install.html file and then set it in the options. Adding an icon to the forum is done when you edit the forum and you will see it at the bottom.

Thanks for the important clarification. :up:

[LatinoCheats]

Perfect! hehe silly me!. I had not seen the bottom and less configure option.

I see that this mod is great! Too brutal.

Are all set and CSS editing icons shrink and separate, so distinct.

Size, pixel, everything perfect and personalized. If it's worth and is very good. Thanks for making life colors, programmer! Installed and nominated. (Y)

There is a small but weird error. When I double click on a status icon, it marks the forum read but enters the category that this forum belongs. How can I avoid this to happen?

Note : I'm using "auto templates" and "replace status icons" options.

Thank you very much. :)

very nice mods :)
installed ;)

[Charis]

That's indeed an excellent add on.

Ευχαριστώ! ( -> Thank you! )

A minor issue:
The name of the icon must not contain spaces!
eg.: "download 48.png" is not Ok. We should use a name like "download_48.png" instead.

[Blooded]

Cant make it work :s install everything put the pic but then it just wont work :s

try to get this location the pic was 1.png

/images/statusicon/1.pngforum_new-48.png

[DaPro]

I wish this worked for the small sub-forum icons. It doesn't :(

[ozzy47]

Excellent mod, been looking for something like this for awhile, rated 5 stars!!

[markblair]

I installed this but when I went to the Forum Manager I get the following errors.

Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in [path]/admincp/forum.php(240) : eval()'d code on line 27

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/forum.php(240) : eval()'d code on line 28 Not sure what was missed as I only got to the part where I import the XML file.

[markblair]

My fault. Apparently I just had to go a little further in the steps to get everything working correctly. :) Installed

[TheSupportForum]

this works for the current 4.0.5 version of vBulletin,

however i would like the subforum icons to be shown in forumdisplay/subforum, all subforums are showing the default subforum image as shown in the screenshot

this is where i want the images showing is it possible ?

[TazDevilLooney]

Hi Dark Wizard,

Love hack you've made, Keep up the good work.

Is there anyway to change to main domain name?
I would like to serve the icons from a cookieless domain.

http://mysite.com/images/
to lets say
http://images.static.com/images/

Just need the icons served from another address if this is possiable.

Thankyou for your time.

Taz
