[Dean C]

I think that's what this hack does curley :p

[Silenced Soul]

nice one hellsatan. Was looking for something like this :D.

[Chris M]

Thanks:)

I thought it would be pretty simple to do, so I did it:)

Satan

[Chris M]

@Curley - Yes that is what this hack allows:)

You must have the "Custom Images?" option set to yes for it to show the Custom Image;)

Satan

[Silenced Soul]

Any Screen Shots / Demos?

[Chris M]

Unfortunately I know of none:(

I am not a graphical person, so Custom images are not my forte:(

If anyone can provide some though;):)

[sweetmercifulcr]

do the queries have to be run or can it be done without the queries?

[Xelation]

I've done everything right but its not working.. this is what im naming the files

off-forum-10.gif
off-forum-[10].gif

Ive tried both and it doesnt work, can you help me?

[Chris M]

@sweetmercifulcr - Yes the query must be ran:)

@Xelation - I have noticed an error in the instructions:(

In the instructions (the last file change), it says:

=============
Replace with:
=============

if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {
$forum['onoff'].='lock';
}
if ($forum['onimage']=="1") {
$onoffid="$forum[forumid]";
}else{
$onoffid="";
}
That is wrong...

It should be:

=============
Replace with:
=============

if ((!$forumperms['canpostnew'] and $showlocks) or $forum['allowposting']==0) {
$forum['onoff'].='lock';
}
if ($forum['onoffimage']=="1") {
$onoffid="$forum[forumid]";
}else{
$onoffid="";
}

That should correct your problem:)

Satan

[Chris M]

Ok...

I noticed another error:

In the instructions file, in the admin/forum.php changes, change:

makeyesnocode("Use Custom Forum Image?<br>(on.gif & off.gif)","onimage",$forum['onoffimage']);

to

makeyesnocode("Use Custom Forum Image?<br>(on.gif & off.gif)","onoffimage",$forum['onoffimage']);

:)
