Ok, how would you do it for each forum without a hack? ;)

[Zachery]

Ok, how would you do it for each forum without a hack? ;)its nothing more than a small trick :) two ways to do it i guess

for your path to your forum icon
youd use

$stylevar[statusicon]/$forumid/ :)

or
$stylevar[statusicon]/$forumid(rest of the img extension i dun remember atm).gif :)

[MrNase]

nice but it could be done via conditionals as you can see on www.sportboard.de :)

[Alien]

I'd like to go the conditionals route, can you quote the code you use?

Thanks man. :D

Mind sharing how? ;)

[gmarik]

So it's the sutom on/off images hack.
Could you lower the alpha transparency to the off buttons and a 100% allpha to the on, the new threads in thge place of on.gif and off.gif - just one gif and two states of visibility with the help of CSS.

[sabret00the]

Mind sharing how? ;)as soon as i find out or get enough energy to write the conditional i will.

but to get the images to display it will just be "images/misc/$forumid.gif"

[Boofo]

Ok, great! Thank you, sir. ;)

[nhochochack]

who's known link to download the "icons" anh "smiles"
For VBB?

[sypher_again]

thx it's a good job , ;)

You dont need a hack for this. You just have to edit two templates, and this can be achived. You can even have both on and off status icons.

[gmarik]

It would be better to have JUST one icon, with different trasparency when on and off ...

gmarik, thats only just more work, then you have to encorporate a bit of code in conjunction with GD to do this and not all servers have GD, this is very simple and effective. Having more than 1 icon is more versatile anyway.

You can use dhtml/javascript to change the transparency too, dont really need GD. GD would be the radiculas way of doing this.

<if condition="($forum[parentid] == XX) OR ($forum[parentid] == XX)"><img src="images/forumhome/$forum[forumid].gif" alt="" border="0" filter:alpha(opacity=80); -moz-opacity: 0.6;" align="left" /></if>here you go boofo, forgot you were after this.

[Boofo]

You'd have to write this line of code for each forum then, right? That could get pretty long if you want to use different images for each forum. ;)

nope just add it to your "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template, the most you'd have to do is have the images in the right directory and named correctly.

[Boofo]

What is this for then?

<if condition="($forum[parentid] == XX)

[sabret00the]

it's for if you wanted all the forums in the bears den to bear an image, instead of all the forums on the forumhome.

[Boofo]

How did you know about the Bear's Den? Have you been peeking? ;)

Ahhh, ok, that makes sense now. Thank you for explaining it to me. ;)

[sabret00the]

i find it's best to take a look at mods sites, but also it's easier to explain if you can relate to it ;) so no problem :)

Not for me. Maybe the author can check this?

This is almost totaly a template mod, not even worth hacking

I do not agree. With this hack you're able to enter the img url directly during the creation of the board.
There is no need to touch the template again and again.
Second is that I am using for example three styles. Making this working with template hacking means to do the changing always three times.

if they're parent styles then it's only one setting

and also if your images are in the correct folder and named as the forumid then it's just a simple matter of changing images should you want to change the image rather than edit the templates, but each tot heir own i guess :)

[msimplay]

nope just add it to your "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template, the most you'd have to do is have the images in the right directory and named correctly.
do i replace


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


to get this working and then replace make images for each forum id ?

Hi, I have installed this hack and like it's ease of use. However I have a forum that is set to "not act as a forum" and still need the image to show, but when the option not act as forum is selected the image doesn't appear, help! :)

I have not installed this yet, but there is 2 templates

forumhome_forumbit_level1_xxxx
forumhome_forumbit_level2_xxxx

This hack prob. edited only one? If so add the variable for the image to show up into the other template.

[EDDIE!]

if I make it so pictures show on the forumbit through each forum's description by using HTML, how would I make it so the pictures only show on some skins but not on others? I know it would involve conditionals like <if condition="($styleid==17)"> but when I tried that, it didn't work. I am confused now. Please help!

[ged]

It never works. :)
