[release] Icons for Forums

Author: filburt1
Description: adds a custom icon to forums on forumhome.
Screenshot: next post

This alters your database structure but doesn't add any queries; you'll need to know how to use phpMyAdmin to edit the icons.

[Sephiroth32]

good mod :)

wont use it though

[Cypher720]

wont use it, but nice!

[Nairb]

couldnt you just make it

images/$forum[title].gif

? for the image?

[filburt1]

No, what if you have spaces or other characters in the title?

You could do images/$forum[forumid].gif if you wanted but that doesn't make the filenames very memorable.

It looks exactly like what I've been running at my board (zelaron.com/forums (http://www.zelaron.com/forums)) for several months, minus the larger forumhome icons.

[filburt1]

But that would be a hack.

[Shpook]

Beatiful mod, but im Having a small problem with it....
i edit the

forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost
and
forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost

But can you better explaine how, and where to do this

"ALTER TABLE forum ADD iconhtml VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL AFTER description"

and how exacly do i edit the main database... phpMyAdmin? If so where do i find that....

thx for anyhelp

[filburt1]

I think I'm going to make a simple script to run queries, one moment...

[Shpook]

Perfect, thank you again

i dont suppose there is anyway of putting some text under the gif is there..

and being able to change the text for each gif..

probably not but i thought i'd ask anyway :(

[filburt1]

Just add the appropriate HTML in the database.

[phill2003]

oh how would i go about that then ??

oh and thanks for the quick reply i was going to pop in tomorrow to have a look at the thread :)

[imported_PiotrasG]

nice hack

[:Judge:]

I have to use this one too.

[imported_J.C.]

4. To add icons to forums you must edit the database manually; use phpMyAdmin and insert the HTML for the image to display for each forum in the column "iconhtml."

Is the 'same' icon for every forums?

[mholtum]

This is exactly what I am looking for.. But being a total n00b, I need something simple..
