[Release] Category Images

[SaintDog]

Author: SaintDog
Description: This will allow you to add images to the left and right of your category (as originally made for vB 2.x.x).
Demo: See attachement

Please fully read the txt file before asking for support, the directions are very easy and you WILL need to make other modifications before you can use this one.

[imported_Rebel38]

Has anyone made any of these images for this hack that they would like to share? or know where to get them? I dont know how to make them, below are the ones I need.

topright.gif
topleft.gif
botright.gif
botleft.gif

Thanks heaps
Rebel

[SaintDog]

They do not come with the template modification for the sole reason of me doing the hack, not the images. The images can be made yourself to fit any of the themes you have by simply openign photoshop or another image editing program and working a little bit to get the effect you want and need :).

[Jmonto]

Am I the only one that doesnt see the BG IMG? in the code

[CBGrafix]

i don't either. I'll do some playing about

[xNoSkillz]

... .

[imported_CA RO]

This mod only makes the cat_bottom_images appear below the last category of all.

I wannna have the mod for cat_bottom_images appearing at the end of each categry

[imported_Someguy]

I get it so then the border color changes from the default black to white. I'll try to fug around with it to fix it, but I hope theres a replacement or something to add to make it easier.

[Vinny Vega]

I've been tryin everything,but can't get my the border to show after using this mod. Can someone point me in the right direction

[iJason]

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong and how to fix this.. The category image isn't right..

http://www.dreamerzrealm.com

thanks

[BillaBongUSA]

You can either take the "tcat" class off of the <td>'s that the corner images are on, or you can just make the corner images non-transparent.

[iJason]

how do I make the corner images non-transparent?

[BillaBongUSA]

Just set the background on those images to be the same as the background of the page.

[imported_Hiall]

No problem, as for the rest, not all modifications will work for all forums, this was tested on vBulletinTemplates before as well as others and seemeded to work just fine. Make sure you follow the instructions to a tee as well.

Please see - http://www.cghelp.com/forum/index.php?s=&styleid=23

I have it working on the forum home, however when you click into a forum, the images are not appearing. Do I need to add the hack to other templates to get the left and right images to appear?

[kamu]

Theres a REASON there is an EXTRA CSS textbox
LOL!!!!

[Tony G]

kamu, I will ask you not to laugh at any members who are asking questions. There is no question too stupid at vBulletinTemplates. Thank you. :)

ESAD - This mod only accounts for the categories on the forum homre. :)

[imported_chuanse]

But what does it do then? cutting of a piece of the category strips
cfr screenshot?

[Tony G]

There is a screenshot in the first post. It adds (2 or more) images to your forumhome category bar(s).

[DjTuPPer]

How or witch template should I edit to make the same trick at the button of the categories.
Just look at the attachment! :D

[Marulatree]

Nice one - Installed on VB3 Beta 6!

Use the Bottom Category Images Modification. (If those are actually images o.O)

[-Shocker-]

So there is no way to add in a middle image like in the vb 2.3.2 version? You have to do 2 images that will take up the whole category?

[MKN]

For some reason I can?t my pics aligned right :(

For some reason, my topright and left, seem to use 1 pixel too much to be aligned with the rest. How do I reduce that, coz I tried reducing the imagesizes, but that doesn?t work either :(

Please help,
thanks in advance.
