this is for the forumhome, open your "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template and find ;
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

add above that
<if condition="in_array($forum['parentid'], array(XX,XX,XX))"><img src="$stylevars[imgdir_misc]/$forum[forumid].gif" alt="$forum[title]" border="0" vspace="2 px" hspace="2 px" align="left"/></if>

if you want it to appear for all forums, remove the conditional, you can also just change the conditional to suit your needs better, the XX's in the conditional are to be replaced by the parentid's of your desire. the parentid is just the forumid of the catergory.

I like the idea, but as a newbie I cannot understand what you are saying here?

Would I be able to place a differnent icon within each forum?

Sorry, little confused.

Sorry, little confused.

it's currently set so that it only appears for certain categories, what that bit is saying is if you want it to appear for all categories delete the conditional.

the hacks is set so a different image appears within each forumbit by default

Replace the "X"'s in this code with the forumid numbers of your forums.
<if condition="in_array($forum['parentid'], array(XX,XX,XX))"><img src="$stylevars[imgdir_misc]/$forum[forumid].gif" alt="$forum[title]" border="0" vspace="2px" hspace="2px" align="left"/></if>

BTW, I just tried this hack on my forums and it didn't work.
http://www.madisonsportbikes.com/forums/index.php

I added it to forumid's 46,47,48 and 67 and uploaded gif images to my /forums/images/misc directory with the names of the forumid's and nothing shows.

It did this:

this is for the forumhome, open your "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" template and find ;
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

add above that
<if condition="in_array($forum['parentid'], array(46,47,48,67))"><img src="$stylevars[imgdir_misc]/$forum[forumid].gif" alt="$forum[title]" border="0" vspace="2px" hspace="2px" align="left"/></if>


created the images, named the same as the forumid #'s and uploaded them to the /forums/images/misc directory.

Here's my forumhome_forumbit_level2_post code:

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">

So for the others trying to make this work the following is what was wrong with the original code, this > condition="in_array($forum['parentid'] should really be this > condition="in_array($forum['forumid']


Wrong:
<if condition="in_array($forum['parentid'], array(XX,XX,XX))"><img src="$stylevars[imgdir_misc]/$forum[forumid].gif" alt="$forum[title]" border="0" vspace="2px" hspace="2px" align="left"/></if>

Right:
<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(XX,XX,XX))"><img src="$stylevars[imgdir_misc]/$forum[forumid].gif" alt="$forum[title]" border="0" vspace="2px" hspace="2px" align="left"/></if>

wow how disrespectful are you, you carry on liek this and you'll make me swear.

if you want it to appear for all forums, remove the conditional, you can also just change the conditional to suit your needs better, the XX's in the conditional are to be replaced by the parentid's of your desire. the parentid is just the forumid of the catergory. if anyone doesn't know the difference between forumid's and categoryid's then the problem is on their end in the understanding department and that's what this thread is here to help them with, if you want forumid's you change the conditional to relfect that yourself, i'm a man can't be arsed with specific forums when i want a whole category to have images and thus i released according to my needs.

the problem is that you're getting a 404 on the images, find out where they're pointing on your forumhome and either change it in the template or change it image location's to match.
Katman
11-03-2005, 03:32 PM
I'm not going to argue with you over this but perhaps if your hack had better instructions then people wouldn't be having so many problems with it. Look back through the posts in this thread, the history is there, people do not understand your hack.

As for my 404 error, sure it's 404'ing file not found because it's looking in the wrong place because your original code is wrong. Your code says "<img src="$stylevars[imgdir_misc]/$forum[forumid].gif" which is the "misc" directory under the "images" directory which is under the "forum" root directory, yet that's not where it's looking for the images. It's looking for them in the root of the website.

Hi sabret00the,

Was wondering if you could help a similiar feature like this mod?

- I'd like to show a thumb of images posted within a post (was flagged as "best selected post" and do have a flag called "bestselected") from a specified forum ID on my forum home.

or

- instead of showing a fixed image for each forum (like this mod), maybe we can show the thumb of images posted within the latest post from that forum?
callumbush

the instructions for this mod are absolutely awful
I can't figure It out
callumbush
06-26-2008, 01:42 PM
right i've figured it out now - cheers Katman!

1. Also you need to put the images in the root folder in order for it to work - how can i correct this? Here is the code:

<if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(XX,XX,XX))"><img src="$stylevars[imgdir_misc]/$forum[forumid].gif" alt="$forum[title]" border="0" vspace="2 px" hspace="2 px" align="left"/></if>

2. The images do not click through to the respective forum. How can I correct this?
