Joe how can i get sub forum category icons displaying on the master forum? Tried everything.

Not sure if you're still having the issue but if so what version of VB are you using? You probably do NOT need to make the file edit. Restore the original forumdisplay.php file.

I don't understand the question... What are category icons? Screenshot?

Joe all i get is the default status icon see attached image even though in forum display on forums it shows my custom icons for each sub forum but in the master forum created doesn't appear to inherit these icons from forum display along with thread titles etc.

Great product but why goto all the work of creating forum and sub forum icons if master forum display won't show them :-( Great for it to show the sub forum or forum icon instead of thread status icon. Or even the option to choose to use thread status icons or use forum icons.

Are those these icons? (on forumdisplay.php?)

If so how are you setting custom ones per forum?

In forum manager the only option I see for custom icons is for custom status icons.

setting the icon under Style Options

Prefix for Forum Status Images (This prefix will be used on status image filenames for a forum, it can only contain A-Z, 0-9, -, _, . and /)

Just add the location of the icon on a forum by forum basis. They show on for display but master forums doesn't show them.

Right but in that case it's the same icon used everywhere on the site, right? Unless you have a specific style set for each forum?

yes, its same icon used for everything within that forum subforum

But is it a style being used for that forum/sub-forum or some other way you set it unique by forum? This mod isn't going to look at custom styles to pull the icons from that style if that is what you are asking- sorry- that was never something it was intended to do.

Same using default style, i have set icons in default and in a custom style and master forums doesn't pull from either or any just shows default thread status icon.

As suggested above if at all possible maybe an option in master forums to tell it too use forum or sub forum icons.

Maybe its just not possible but had to ask.

On vBulletin.com you posted this:

Emphasis mine because this is what I am confused about. Maybe I am missing something or maybe the icons I posted earlier were NOT what you are talking about. In Forum Manager the only option I see is for STATUS ICON PREFIX. A Status Icon is the image next to the forum on forum.php. That is different then the icons I circled in the image above which are the icons displayed next to each thread on forumdisplay.php.

What is confusing me is it looks like you are asking for custom images next to each thread when there is no native VB setting I know of for custom thread icons (per forum), only forum icons.

If you wanted the custom forum status icon I understand that being unique but no where in vBulletin does that icon ever show up next to a thread.
