Dismounted:
Is "staffroom" the name of each forum that we want to have the image icon?

Also, how do we list them all in that field? Like this?
/images/statusicon/staffroom_forum_link.gif; staffroom_forum_new.gif; staffroom_forum_new_lock.gif; staffroom_forum_old.gif; staffroom_forum_old_lock.gif

or how will we do it?

Also do you know what is the good size for these icons?

whatever_ as the prefix for the images and name the images as he pointed out in post 8

If you want image names like this: staffroom_someimage.gif, the prefix would be "staffroom_", not "staffroom".

rapidphim 10-29-2008 06:58 PM
do we need to specify the source link of the image or just the file name? Let's say, in this case, staffroom_forum_link.gif?????

Dismounted 10-31-2008 06:05 AM
No, you only specify the prefix.

Hi

Just going through the same thing myself at the moment and came across this thread following a search.

So if the images I want to have are called postlocked_new.gif and postpost_new.gif... would my prefix be "post"?

They are located in statusicon folder.

If so it isn't working, do I need to modify anything else?

Dismounted 01-01-2009 04:03 AM
The setting only affect the forum statusicon, and not any statusicons for threads (AFAIK).

This is what I am doing:

Forum Manager> Staff Room> Edit Forum.

In the field next to this:

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 /)

I am putting the following:

/staffroom/forum_link.gif,forum_new.gif,forum_new_lock.gif,fo rum_old.gif,forum_old_lock.gif

I am putting the /staffroom/ as that is where the images are located. /staffroom is inside the statusicon for my theme and the default theme.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. This has really puzzled me, maybe I am missing something.

Thank you for any help given.

EDIT: I have noticed on various forums using custom icons for each forum that they are located in all different names for folders and dont even follow the

* forum_link.gif
* forum_new.gif
* forum_new_lock.gif
* forum_old.gif
* forum_old_lock.gif"

naming rule suggested above.

I am running VB 3.7.2 also.

Code:
staffroom_forum_link.gif
staffroom_forum_new.gif
staffroom_forum_new_lock.gif
staffroom_forum_old.gif
staffroom_forum_old_lock.gif
And place them in the statusicon folder.
Is "staffroom" the name of the particular forum?

Also, if we have a forum with a name with multiple words, do we have to add an underscore between the words or just leave the space as normal?

:confused:

The prefix is the one you chose in the forum manager, it does not necessarily have to be the forum's name.

ArnyVee 01-13-2009 05:29 PM
Thank you Dismounted. We are overthinking this WAY too much! :D

For whichever forum, we need to specify the name (whatever we decide to use as a prefix) of the image.

So, in essence, I could use....

"whatever_" within the field on the forum manager.

...then, I can name them like this....

whatever_forum_link.gif
whatever_forum_new.gif
whatever_forum_new_lock.gif
whatever_forum_old.gif
whatever_forum_old_lock.gif

....and just upload the "whatever" versions of these images to my forumicons directory. Which, in turn, will eliminate the standard (or whatever you have in there) images for those particular forums that you specify the prefix in and replace them with the "whatever" images.

I'm going to try this on another site that I wanted to use it on. :up:
