Hi, I've a question.

Will this hack automatically resize the icons or do you've to specifically choose icons from the same sizes?

I am a newbie here and have what may seem like a dumb question.

I understand how to do everything in the directions except - "run query."

Please inform.

Thanks.

Thanx.

If you want a spacer between your Text and the Forum Icon, you need to add a little HTML right after the code <img scr="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/homeicon/intros.gif" align="left"> in the Category Icon by this : <img src="spacer.gif" width="7" height="60" align="left">
Notice : try to reduce the icon image path length, something like <img src="images/homeicon/intros.gif" align="left"><img src="spacer.gif" width="7" height="60" align="left">, so it will be able to fit in the Category Icon Field , adjust the height of the spacer with the length of your forum description so all the text will be seperated with the icon. You don't need the spacer image .
Good luck

Hi,

Does anyone know how to reverse the SQL query of this hack.

It's

ALTER TABLE forum ADD (
forumhomeicon VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
)

And I un-installed the hack

Thanks in advance

I added images to my forum titles by simply doing template mods found in this thread at vB.com:

assuming that the "forumhomeicon" is not containing any needed info:

[SQL]ALTER TABLE `forum` DROP `forumhomeicon`;[/SQL]

Live Wire Hack is much much more organized, like he said, you are in the world of choice . :banana:

I'm kind of a newbie... How is it more organized? If it is better in some way, I would probably install it.

Just curious...

Can we add the images on the Forum Home page?

Dan	01-21-2005 08:07 PM

I have a question... does this let us select them for only certain ones? or does this do it for all of them so each one has to have one?

Add $forum[forumhomeicon] in your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template to display on all your forums, and sub forums.

My other styles work so fine when I edited the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
But with my most favourite style I can't make it work because my forumhome_forumbit_level1_post look like this and it's so difference to other templates.

HTML Code:

<tbody>

        <tr align="center">

                <td class="alt2Active" colspan="2" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">

                

                <table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

                <tr>

                        <td width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>

                        <td width="9"><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>

                        <td width="100%" align="left">

                        <div>

     <if condition="$forum[link] != ''"><a style="float:$stylevar[right]; padding-top: 9px;" href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img  src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/link_home.gif" alt="Jump to $forum[title]" border="0" /></a><else /><a style="float:$stylevar[right]; padding-top: 9px;" href="#top" onClick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_lastpost.gif" alt="Last post information" border="0" /></a><a style="float:$stylevar[right]; padding-top: 9px;" href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]goto=lastpost&amp;t=$lastpostinfo[lastthreadid]"><img  src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/lastpost_home.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_to_last_post]" border="0" /></a></if><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

                  </td>

                </tr>

                </table>

                

                </td>

                

                <td class="alt2"><div style="color: #496690; font-weight: bold; padding-top: 6px; font-family: Tahoma;"><b>$forum[threadcount]</b></div></td>

        <td class="alt1"><div style="color: #496690; font-weight: bold; padding-top: 6px; font-family: Tahoma;"><b>$forum[replycount]</b></div></td>

              

        </tr>

</tbody>

<if condition="$childforumbits">

<tbody>

        $childforumbits

</tbody>

</if>

The icons still don't show up. Is there nay suggestion? :disappointed:

I tried to run the query but it came up with an error. Where should i run the query I tried to do it in Import and Maintenance

An error occurred while attempting to execute your query. The following information was returned.
error number: 1146

Hi there, Installed this hack and double checked all steps again and again and the icons dont show at all?
Can anyone help me with this?
I tought it was easy.

Sure hit me up on Yahoo. flow_fusion

AlexUK

03-29-2005 01:44 PM

Still have the same problem, no images show at all.
All the steps have been done correctly and I only have 1 syle in my forums.
Any help?

rjordan

03-29-2005 07:33 PM

Did you make the changes in your templates to actually show the images? There are no specific instructions on exactly WHERE to put them in, so you need to know how to do a little on-your-own template changing.

AlexUK

03-30-2005 02:13 AM

Yeah I played around an no luck at all. :(

Here is what I put together on my site...

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_post:

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
 <td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>
<td>

Add below this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="20" align="center" valign="top">
$forum[forumhomeicon]</td>
<td>

Then find:

PHP Code:


		
			
 <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

Add below this:

PHP Code:


		
			
 </td>
</tr>
</table>

In forumhome_forumbit_level2_post:

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
 <td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">

Add below this:

PHP Code:


		
			
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="20" align="center" valign="top">
$forum[forumhomeicon]
</td>
<td>

Then find:

PHP Code:


		
			
 <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

Add below this:

PHP Code:


		
			
 </td>
</tr>
</table>

Naturally, change the table width (shown as 20 above) to the width you want. Note that if you do not have a category icon, this will put a blank space in front of each category. I think i tlooks better than having categories shifting back and forth, but that is just me. Hope this helps!
