To make a space, you can do what dsotmoon has done. All my images have a 5 pixel space; left, right, top and bottom. Or you can add a <td>&nbsp</td>. But pixel space seems to be the best answer.

if you havent got this working yet, i got it working via strait template edits. its a little messy though. i tried doing it via a plugin using the global_start hook but couldnt get it to work. if you want it...ill send you what i did. if not...maybe ill just release it in the templates forum.

Does this work for categories too? (if you've unchecked the "Act as a forum" checkbox)

Thank you

Is there a way to:
1. Get rid of the original VB icons?
2. make the icons be a substitute for the actual forum name? (i.e. Have a clickable logo with no text next to it.)

The message received after updating to vb 3.51 the latest update was to revert certain templates otherwise some funtions may not work. If the code has changed for the 2 templates, then we cannot replace as instructed to do so in the first post. I have tried to just insert the one line but haven't been able to get the alignment right.

Any Help ? Or perhaps updated templete replacements to refect the revised templates in the new vb 3,51 update

Simply try and error, nothing big can go wrong.

The CatHack is working fine on my board at www.clanforums.com vB3.5.1
I added the correct code to main and subforums but I think posting this here does not help cause I have several other modifications in there.
I think I will add cat icons today to better show how it works.
Actually only my birthday board has an icon which I used to test things out.

Great hack!!

Is there a way to show the category icon in forumdescription in forumdisplay?

ps. I'm talking about this forumdescription vB option:
This option displays the forum description in the navbar. Helps visitors to know what the topic of a forum is, as well as possibly increasing search engine rankings.

Yes, this should be possible also.
Simply add the $forum[forumhomeicon] variable where you need it and the image should be shown.

Yes...that's what i'm talking about :squareeyed:

Unfortunately it's not showing... no matter if it's in the navbar template OR in the forumdisplay template. :nervous:

(no errors....it doesn't display the icon...)

You have two options:

1. Change the variable to be valid globally or
2. Change the templates

I played around with the templates and the plugin entry points but did not find the right one. Maybe the author can help here with a hint very fast :D

was able to get the icons back
$forum[forumhomeicon]

using that code, but ended up deletely it for now, as I just can't seem to get it to align correctly, the forum title, description to appearing towards the bottom right of the icon pic or bellow it, I want the forum title and description to appear just to the right of the icon pic starting at the top right of the pic.

This was the way it was before by using your replacement codes at the that was posted, but with updated templates v3.51 I can't use that.

I have added the plug in and added the phrase code just like LiveWire did but it simply refuses to work for meo n 3.5.1, and the input box in forum editing is at the very bottom and looks like it is simply part of my age lock hack.

Hey guys, I'm without power at my house still cause of the hurricane. When I get my power back I will update the code for everyone. Just give me a few days. There saying it will be back on the 15. I hope that will be sooner. :)

Hello everyone,
First of all very good mod by LiveWire. I have installed it too and its running wild.

Here is a little modification of the template file I made so that you can actually replace the status icon with your chosen forum icon. And if there isn't any forum icon chosen, then it will display the status icon.

On forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Replace:

PHP Code:


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

With:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$forum[forumhomeicon]">
<td>$forum[forumhomeicon]</td>
<else />
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
</if>

On forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Replace:

PHP Code:


		
			
<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>

With:

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$forum[forumhomeicon]">
    <td class="alt2">$forum[forumhomeicon]</td>
<else />
    <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>
</if>

If anyone else doesn't want to wait for the updated plugin, as I couldn't ;) and you don't mind doing it all though a template edit instead of using a plugin, I described how do it using a similar template mod here:

I installed this on 3.5 Gold and it works perfectly :) I had to insert the $forum[forumhomeicon] manually though, because copy and pasting the code above was giving me an error. Instead of saying (10 viewing) or whatever, it was saying (Array Viewing).

I do have one question though. Is there any way I can get my icon to show up all the way to the right of the forum name and description, next to the "last post" column? I tried tweaking it a little bit but the tables kept getting distorted and unaligned.

TygerTyger

11-15-2005 12:31 PM

Refer to the template mod I linked to a couple of posts above this one to have the icons on the right.

Oh, I can't believe I missed that. Thank you very much. :)

Wow, works like a charm! Thank you so much for sharing this! I've been looking for something like this for a long time!

Works great on 3.5 Gold... virtually no problems installing!

Would it be possible to make this work per style, so we can use different icons for each style?

Are you able to make it so that it goes over the default icon, not having 2 icons?
