This works fine in my 3.8 GOLD install

See it here: www.diyautoforum.com

It is nice but it doesn't look quite as nice as the attachment i posted here.

katie hunter, I think someone mentioned that you have to combine the mod with the custom icons....

....to get the look you want.

It's just that one step, right Veccy? Or, did you do both steps that I quoted a couple of posts up?

The only step i put in was the one i posted.:)

Mod works great on my 3.8 install.

Any idea why I can't use the "Style Options" within the "Forum Manager" to add certain icons instead of the 'site-wide' ones?

I added a new prefix as instructed within the Style Options and uploaded the images, but it won't show for the forums where I have activated this mod on. But, the Style Options worked with the 'regular' forums where this hack is not enabled.

Any idea what I can do to fix that? Is there something that needs to be renamed within the xml now with versions 3.7 versus when it was originally coded?

EDITED: This is the only line within the xml that lists "statusicon"....

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

...does it need to be adjusted since we are now in the 3.7 or 3.8 versions?

EDITED #2: These are the statusicon references in the template edits.....

Quote:

then add this new function to the file:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
// ###################### Start construct_forum_columns #######################

// do light bulb
$forum['statusicon'] = fetch_forum_lightbulb($forumid, $lastpostinfo, $forum);

OR

Within the same file....

Quote:

// add lock to lightbulb if necessary
if ((!($forumperms & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_forumpermissions['canpostnew']) OR !($forum['options'] & $vbulletin->bf_misc_forumoptions['allowposting'])) AND $vbulletin->options['showlocks'] AND !$forum['link'])
{
$forum['statusicon'] .= '_lock';

Do these need to be adjusted so that my statusicons work properly in those categories/forums in which this mod is enabled?

OK I have read through this thread and I have done everything Veccy 150 has said and I am still getting the problem like the person above. I actually switched my custom 'nopost' template to the default to make it work with no luck...

Any help anyone please?
