It should...

Nice idea...not sure how to implement it since developers that design skins, styles etc...put their status icons into different locations i.e. images/skin name/statusicon or cpstyles/skin name/statusicon. There is no consistency....

One way is to move the icons to a folder under the statusicon folder and then set it in the forum manager per style/skin...let me think on this a bit.

Anyone else looking for this feature?

Update: Version 1.2.3 coming soon.

• * Added: Automatic Template Edits!
  * Added: Only jpg, gif and png icons allowed. (extensions checked in forum edit).
  * Fixed: Mark Forum Read.
  * Fixed: Non-Transparent Status Icon when "Show Locks" is enabled.

No, they can just name the icons according to the skin. Like for styleid 3, you would name the icons iconname_3. I like the directory how it is now.

This would be a real pain in the arse to integrate not that it can't be done but I do have other mods I am working on. Did you get my PM?

Yes, got it and was just going to look at it.

1.2.3 has just been released.

• * Added: Automatic Template Edits!
  * Added: Only jpg, gif and png icons allowed. (extensions checked in forum edit).
  * Fixed: Mark Forum Read for specific forum/subforum.
  * Fixed: Now shows non-transparent status icon when "Show Locks" is enabled.

Does it still show transparent icons for unregistered users is the "Show Locks" is disabled?

Probably not and was hoping you would test that when I provided you a pre-release. ;)

Easy fix either way.

My bad....Boofo did test it and I missed it. Next version will have a fix for unregistered users.

I did test it and I did send you a PM stating what I found, sir.

so we need to revert the postbit templates?

No just the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post & forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates as outlined in the install.html file.

ok, then what are the 'automatic templates'?

"Auto Templates" means that the mod will do the edits for you so all you need to do is revert the templates back since you are using an older version, then select "Yes" to "Auto Templates" in the settings and it replaces the contents with what is needed in the templates through a plugin.

Does it replace the whole template or just the code changes like in the install file?

SIMPLY AWESOME!

ps. sorry for the previous post, i mean the forumhome templates not the postbit ... :D

Orginally it was to replace the whole template but it only replaces what is needed as you see in the product xml file....

@ [name]Dark_Wizard[/name]: need an improvement (only for the 'after status icon' setting) if i need to put an rectangular image your product resizes it (example 48x48) i need an option that i can set forum by forum the width or the height of a single image ...

example: http://www.fniv.it/board/forum.php check the tekken6 image, originally is rectangular ...

In the options you can set the size in width and height and the default value is 48x48 pixels.

As for forum by forum not sure I really want to do that now as it would require more coding and forcing anyone wanting to update to make changes again...if it's a big request then I will do it.

i know mate, but i think this is an huge request that allow us to have a more flexible images input ... :)

I understand your point but I have other mods I am working on that will pay for my time. I have had only one donation for this mod and it is sincerely appreciated and I am not asking anyone to donate but I have put a lot of time into this already.

This mod is far greater than anything like it to date....

1 ? Installed!
2 ? Nominated!
3 ? Rated to "Excellent."

Mod is an indispensable and very very good. Thanks for the update, my friend is perfect.
Greetings!

any chances to use other icon instead of transparency?
in my site its not very "clear" the effect :(

Try to find some high quality icons and it will look better otherwise just turn off the transparency.

Thank you!

thanks!
but if i turn off the transparency there wont be any visual notification or the icons will be replaced for something?

True but I cannot recode this to accept other icons now. Try to find some better icons with higher resolution.

I upgraded to the new release and now no icons show in my drop down list. I'm running vbulletin 4.0.4. I went in and reverted the templates and copy and pasted in the install file.

This shows at the top of my vbulletin "Forum" page:

Warning: asort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in [path]/admincp/forum.php(240) : eval()'d code on line 20

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/admincp/forum.php(240) : eval()'d code on line 21

Thanks

And also can look around here.

For lovers of the icons, like me. More than 292 000 are icons.

Greetings! Thanks again for Mod

Nevermind, I found out what was wrong. I second LatinoCheats' link. I got a lot of icons from there.

thanks for sharing ... ;)

Great mod. Installed and nominated.Definitely beats replacing with your custom icons. I use custom icons and every time I upgrade I have to replace my custom icons because they get overwritten.

Hey Dark_Wizard, Is there any place I can go to donate? This one needs to be supported!!!

Thank you! Yes, up on the top to the right where it says "Support Developer".

Bob

Cool thanks. Donation sent!!

Keep up the good work :D

works like a charm.

I would suggest clarifying the instructions for those with previous versions installed.

Simply revert the modified templates to their originals, import the product (allowing overwrite), and then go into the options menu for the mod, and select auto-template edits. Save. Done.

It's in the options about reverting along with version and it is also in the install.html.

Thank you! I sent you a link for a Pro version with a few nice additions, enjoy!

Bob

Thanks ,
it doesent seem working on Vb 4.0.4 :S

??. What is not working? Did you read the instructions, warnings and notes? If you selected "Auto Templates" and have modified your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post & forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates then you need to do the manual edits instead as outlined in the install.html included with the mod.

Please do not post "It's not working" without more info, I cannot read your mind.

Exactly as DW Said, post info about your problem so the Author or anybody else can help you out.

BTW, I'm running vB4.0.4 & It's working perfectly ;)
