I think Jelsoft must include this mod by default. It's really usefull.
Thanks for it Adrian..

Where exactly is this: "Go to Options > Catagory Icons to enable the mod"

I've gone through the entire admincp -> vBulletin options and can't find it.

I have added my icons using <img src="http:example.com/cat-icons/test.gif"> to my forums, but no images display.

NM, The import of the product must not have fully worked the first time. Reinstalled and the option shows up. Thanks...

im getting the following error when import the plug-in. what should i do?

works like a charm. thanks :)

This mod is realy great!
I have added it recently to our forum -> http://forum.team-mediaportal.com

Would it be possible to expand this modification, to define custom category icons for "forum_old" and "forum_new"?

which means, haveing the same functionality with the custom category images, as with the main vbulletin feature, to see if a forum contains new posts or not.

Hi Adrian,

I used to have something like this installed for version 3.5.4 which looked like the attached image I have.

The image here was to the right of the status icon, thus allowing the users to know of new posts. After I upgraded to version 3.6.4, I found your hack, which works very nicely btw, but instead of being to the right of the status icons, it replaces the status icons.

Is there a way to make it so it's to the right, like I had before?

Many thanks,

~ Domokun

- Image below was the older one I used to have for 3.5.4 -

hi domokun, i'm interested to do my forum like your thumb ... what's the hack that you use?

What I had was an older version for vB 3.5.4. I'm also stuck on trying to figure out how to get it to look like this since I just upgraded to vB 3.6.4

~ Domokun

p.s. I was kinda hoping Adrian would have our answer ;)

This looks great, but the one problem I have with these types of modifications is you lose the new/old icon to show which forums have new posts and which ones don't. IMO that's important and it's the only reason I don't use this.
