How did they do this?
 

How did they get these nice graphics in the category strips?

http://www.flyinggiants.com/forums/index.php

They just changed their forum icon to display that image.

Each forum icon is from a specific location, how is that possible to have a different one for each forum?

Can anyone shed some more light on this? I sure would like to implement this on my boards.

search for a category icon hack ;)

OK, add the following line to where you would usually put the forum name.

Add the forum name to the description box, along with what other info you wish to display.

Save it & check it out...Now apply your info there. Enjoy !

They used the second option I posted here, the images are named according to the forumID of the forum they need to show for
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=185877

OK, I just showed an easy way to achive the goal they were after without editing code.

Also, in the discription box, to add rows of text, add <br> after each line.

man everybody in here.. dont ever help toowell i know what his talking about

check this out... this is what i did.. in the "descriptions box" not the.. "title box"

post this:

<a href="http://www.rahstyles.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=62"><img src="http://www.rahstyles.com/images/rahstyles/is.gif" /></a>

^ you can modify that anyway u want

If you place it in the description it wll be below the forum name, not next to it.

You would also need to re-create all the styling for the text to make the description smaller to achieve that look...

Either way you are still editing code.

his not asking to put it to the left!

he wants it.. in the box.. like i have on my site..

example:

http://www.rahstyles.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=56

Far be it from me to bicker over whats what, but the link they provided for us
to view & see if we knew how, is only the main forum names with images.
I answered the question in which they were asking.

He asked how to achieve the effect in that link, that link does not have images below the forum names.

Again, it would not achieve that look. He asked how to achieve what was done in the link and it would not achieve that look without the proper formatting.

Try the steps I suggested. You will achieve the same look as link provided.

I just did it to one of my sites.

Actaully I agree what you posted will. except the forum name and description will have the same styling.

what are you talking about "the LInk" there is no images under "the link" ..

he just wanted the code he can put in.. either the catigory or the thread.. or the post.. whatever he wants.. case closed.. i won you lost.. i showed him the esiest possible way to achieve what he wanted.. and well wait till he gets back to see if wat i showed is what he wanted...

see this here proves my point.. wenever. i ask for help .. u do this kinda stuff.. and make it so complicated to understand what there tlakin about... I mean if sombody askes a question.. You give them another questiion back.... When sombody ask for a questin you want an answer not another question.. so i gave him a quick and simple answer and the code to do it ..with an example of my fourm link and a pic.. so he doesnt have to figure out..what to put inbetween the codes.. .. i hop ethis example.. will spread among the coder.. so they can give a n simple asnwer also

Do not post paragraphs to me filled with nothing, He gave a link in his first post that showed what he was looking for(THE LINK I WAS REFERING TOO), if you cannot see the difference between the look in that link and your site then you seriously should stop posting trying to help.

Wheres the Thank you Button?

okay what he posted in the first link is exactly...!!!!!! and i mean exactlyy!!! what they have on that stupid rc site

Both worked well, thanks!.

With blind-eddie's code it put the graphic to the left and that's where I want it with the text to the right side. That keeps the category strips to a minamum height. How do I keep it there but have the description formated like the org category text. Get that and I'm there!

R_Enterprise,Blind-Eddie
Can I get an apology from both of you now? As he just stated exactly what i stated to both of you?

Dklassen
Try wrapping the description in a div with the class smallfont

ok fine soryy

I was only joking, you didn't really need to apologize but its cool to see you can be humble.

well could you install that mod in the other site for me please?

Tried the div tag in the description but it didn't change anything.

On the example site it looks like the graphic is not in the description box.

Is this what your after?

I achieved this by adding, the following to the forum title line.

Then I added the following to the Description box,

There is other ways to achieve this, but this way works just fine for me.

Yes!!!

Don't mean to be picky but can I bottom align the text with the graphic and space it out just a tad?
