Extra icons for each forum

I would like to add extra icons for each forum like I saw it here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

How should I do that?

Thank you

Go to AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager -> Select your forum to edit

Scroll down a bit until you find:

Prefix for Forum Status Images

Type in a prefix that you are going to remember because you are going to use it. For example, for your general chat forums, you can have "genchat_" or your general chat forum ID: "1_" or whatever you want as long as you can remember it.

Alright, now make sure you have the customized images at hand.

If you've chosen genchat_ as a prefix, rename every custom image file to:

* genchat_forum_link.gif
* genchat_forum_new.gif
* genchat_forum_new_lock.gif
* genchat_forum_old.gif
* genchat_forum_old_lock.gif

Upload these new images to /images/statusicon

You mean I have to make 5 same images with different name?

This is changing my main status icons. I don't want to remove them. I want to add extra icons like it is on picture I posted.

I just don't believe that nobody now this :(

Check out this thread. Just made this post last night. I included screenshots and the file. Download it here.

this is not what I am looking. Look at screenshot I put. I don't want to change status icons.

@Veenuisthebest

You could share what did you do to looks like that :)

I found this on here a while back if I could find again I would add the original poster name its simple and easy to do, best by far

each icon you ad has to be named with the forum id number so if introduction is id 2 then you call it 2.gif or whatever file format
you use

i changed from gif to png

Admin CP >> Styles & Templates >> Edit Templates >> Forum Home Templates >> forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
PHP Code:
<tr align="center">
    <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
    <td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]"> 
Add underneat:

PHP Code:
<div style="float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forumid.gif" alt=""/></div>

(change the gif to png here here if you want to use png format)

Now the deal is that you have your own icons and you have to name each file with the number of the id of each forum.

So you go to Forums & Moderators >> Forum Manager

And click on any child forum (not subforum), for example in our case New Members, and look at the top for the Forum id... then you rename the .gif file with the number of the forum id, like: 2.gif

Upload them onto the images / statusicons folder

Now that file will display on that forum, and you go like that for each forum you have.

Just add the html for each image in your forum description:

Code:

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 3px;"><img src="path/to/image.png"></div>This is my forum description

Wow..Thanks regs. I have been searching everywhere just to add a little icon next to forum titles, without having to make an icon for EVERY forum - and all I had to do was add html to the description! All the places I searched that was the best suggestion, thanks.
