Simple Category Icons
 

Ok folks.

For all of you who want Category Icons including the "new post", "no new post", "forum closed" capabilities, here is a quick and simple solution provided by Andreas

What this hack does: Instead of the standard forum icons like
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/21.gif or https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/4.gif, ... you can now have separat status icons for every forum you have. It is that simple ;)

Templates forumhome_forumbit_level_...

search:
Replace with
then create/name your images like this:

forumID_new.gif, forumID_old.gif,...

Example: forum1_new.gif

If you want to have different icons for subforums on forumhome as well:

In forumhome_subforumbit_nopost and forumhome_subforumbit_post

search for:
and replace it with:
Name your images like:

subforumID_old.gif
subforumID_new.gif

Example: subforum22_old.gif

I don't use this hack so I have no screenshots, but If anyone is trying this, it would be cool if you could provide some screenshots.

Remember to click installed ;)

Very simple. :)

A quick suggestion would be an optional other code to use an array of forums that get different icons. I just set this up that way and can post my code & screenshots when I'm done making icons if you'd like.

Of course

Feel free to post it here ;)

very good.... install

This one can make for the sub forums?

Yes

Simply replace the above code in all 4 forumhome_forumbit_level_
templates and you are good.

Thank you for the help but me refer to the sub forums pointed out in red in the image.

Is it possible to make this?

Would like this but i have lots of forums.
Is there a way so that forums that don't use different icons use the default onces without adding/renaming lots of the same icons?

Thanks, I've been looking for this.

@Coleccromos:

In forumhome_subforumbit_nopost and forumhome_subforumbit_post

search for:
and replace it with:
Name your images like

subforumID_old.gif
subforumID_new.gif

@993ti:
Sorry there is not. This is a simple solution for having different forum icons, not a full blown hack ;)
