Change Number of Post Icon Columns on New thread / Post Reply
I recently had to search the forums to locate where to change the number of columns for the post icons in the New Thread and Post Reply. I did find threads refering the the file to be modified, but no info as to where it needed changed.
So, here it is for those looking to change the number of columns displayed for your post icons. Useful for those with narrow fixed width styles where the icons may cause table breaks, or for those with fluid designs that would allow for more columns displayed.
Edit your includes/functions_newpost.php, locate the following section of code:
Code:
while ($icon = $vbulletin->db->fetch_array($icons))
{
$show['posticons'] = true;
if ($numicons % 7 == 0 AND $numicons != 0)
{
$posticonbits .= "</tr><tr><td> </td>";
}
$numicons++;
$iconid = $icon['iconid'];
$iconpath = $icon['iconpath'];
$alttext = $icon['title'];
if ($seliconid == $iconid)
{
$iconchecked = 'checked="checked"';
$selectedicon = array('src' => $iconpath, 'alt' => $alttext);
}
else
{
$iconchecked = '';
}
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('posticons_bit')) ? eval($hook) : false;
eval('$posticonbits .= "' . fetch_template('posticonbit') . '";');
}
$remainder = $numicons % 7;
if ($remainder)
{
$remainingspan = 2 * (7 - $remainder);
$show['addedspan'] = true;
Change each instance of the number 7, to the desired number of columns. Save, and upload the modified file.
