How did they do this?
 

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

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

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.
