Forum Home Enhancements - Forum Icons

Forum Icons is a product that adds an option in the edit/add new forum page to set a forum icon.

To make it work, you will need to make a template modification, I did try to do it with a plugin, but got frustrated trying but failing to make it work.

I promise I will be looking into this so we don't have to edit any template, but in the meantime...

How to Install:


1- Upload the product xml file.
2- Edit forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace it with:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription"><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px;" /></vb:if>{vb:raw forum.description}</p>
					<vb:elseif condition="$forum['iconlocation']" /><p class="forumdescription"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></p></vb:if>

If you use it, please mark it as installed

This mod is dead - good luck getting any answers. I offered to pay someone (some time ago) to make it so the forum icon sits to the left of the title and description. I received no assistance whatsoever.

I managed to figure it out myself though ...



Good luck!

You aren't going to post how you did it? It looks really great and I would love to be able to use this.

[GreigM]

To make the forum icon sit to the left of the title and description, you need to do this :

Uninstall any previous version and install a fresh copy. Do not make any edits to the mod except for what you see below.

It took a lot of trial and error to get this right - If you like what you see, please make a PayPal donation to mcs@sunwave.net to cover my time in getting this done. Thank you.

1) Install a fresh copy of this mod

2) Open up : Styles and Templates / Style Mananger / Edit Templates / Forum Home Templates / forumhome_forumbit_level2_post


Look for :

<div class="datacontainer">

Add this code after that line :

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;">
<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></a></vb:if>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">

Look for :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace that line with :

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></div>

That's it! - Hit the "Save and Reload" button and your done.

This will show the icon to the left of the title and description. Also, if you hover your mouse over the icon, it will show that board titles name. If you click on the icon, it will take you to that boards location.

I hope you enjoy it - any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what the results will look like :
