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

After i ho in acp forum manager and in the line for the address i put the full path or also the direct but i do not see nothing in my forums

seeing nothing strange
but do u use any other third party image blockers
or limited guests mods ,
last thing what u can do is disable all of your mods/plugs except the forum icon mods
and see what it does

So revert the template and do like my post #119:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=119

For who want place it nearby the forum description:

Find:

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

Replace with:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float:left; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px;" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p><vb:else /><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></vb:if>

Edit the red pixel number to style it fix your design.

Below code is for who wanna make it below the forum description:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float:left; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px;clear: both;" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/></vb:if></vb:if>

It's easy to help if you give your link

It's for default style

Just revert the template to default, then re-do it, you can test yourself.

Remember, it's for POSTED FORUM. If your forum without post, it does not use that template, so, post some testing post first.

Again, If s1 need help, give the forum i will check if what u r doing wrong.


---------

The X within IE display means WRONG LINK IMAGE. Firefox does not display the wrong link so you hard to know if you got the wrong.

I only have a product for the resize of images that i've also disabled but is ever the same result.
i do not understand what's happening..
but now i can not deactive all the products

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 :

I've also done all that is written in this post but without result.
if i change the principal incon that appear in imges/statusicon it appear but i can not manage evry forum how i could with this great mod but unsupported.
Is possible for the futur to indicate in a mod that is unsupporte so i do not download and install more? thanks to all and i hope to have solution about this problem.
