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

Admin CP->Forum Manager ->Prefix for Forum Status Images

This is correct.

Admin cp> forum manager> edit the forum of choice> go all the way to the bottom of the page where it says: Forum Icon Configuration

Add an image to wherever and you can put the address in there.

My question however, is I can only get this to work on the default VB style. When I go to another style, the forum icons no longer show up. Anyone know what I can do? Thanks!

when you say add an image, do you just add in that box the name of the image such as "PC_racing.png" then put that image in the statusicon folder? If that is the case then I'm doing something wrong.

[GreigM]

you will need to add the path to the image

images/statusicons/PV_racing.png

or whatever your path is

[sveinung]

What is a path???

[texasteamplayer]

it would be a lot more convenient if images could be links, instead of paths. That way, album, or attachment images could be used for this on the fly, rather than having to ftp in and transfer images over and over.
