Forum Home Enhancements - Catagory Icons

Catagory Icons
Tested on 3.6.1
By Adrian at Development chat.com

Current Version: 1.0.1
1.0.1 Status: Working Fine.

Hey,

I noticed a few people around the 'net wanted a modification like this, It wasn't too hard so i thought i would give it ago.

You can specify a image path/url to use for your catagory icon, if none is specified, the forum will use vBulletins default image.
See bottom of post for screenshots

Installation
Import product-catagoryicons.xml (It should make the needed Mysql tables too)
Go to Options > Catagory Icons to enable the mod'.

Template Edits
Open Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
Find:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

or

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace with:

<if condition="$vboptions[customimg_enabled] == 1">
	<if condition="$forum[customimg] == ''">
		<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

<else />
		<img src="$forum[customimg]" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

<else />
	<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

Save.
Open up Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />

or

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace with:

<if condition="$vboptions[customimg_enabled] == 1">
	<if condition="$forum[customimg] == ''">
		<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

<else />
		<img src="$forum[customimg]" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

<else />
	<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

Done.

That should be it.

To set catagory icons, just edit a forum, the image field is at the bottom.
If you have any problems, just ask.

If you use it, please click install.

Thanks.

If too much then no worries!!

You can currently set a custom image for subforums...

Or do you mean, set custom images for the subforum list on forum home?
