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.

Adrian

In 3.7 you can set up a custom Prefix for Forum Status Images which basically a native way to choose individual forum category icons.

Is there an option to display different icons for different user groups?
