hey live wire, could you make it so the admincp only needs an image path, not a whole <img scr= business?

Or does that allow you more flexibility, if so, how have you used that to your advantage?

LOL, thanks...I didn't see that option when I went to edit the forum, which is why I asked. If I would have uploaded the forum.php file I edited, maybe I would have seen it sooner

Thank you! (I pressed install

)

Umm, sorry to bother again...I uploaded forum.php and i added the <img> tag to all the forums, but when i go to the forum, they are not showing up. I am using vB 3.0.9...any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Logikos · #**106** 09-11-2005, 05:39 AM

Did you edit the template? Please read the directions carefully. $forum[forumhomeicon] holds the <img> info...

digitalSite · #**107** 09-11-2005, 03:40 PM

I followed what rjordan did (Post #67 on this thread)...hmm, I will check this again.

digitalSite · #**108** 09-11-2005, 03:49 PM

I figured it out!

When editing the forums in the FORUM MANAGER in my ADMINCP, this is what I had as the URL for the icon:

<img src="/images/pics/book.gif" border="0">

Then when I changed this to the following:

<img src="images/pics/book.gif" border="0">

And NOW it works! The thing to note here is the forward slash "/" I had added in front of the word "images" - this is what caused my images to show up as empty spaces in front of my forum titles.

Thanks!
