There is already such a hack available , been using it for quite some time

I released this hack some time ago, but i had it deleted. But i have decided to bring it back, if your not talking about this hack. Then which would you be refering to?

The one without query to run and file to edit.

I can release it but without file to edit then it's not hack any more

Logikos · #16 10-09-2004, 02:02 PM

I know how to do this via templates, but it much more orginized when the control is right there in your admincp, so much esier to edit and add new ones, ect...

Just a personal prefrence of mine, that i wanted to share.

Good job thanks

No problem Live Wire

About your hack, I think it needs a bit more detail about where to place the $forum[forumhomeicon]

I guess this si the same as this post why take the risk of running queries at the database

Nice hack anyway

Logikos · #21 10-12-2004, 10:04 AM

This hack does not run queries at the database to grab the icon. I've installed a clean default vBulletin version 3.0.3 on my localhost, and there are 9 queries executed when going to the forumhome.

After installing my hack there are still only 9 queries executed when showing the forumhome, and you can have 100 forums with 100 icons, and no addtional queries are executed. The diffrence between that one and my, besides the fact that his is a template mod, mine makes it much more more orginized, and easy to get to.

But we're in a world of choice.... ^^
