Hi there, Installed this hack and double checked all steps again and again and the icons dont show at all?
Can anyone help me with this?
I tought it was easy.

Flow Fusion · #64 03-28-2005, 03:10 PM

AlexUK · #65 03-29-2005, 01:44 PM

Still have the same problem, no images show at all.
All the steps have been done correctly and I only have 1 syle in my forums.
Any help?

Did you make the changes in your templates to actually show the images? There are no specific instructions on exactly WHERE to put them in, so you need to know how to do a little on-your-own template changing.

AlexUK · #67 03-30-2005, 02:13 AM

Yeah I played around an no luck at all.

Here is what I put together on my site...

In forumhome_forumbit_level1_post:

Find:

PHP Code:


			
 <td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>
<td>

Add below this:

PHP Code:


			
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="20" align="center" valign="top">
$forum[forumhomeicon]</td>
<td>

Then find:

PHP Code:


			
 <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

Add below this:

PHP Code:


			
 </td>
</tr>
</table>

In forumhome_forumbit_level2_post:

Find:

PHP Code:


			
 <td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">

Add below this:

PHP Code:


			
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="20" align="center" valign="top">
$forum[forumhomeicon]
</td>
<td>

Then find:

PHP Code:


			
 <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>

Add below this:

PHP Code:


			
 </td>
</tr>
</table>

Naturally, change the table width (shown as 20 above) to the width you want. Note that if you do not have a category icon, this will put a blank space in front of each category. I think i tlooks better than having categories shifting back and forth, but that is just me. Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot, I will try this.

AlexUK · #70 03-30-2005, 03:01 AM

It failed to work again, I am really frustated with this now.
I tried different ways and the forums dont show up any images.
