Easy Forum Icons · **Released**: 10-07-2005

If anybody just needs a special icon on every forum, try the following...

Edit the 4 "forumhome_forumbit_"-templates... (Search templates by "forumhome_forumbit_")

search for:

Quote:

<div><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

add

Quote:

after the "div"-tag... so it looks like...

Quote:

<div><img src='/images/forumicons/$forum[forumid].gif' border='0' nosave align='right'><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

just add a folder called "forumicons" to your images directory...

put in an icon for every forum on your site... use this syntax:

[forumid].gif (can be changed s.o. to *.jpg or whatever you like...)

e.g. put "12.gif" to have the "12.gif"-image shown up on the right side of the forumbit of forum 12...

very easy...

remember: you need an icon for every forum on your site... some browsers wont show the broken-image-link, if you forgot one! test it (perhaps) with internet-explorer (hrrumpf), to see, if theres an icon missing!

fun & peace!

p.s. if u dont need an image on every single forum just put a blind-gif there... e.g. "gif.15" contains: nothing but a transparent pixel...

even a good idea (to be save), is to put the blind gif from 1-200 into the forumicons-folder. (1.gif, 2.gif, 3.gif a.s.o.) there are some free image-rename-tools on google for that job!

That's very attractive, good job!

Nice work, for everyone who is too lazy/doesn't know how to create 200 "dummy" gifs I attached the ones I use; please notice that I named them different so you'll have to either to change the names or change

Code:

 <img src='/images/forumicons/$forum[forumid].gif' border='0' nosave align='right'>

to

Code:

 <img src='/images/forumicons/picture ($forum[forumid]).gif' border='0' nosave align='right'>

I'm sure someone will find this usefull

edit; why can't we upload rars? :ermm:

offtopic: perhaps its not the upload... perhaps its the user, who downloads and doesnt know how to decompress rars...

The part of the code we must search for...

<div><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

...doesn't exist in the forumhome_forumbit (nopost) sections of the template. Where should the code go? Is it necessary to place it in the nopost templates?

I really love this mod, it cheers forum home up no end (psssst, add a trailing slash at the end of the img tag to make it XHTML compliant!).

perhaps you installed some template mods, that exchanged this code for something similar...

try to search the link for the forum-title ($forum[title])... right before that link... before "<a ..." post the above code...
