Forum Icons · **Released**: 12-03-2009

Forum Icons is a product that adds an option in the edit/add new forum page to set a forum icon.

To make it work, you will need to make a template modification, I did try to do it with a plugin, but got frustrated trying but failing to make it work.

I promise I will be looking into this so we don't have to edit any template, but in the meantime...

How to Install:

1- Upload the product xml file.
2- Edit forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace it with:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription"><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px;" /></vb:if>{vb:raw forum.description}</p>
					<vb:elseif condition="$forum['iconlocation']" /><p class="forumdescription"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></p></vb:if>

If you use it, please mark it as installed

As this Mod isn't supported it's up to the posters to help out.
So you might wait a long time for things like that.
The mod works and some extras have been mentioned about moving the picture to different places, so I'd just go with what is here for now.

dangerin · #**125** 02-05-2010, 10:30 AM

Thanks but i've done all and the image do not appear.
where you indicate iconlocation i've put my address for example /images/statusicon/forum/xxxxx.jpg or gif or png but i do not see.
Also if i put the address indicated how can i change an icon for every forum? i thought and i've read that it was possible. it's correct?
thanks

Should use the full path to test. Use IE if you see a red X, it's bad link, if you dont see anything, it's wrong code.

So revert the template and do like my post #119:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=119

For who want place it nearby the forum description:

Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace with:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float:left; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px;" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p><vb:else /><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></vb:if>

Edit the red pixel number to style it fix your design.

Below code is for who wanna make it below the forum description:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float:left; padding-left: 2px; padding-right: 2px;clear: both;" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/></vb:if></vb:if>

It's easy to help if you give your link
