Forum Home Enhancements - Forum Icons

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:

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

Replace it with:

<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

<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/iconname.jpg" border="0" />

and you have icons in all subforums as well.

This works very well. Thanks

change? the second code (with the width 90%) is what you have in your original instructions.

I also have the icon sitting on top of the forum title.

updates?

I can't get this to work. I installed it, then went to forum manager -> edit forum -> forum icon configuration and put in the link. Nothing. I tried putting the link in a few different ways. Nothing shows up.
If I put the link in the address bar it shows up so I know the link is good.
