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

Hello,

Is it possible to make the same mod. like this;

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ht=multiFicons

Kind regards

I have tried the vb4 version and it seems to be fine and the htkml codes can be used there.
If you want the icon to allign with the description and the heading, then probably you might wanna go ahead and use this hack, but for me, simple html codes work.
for example use the following codes, when describing the name of the forum:

<img src="/cat_icons/games1.png" border="0"> Forum Games

and it should display the icon besides you forum name.
please remember to upload a category of icons and then give the path.

You create a folder through ftp say called "icons" inside the images folder

then add the images in there

K I had the icons set up like that since vb 3.8.4 since I used a similiar mod like this before, the icons are in an images/icons folder and they are named by the forum id such as: 16.gif 17.gif etc..

But how do I make them show up for each forum that I want them to show up? That is my question.

When you make a new forum Name and below is the description, In the Description box

<img src="/cat_icons/games1.png" border="0"> Forum Games

Not sure if it will work in the name, haven't tried, but in the description box it does, you can use Photobucket, tiny pic embed/url code (not the BBC code link) as well

[Bouncer222]

So all I have to do is put that in the description and the icon will show up? If so, what is the point of the modification posted in this mod description?
