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

well.....your talking about 2 different ways to get the Icons. The mod is a template edit and the other way is a manual html edit. 2 different ways to accomplish the same thing. Its kinda a hassle to do it manual but you have options

Seems like you should just be able to remove the notifier icon image and replace it with the forum icon.

Voted Excellent!!!!

Could someone please write better directions for all the steps to help others.

Here is what mine looks like just with two forums icons so far. Check out my site for changes that will come as I work on the icons slowly and pick them carefully.

Is there any way to modify this mod so it looks like this? (I'm in the process of converting from SMF to VB)

I am also looking for what MD and another user said earlier to make the icons go to the left instead of under the forum titles. Also making the those icons linkable with the same link as the forum icon.
