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

There must be a way to make the forum name move to the right of the icon, so the icon does not sit under the title.

Elmer? Anyone?

[compact123]

this is impossible? so is there a way to display it as shown in this picture?

How can I replace some original forum icons with a different one, not an additional one?

Just replace the original icons with your own that are found in the "images/statusicon" folder

Oo sorry, meant that for each forum I want a different image for each. How do I do this? Thx.

Anyone get this to work with subforums?

The fix for subforums should be to add the same code to forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost in the same spot, I think.
