Mini Mods - add pictures to your forum without any plug in

Dear all,

This modification helps you to add picture to each section in your forum --

For example

You have three sections in your forum

1- Sports
2- Medical news
3- discussion and feed back

You can for each section one picture indicate for your forum


Please see this example in attach

The steps:

1- Open the template: forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Search for:

PHP Code:

$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif 


replace with

PHP Code:

$forumid.gif 


2- Open the template: forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Search for:

PHP Code:

$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif 


Replace with

PHP Code:

$forumid.gif 


And save both templates


- Please upload your pic to statusicon folder in your default style or your style

- This depend on your formid number

== For example your forum sport have id # 2 then you save the ball pic like (2.gif)

= check what your forum id and save each picture for each forum id


Thank you

Right-click on the X, properties..

Will show you where the image SHOULD be located.. then go check and fix

If it is in the right spot, then it would have to be permissions..

Great idea, how could this be achieved?

Very useful. Only problem is that I can't get subforums to work.
