[high]What does this Plugin do?[/high]

Basically, this will allow you to have Custom Forum Status Icons for each forum - To have one image constantly displayed simply edit the options for each image replacement to the same image :devious:

[high]Are there any screenshots?[/high]

See post below

Also this is have an affect with the sub forums too.

I have the same problem!

Any suggestion?

[Kwikms]

I use this mod in my forum for quite a long time and like it very much Actually, I modified it to show other custom infos for every forum as well.

http://www.fehler-im-film.de/forum/f...play.php?f=389

You can see the images, but also "IMDB", "OFDB" and "Kino.de" custom links.

I added a field "Kinostart" (theatrical release) which has the date. But the format is english. I tried to get the german format without any success.

What I tried so far is

if ($forum['subinfos'] == 'kinostart')
{
$forum['customsubinfos'] = date("d.m.Y", strtotime($forum['kinostart']));
}

But then it is just empty.

Any ideas how to convert the date?

And another thing

I activated the option to show the forum infos on the forumdisplay with no subs also

http://www.fehler-im-film.de/forum/f...splay.php?f=53
(Herr der Ringe - Die Gef?hrten 2001; R: Peter Jackson; Mit: Noel Appleby, Sean Astin, Sala Baker, u.v.a. in this case).

I want to show the custom icon there as well but didnt get it to work. How can I do that?

ANY SUGGESTION FOR THIS PROBLEM? IS IMPORTANT!

Just I've moved my board to a subfolder in public_html, and Custom Status Icons seems don't find the images now: I must edit manually the location of each image to include the path of the new subfolder.

Am I missing something ?

Hi,

There doesn't seem there is much action in this forum but I'll try in anycase..

When you have more than one style active is there a way of making each style having it's own forum icons?

Thanks

Thanks

If you're using this particular hack, I would suggest that you just edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template & the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template, for each of the styles you want the modification to work on.

Does this work with 3.7?

[leannet]

I do not have this
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>

I have <td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

Is that the same thing, is there a reason my code is different?
