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

Thanks House MD, that worked just as you said.
The only real problem with any of this is that this will only show in on Style, day you have 2 or 3 Styles the pictures will only show in the one Style.

Does anyone know how to get over this so pictures would show in say 3 Styles?
I have a Thread on the topic where I know it works on 3.8 but for 4.0 there would need to be some code changes:

For some reason it is putting the icon on top of the Forum Title and not next to the title and description.

I'm not sure what to suggest - it's working fine here.

Change :

<div style="float: left;">

To :

<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">

Thanks! :up:

That worked until I changed my screen resolution to 1024 X 768. On 1400 X 1050 it worked perfectly, but making the resolution smaller put the icons on top of the forum titles again.

Change the width to 80% and see if that solves your issue.
