Miscellaneous Hacks - Add Icons to ForumHome or/and Forumdisplay by Uploaded images

I've just read this Thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1306419) by powerful_rogue .
Then I think that no one did this way before.

So here is the tutorial.

Open template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post => For Forumhome only!

Find:

            <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

Add before:

<! -- forum icon by www.vuiveclub.net -->
      <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT === 'index'">
<table>
    <tr>
  <td>
<img border="0" width="60" height="60" src="images/$forumid.gif"/>
        </td></if>
        <td>
<! -- / end forum icon -->
</if>

Then Find:

    <td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>

Add before too:

<! -- end forum icon by www.vuiveclub.net -->
      <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT === 'index'">
</tr>
</table>    
</td>
</if>
<!-- / end forum icon -->

Save and Done!

Make sure that these 2 conditionals are the same!

For Forumdisplay too - edit template forumhome_forumbit_level1_post

Find:

            <td><img src="$vboptions[cleargifurl]" alt="" width="9" height="1" border="0" /></td>
            <td>
            <div>

Add below:

<!-- forum icon -->
<table> <tr> <td> <img src="images/$forumid.gif" border="0" width="60" height="60" align="left" />
<!-- / forum icon -->

Find:

        </td>
        <td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>

Add before:

        <!-- end forum icon --> </td></tr></table><!-- / end forum icon -->

Now You have to Upload your Icons to images/$forumid.gif
(Change images/ to your own folder)


If you wanna Show Icons for Forumhome, Forumdisplay and sub-Forumdisplay - Delete conditionals
Show Icons on Forumhome only - Leave these conditions default
Show Icons on Forumdisplay only - Do not Edit forumhome_forumbit_level2_post, edit forumhome_forumbit_level1_post only.

And more ?

Will get you the same results and probably be a lot less resource intensive. Instead of two function calls within an IF statement, you just have the comparison you want.

other thing is for one reason or an other I lost the mouse radio sellection click and seem now only working with the wheel to sellect language and multi menu tad boxes

I got error when i go modify forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

The conditional on line 14 appears to be missing its beginning tag (<if>). This may cause unexpected behavior.


This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

This is my template

<tr align="center">
	<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
	<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]">
		<div>
			<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>
			<if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="smallfont">(<phrase 1="$forum[browsers]">$vbphrase[x_viewing]</phrase>)</span></if>
		</div>
		<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>
		<if condition="$show['forumsubscription']"><div class="smallfont"><strong><a href="subscription.php?$session[sessionurl]do=removesubscription&amp;f=$forum[forumid]" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase[unsubscribe_from_this_forum]</a></strong></div></if>
		<if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont" style="margin-top:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if>
	</td>
	<td class="alt2" nowrap="nowrap">$forum[lastpostinfo]</td>
	<td class="alt1">$forum[threadcount]</td>
	<td class="alt2">$forum[replycount]</td>
	<if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']">
	<td class="alt1"><div class="smallfont">$forum[moderators]&nbsp;</div></td>
	</if>
</tr>
