Default icon only for the first message in a thread?

Hi there,

does anyone has a clue if it is hard to hack that?

Referring to http://161.58.84.213/forum/showthrea...threadid=19592 I would like to show a default icon only for the first Message in a topic, so that there's no "empty icon" on forumdisplay-view

Thanks for any hint,
-Tom

oh.
Good idea.

vbmoderators, you need an embarassed icon/smilie

When you turn this option on, it doesn't put the default icon in the subscribed messages section of the usercp.

A way to do this would be:

1. Turn off the option "Show Default Icon".

2. Go into PHPMyAdmin and change the default for the iconid field in the thread table. The default is ID 1.

Or you could use this query through telnet:

SQL-query: 
ALTER TABLE thread CHANGE iconid iconid SMALLINT (5) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '1' not null

Thanks a bunch freddie,
works peferct!

Wouldn't that cause default icons in all posts of the thread, which was the original problem?

My idea? No.. Each post also has an iconid which would still be set to zero by default.

In other words remove this from showthread.php

    if ($showdeficon) {
      $post[icon]='<img src="images/icons/icon1.gif" border="0" alt="">';
    }

and turn the option MasMind mentioned on.

I can't find this in showthread.php for version 2.0.2.. Whats the code I need to edit to do this with 2.0.2?

This is a very good question. I have the same problem. But, you have to figure everybody who can figure out how to do it is a little busy right now.

admin/functions.php

around line 125 or so, comment out the line. Basically that functionality moved into a function instead of being specific to showthread.php.

I went where you said and deleted the same code that used to be in showthread.php and it worked perfectly. Thanks again, dwh!!
