Custom Forum Status Icons
by: Ali.ch.
------------------

This mod was created by Chris M for vBulletin 3.5.x and you can find it Here. Thanks to him for this great mod, He has not developed this mod for higher versions of vBulletin so I decided to develope the second version of this great mod.
So Please note that All credits of this mod goes to him.


Introduction:

By installing this mod you will be able to change all forum status icons ( Forum old , Forum new ...) as you want easily.Its possible to turn off this mod for any forum that you want to be excluded.

You Can find the screen-shots below.

Installation:

• Fisrt try to install " product-chrism_customstatusicons.v.2.xml " which you can find in the zip file. For installing this file goto this location :Admin CP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import New Product

• Then Do below Template Modifications : (Thanks to inciarco for ideas )

Step 1: In the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template
Find :

PHP Code:

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


And Replace it with :

PHP Code:

<td><img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon'] and $forum[customicon]">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td> 


STEP 2 : In the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template

Find :

PHP Code:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td> 


And Replace it with :

PHP Code:

<td class="alt2"><img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon'] and $forum[customicon]">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td> 


Note : You can change ".gif " to other image extensions to use another image formats like "PNG" and "JPG"

Now It's Done! (Dont Forget to Click Installed )

Remember to Do The Template Edits Mentioned on the First Post of this Thread, Otherwise the Custom Icons Won't Appear.

Also Check if You're Trying to View the Custom Icons for Forums for Whick Apply the (nopost) Templates, "forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost" or the "forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost", because in that case you should Find the Right Lines to Include the Proper Template Edit Code Lines.

Also Check If You Checked "Yes" on the "Enable Custom Status Icons?" Yes/No Check Box.

Also Remember the Following Instructions:

Select yes to enable Custom Status Icons in this forum.
Turning this off will disable any custom images you enter below.
Please make sure all images are in RELATIVE PATHS i.e. /customicons/myimage.gif

But if you have your Forum/Board on a Location Different than the root of your Web Site, then the Relative Path Should NOT Include the First "/", then it Should be Like This:

customicons/myimage.gif

Without the First "/", otherwise it'll Point to the Root of the Web Site and not the Forum Location "www.yourforum.com/forum/".

(I Forgot to Mention This Last Tip that I Found when I Tried to Use the Image Path with the initial "/").

My Best Regards.
