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

Replace:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/><vb:else /><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" /></vb:if>

The forum without private icon will still display status icon. Do the same for forumhome_forumbit_level1_post for your subforum.

If you have forums without post, do again for nopost template.

#moveslow:

You can find on the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

<h2 class="forumtitle" >

Then add before:

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}"/></vb:if>

It's better with small icon and you can controll with css by class, .forumicon controls status icon so if you want to place that position, you should change the class, add new class and edit its style.

Awesome and thanks!!

I have it working fine on vb 4.1.5p1. You probably need to go back in and re-do your edits to the template, if the update stomped them.
