Forum Home Enhancements - Catagory Icons

Catagory Icons
Tested on 3.6.1
By Adrian at Development chat.com

Current Version: 1.0.1
1.0.1 Status: Working Fine.

Hey,

I noticed a few people around the 'net wanted a modification like this, It wasn't too hard so i thought i would give it ago.

You can specify a image path/url to use for your catagory icon, if none is specified, the forum will use vBulletins default image.
See bottom of post for screenshots

Installation
Import product-catagoryicons.xml (It should make the needed Mysql tables too)
Go to Options > Catagory Icons to enable the mod'.

Template Edits
Open Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
Find:

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

or

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace with:

<if condition="$vboptions[customimg_enabled] == 1">
	<if condition="$forum[customimg] == ''">
		<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

<else />
		<img src="$forum[customimg]" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

<else />
	<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

Save.
Open up Forum Home Templates > forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:

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

or

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

Replace with:

<if condition="$vboptions[customimg_enabled] == 1">
	<if condition="$forum[customimg] == ''">
		<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />

<else />
		<img src="$forum[customimg]" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

<else />
	<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" 

id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" />
</if>

Done.

That should be it.

To set catagory icons, just edit a forum, the image field is at the bottom.
If you have any problems, just ask.

If you use it, please click install.

Thanks.

Adrian

I installed the product and used ^^^ this guys template edits and everything working perfect on 3.8.2!! Thanks! :up:

I can't figure out what I have done wrong. Any idea why the subform cat icon table and the forum description table would be merged into one? My homepage is not like this. Just this sub forum.

Notice how the left column is very small and the icon is not technically even in it.

Installed and it works great. Thanks!

The onlt thing I wanted to know is if anyone could make a mod for this so that one could have the custom status icons still show status. Right now you upload a new pic and thats it, I'd like to have new, old, locked, etc for individual forums.

Thank you!

Sweet Thanks

I'm using the BlueDefault-fixed theme on my 3.8.5 forum and I made the template edits and enabled the mod but the icon still won't appear.

Any ideas?

One of the images I am using is this:

http://sparkonline.net/forums/images...iesta_logo.png

so I put in forums/images/icons/Fiesta_logo.png as the image url. Both links won't work though.

Friend...

This Mod work perfect in vb 3.8.5 but, NOT in categories of forums

This work perfect in FORUMS, for me work 100%, he change the icon forum_old or forum_new etc...

This Mod change the icons of the forums, the images ex. forum_old.gif or forum_new.gif not in categories but in forums ok?


Thanks,

Good Regards :up:
