Forum Home Enhancements - Status Icons - Different Images for each Forum with opacity!

If you want to have different images for each forum that you have created inside your vbulletin board as you can see in this two picture:


Before (pay attention: there are some category with opacity 0.5: this are the category with old threads)



After (firefox icon is changed)



For doing this you have to install before this Add-on: Forum Icons (I put as attachment the product that you need)
BUT
1. Install only the product
2. Go Into Admincp --> Forum and Moderators; Modify each forum putting the path of each image where it says "Add the path to the icon image here."
3. Go Into Admincp --> Styles and Templates --> Manage Templates;
Edit forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

            <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="" />

Replace With:

            <vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']">
                <img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" class="forumicon" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="opacity: <vb:if condition="$forum['statusicon'] == 'old'">0.5<vb:else />1</vb:if>;" 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>

If you want, you can change the opacity searching "0.5" in my code.
Enjoy it and don't forget to Mark as Installed!

Ps: sorry for my bad english, i'm Italian

Hi,
why you don´t use the original VB Options?
The only Thing is you must make 2 Icons for each forum.
1 New
1 Old

You can set the Icon Prefix in the Forumoptions.

this didnt work for 4.02

It shows BOTH the forum image and icon to the side. So two of the same image!

Yes I have the same thing so have uninstalled for now.

Shows the Forum icon in transparent when read fine.
But still shows the original Category icon to the right.

Is this correct?

Did you delete this in the Template?:

<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="" />

Yes I did - but look at this code

<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']">
<img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" class="forumicon" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="opacity: <vb:if condition="$forum['statusicon'] == 'old'">0.5<vb:else />1</vb:if>;" 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>

It repeats what you're suppose to delete at the end...So that code is still there
