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 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 :

Yeah .. since there was a similar version for VB4 I haven't ported this one for vb4 ...

Here is the vb4 version :

since the vb4 version has some additional *.JS files it will increase your page load time a little bit (not so much)

I hope it helps
