Ok folks.
For all of you who want Category Icons including the "new post", "no new post", "forum closed" capabilities, here is a quick and simple solution provided by Andreas What this hack does: Instead of the standard forum icons like or , ... you can now have separat status icons for every forum you have. It is that simple Templates forumhome_forumbit_level_... search: Code:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /> Code:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum$forum[forumid]_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /> forumID_new.gif, forumID_old.gif,... Example: forum1_new.gif If you want to have different icons for subforums on forumhome as well: In forumhome_subforumbit_nopost and forumhome_subforumbit_post search for: Code:
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/subforum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /> Code:
<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/subforum$forum[forumid]_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /> subforumID_old.gif subforumID_new.gif Example: subforum22_old.gif I don't use this hack so I have no screenshots, but If anyone is trying this, it would be cool if you could provide some screenshots.

Hi starbug
My template Code:
<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td> I tried to replace the forum_$forum[statusicon].gif to forum$forum[forumid]_$forum[statusicon].gif. But no icon was showed. Please help. |

A clarification please...
If I install this mod and edit the templates, will I have to have all of the images ready to go at the same time? In other words, can I get the code ready (installed), then start creating the individual forum category images (post, no post etc), installng them one forum at a time for testing? Thanks Regards, Badger |

sorry about this, but how do I even get my subforums to show up like that in the first place before I install this hack?

Does any of you guys know, how to DISABLE these forum icons on the main page completely?
So no icons for new messages, closed forum etc. on the index.php page.... Thanks in advance |

You just remove the information from the template completely....NOT the entire template....just the information for the icons.

Hello,
Been a while since I last posted in thsi thread but after finishing off a few other projects for the site I'm on I finally got back to sorting out the issue I was having as it still wasn't working with the last code MThornback had suggested to me. After some perseverance I found out it was because of the url that I had been using in the plugin code that MThornback had suggested. I had use the full url i.e. http://www.google.co.uk whereas it requires a relative url ./images/etc Just thought I'd mention that for those that come across the same issue. Also after some more experimentation I'd like to post a slightly revised version of MThornback's suggested plugin to show you're default icons. It's certainly not much different but it will check each forum status icon exists rather than just the new version of each. This was pretty crucial for us because we did't want custom versions of the locked icons mainly because we were lazy but it's certainly helped us anyway. "make a new plugin on the forumbit_display hook." Code:
$showCustom[$forum['forumid']] = false; if (is_file("./images/skin_name_here/statusicon/forum".$forum['forumid']."_$forum[statusicon].gif")) { $showCustom[$forum['forumid']] = true; } So in summary this is just a slight update on MThornback's suggested code for the plugin for default status icons in conjunction with the custom status icon plugin. And remember to check if you're using a relative url or not if you find the default icons not working. A clear sign of it not working properly is all the icons becoming default as the function checking if the image exists will always return false if it isn't the correct url. |

I using vB 3.6.7 and I can't for the life of me find the following code in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost:
Code:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /> Code:
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /> This is my current level1_nopost template: Code:
<!-- separate catergories --> <if condition="$forum[forumid] != 1"> </table> <br /> <table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center"> </if> <!-- / separate catergories --> <tbody> <tr> <td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>"> <a style="float:$stylevar[right]" href="#top" onclick="return toggle_collapse('forumbit_$forumid')"><img id="collapseimg_forumbit_$forumid" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/collapse_tcat{$collapseimg_forumid}.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a> <if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if> <if condition="$show['subforums']"><div class="smallfont"><strong>$vbphrase[subforums]</strong>: $forum[subforums]</div></if> </td> </tr> <!-- separate catergories --> <tr align="center"> <td class="thead"> </td> <td class="thead" width="80%" align="$stylevar[left]">$vbphrase[forum]</td> <td class="thead" width="20%">$vbphrase[last_post]</td> <!-- replaced by custom thread / post count <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[threads]</td> <td class="thead" width="5%">$vbphrase[posts]</td> --> <if condition="$vboptions['showmoderatorcolumn']"> <td class="thead" width="0%">$vbphrase[moderator]</td> </if> </tr> <!-- / separate catergories --> </tbody> <if condition="$childforumbits"> <tbody id="collapseobj_forumbit_$forumid" style="{$collapseobj_forumid}"> $childforumbits </tbody> </if> |
