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!

            </vb:if>

Should be:

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:

                <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="" />

Not found within the Template.
I tried the above.
Anyway, I still can't get pictures to show on sub-forums.

Everything works great but is there a way to keep the Forum Icon from 'fading' if there are no new posts? I like the look and the color it brings to the site to keep them from fading.

I noticed this when I check in FF and they fade. Is there a setting for this?

[Kaleem]

Does it work in 4.0.3?

[Gamempire]

yes, no problem with no version it's only an opacity
