Informing my members that I have a New Forum Section

[dbirosel]

I want to add a blinking red message that says "*NEW*" in front of one of my forum sections that I just recently created. How do I do it?

Thanks,
Dante

Find in your forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template:

<strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

Add after:

<if condition="$forum[forumid] == 'X'"><img src="/path/to/newforum.gif" /></if>

Replace 'x' with the ForumID you'd like the icon displayed next to. This will display it to the right of the Forum's title as seen on Forum Home.

Thank you. This is simply using a conditional only? Wow... thanks!

Yes, conditionals are very versatile and quite useful in many circumstances.

Another fix to Kirk's code, refer to my other post for the reason.

<if condition="$forum['forumid'] == X"><img src="/path/to/newforum.gif" /></if>
