How can I display thread icons inside the thread?

[fly]

In the threadbit template, I found this:

PHP Code:

    <if condition="$show['threadicons']">
        <td class="alt1"><if condition="$show['threadicon']"><img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" /><else />&nbsp;</if></td>
    </if> 


But am not really sure how to make that show up in the actual thread itself. Thanks for any ideas.

just use the exact same thing in showthread template

Just throwing the html in there won't work because $show['threadicon'] is only set in forumdisplay.php.

If you allow icons for all forums then that is not important to your set-up anyway, in such a case using this in the SHOWTHREAD template will work;

<img src="$thread[threadiconpath]" alt="$thread[threadicontitle]" border="0" />

Sadly, none of that is apparently set for the SHOWTHREAD template. Here is the actual HTML it generated:

<!-- Added -->
<img src="" alt="" border="0" />
<!-- Added -->

Any other ideas?

Hehe my bad...didn't know they weren't set in the latest version.

First thing you need to do is edit showthread.php.

Find this bit of code in showthread.php;

PHP Code:

$specialtemplates = array(
    'smiliecache',
    'bbcodecache',
    'mailqueue',
); 


Change it to;

PHP Code:

$specialtemplates = array(
    'smiliecache',
    'bbcodecache',
    'mailqueue',
    'iconcache'
); 


Now install the attached plug-in and edit the showthread template per the instructions above.

Sweet! Thanks man! This is really gonna help my forum. I assume the iconcache HAS to be there tho? No way to do this without file edits?

Yea the iconcache is needed..otherwise the plug-in would not function.

I could probably work around the file edit but it would be a mess...the 'easy' solution in this situation is to edit the file.
