Forum Icons · **Released**: 12-03-2009

Forum Icons is a product that adds an option in the edit/add new forum page to set a forum icon.

To make it work, you will need to make a template modification, I did try to do it with a plugin, but got frustrated trying but failing to make it work.

I promise I will be looking into this so we don't have to edit any template, but in the meantime...

How to Install:

1- Upload the product xml file.
2- Edit forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace it with:

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription"><vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px;" /></vb:if>{vb:raw forum.description}</p>
					<vb:elseif condition="$forum['iconlocation']" /><p class="forumdescription"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></p></vb:if>

If you use it, please mark it as installed

It is possible to add the icon and title of the parent forum to a thread. Just add this code where you want it in SHOWTHREAD

HTML Code:

<div id="ThreadForum" class="pagetitle">
	<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['foruminfo']['iconlocation']"><img src="{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px;" /></vb:if>
	<h1><span class="forumtitle">{vb:rawphrase forum}: <a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw GLOBALS.forum}}">{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.title}</a></span></h1>
	<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS['foruminfo']['description']"><p class="description">{vb:raw GLOBALS.foruminfo.description}</p></vb:if>
</div>

I placed it just above {vb:raw poll} so it appears just under the breadcrumb.

It took a lot of trial and error to get this right - If you like what you see, please make a PayPal donation to mcs@sunwave.net to cover my time in getting this done. Thank you.

1) Install a fresh copy of this mod

2) Open up : Styles and Templates / Style Mananger / Edit Templates / Forum Home Templates / forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Look for :

Code:

<div class="datacontainer">

Add this code after that line :

Code:

<div style="float: left; margin-right: 5px;">
<vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}"><img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" /></a></vb:if>
</div>
<div style="float: left; width: 90%;">

Look for :

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace that line with :

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></div>

That's it! - Hit the "Save and Reload" button and your done.

This will show the icon to the left of the title and description. Also, if you hover your mouse over the icon, it will show that board titles name. If you click on the icon, it will take you to that boards location.

I hope you enjoy it - any donations would be greatly appreciated.

Here is what the results will look like :

thankyou

jrw422dx · #**227** 05-31-2014, 10:29 PM

Ignore I figure it out!! easy mod to add icons

Could I get some install instructions please? I see no detailed install instructions. What do you do as far as naming the icons, where to put them?

Jon

jrw422dx · #**228** 06-01-2014, 05:23 PM

How can they be made to show in the sub forums? When I click on a category they do not show up. Is it possible to have them show there too?

oldfan · #**229** 03-29-2023, 12:53 PM

Works with 4.2.5. thanks
