Installation


In the template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post,

Find:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><strong>$forum[title]</strong></a>

Add above:

<a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img border="0" src="images/misc/iconforums/$forum[forumid].gif" hspace="4px" align="left"/></a>

Create a folder "iconforums" into your images/misc folder. Upload your icons in images/misc/iconforums.

Indicate a forumid for the images name.

Example:
ID Forum = 3. So your image have this name : "3.gif"
ID Forum = 7. So your image have this name : "7.gif"

You must have an icon for each forum.

where's the file ?!?!

Super mod! Installed with ease ,tho, i'm still struggling with the alignment !
Tried the setup from Rideharder and had no good results!

I'm running 3.8.6 , if anyone found out a way to do it, it would really cool to know how

[fxwoody]

Ok, not sure if it will work for every one but i pasted the code in the subforum and got little icons showing too

Here's what i did:

Find this in the "forumhome_subforumbit_post" (you will need to edit every style template that you have)

PHP Code:

<img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/subforum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /> <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]">$forum[title]</a> 


Add the modified code before it:

PHP Code:

            <!---iconforums--->
                        <a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img border="0" src="images/misc/iconforums/$forum[forumid].png" hspace="2px" align="left" width="25px" height="25px" /></a>
            <!---/iconforums---> 


FTP the image to match the forumdisplay , adjust the Width & Height to your taste, and it should be all good

[fxwoody]

Just in case anyone would like this for V4.xxx
Reminder: don't forget to change the extension to your images (.jpg .gif .png)
also, adjust the size with in the codes for better fit on your board

Have fun!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~VB 4.1.1~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Find in "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post":

				<div class="datacontainer">
					<div class="titleline">
						<h2 class="forumtitle"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}">{vb:raw forum.title}</a></h2>
						<vb:if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="viewing">({vb:raw forum.browsers} {vb:rawphrase viewing})</span></vb:if>
					</div>
					<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>

Replace with:

  			<div class="datacontainer">
                                    <img src="images/misc/iconforums/{vb:raw forum.forumid}.png" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px;" />
                                <div>
                                    <h2 style="font-weight:bold; font-size:13px;"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}">{vb:raw forum.title}</a></h2>
                                       <vb:if condition="$show['browsers']"><span class="viewing">({vb:raw forum.browsers} {vb:rawphrase viewing})</span></vb:if>
                                       <vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p>{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></div>

If you have subforums

In "forumhome_subforumbit_post" replace with this:

<li class="subforum">
<img class="inlineimg" src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}subforum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" /> 
<vb:if condition="$depth > 1"></vb:if>
<a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}">{vb:raw forum.title} <img src="images/misc/iconforums/{vb:raw forum.forumid}.png" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="float: left; margin-right: 4px; width: 25px; height: 25px;"/></a>
</li>

There's a way to put the images on the right (next forum title) and not on the left?

You mean after the text?

1-

PHP Code:

<div style='float:left'><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img border="0" src="images/misc/iconforums/$forum[forumid].gif" hspace="4px" align="left" /></a></div>

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid],array('2','3','4'))"><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img border="0" src="images/misc/iconforums/$forum[forumid].gif" hspace="4px" align="left" /></a></if> 


3-

<if condition="in_array($forum[forumid],array('2','3','4'))"><div style='float:left'><a href="forumdisplay.php?$session[sessionurl]f=$forum[forumid]"><img border="0" src="images/misc/iconforums/$forum[forumid].gif" hspace="4px" align="left" /></a></div></if> 


Note: if using fixes 2 and 3, replace ('2','3','4') with the forum IDs you want the image to be show. I hope you don't wonder "why the new uploaded image for forum 50 isn't be showing up?" -> ADD THE ID THERE! :P

*Untested code*

thank you very much RenatoMN. i used code 2 worked great 3.8.7.
how annoying having an "x" on every forum where you dont need to use an image only with IE.
cheers mate.

[montsa007]

How do i add icons in child forums?

[Fready]

This works on vB 3.8 and it is much easier to use, no templates to edit;
