Forum Home Enhancements - Forum Icons

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:

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

Replace it with:

<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

I saw this plugin and said to myself it's great. Just before I did an install I read the whole thread and someone said to write html in the description (AdminCP -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Description).

so if you just put that at the beginning of your text:

<img src="path/to/icons/your_icon.png" align="left" border="0" />My forum description.

it does the same thing if I'm not mistaken? Or maybe this plugin does more? So no need to install a plugin or change any templates. Except if you want something like some people requested, to put the icon to take the full size, it may be an interesting plugin.

but with this code in template forum you can use AN icon for A forum and with this mod ( if work ) is possible to have a different icon for a different forum.
