Forum Home Enhancements - Forum Icons ( MyLs1 Style )

This is a mod alot of people wanted me to release so here it is.

What it does: It displays an icon for each forum.

Demo: http://www.myls1.com

########## INSTALL ##########

Admin CP >> Styles & Templates >> Edit Templates >> Forum Home Templates >> forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

PHP Code:

<tr align="center">
    <td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>
    <td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="f$forum[forumid]"> 


Add underneat:

PHP Code:

<div style="float: left; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forumid.gif" alt=""/></div> 


########## / INSTALL ##########

Now the deal is that you have your own icons and you have to name each file with the number of the id of each forum.

So you go to Forums & Moderators >> Forum Manager

And click on any child forum (not subforum), for example in our case New Members, and look at the top for the Forum id... then you rename the .gif file with the number of the forum id, like: 2.gif

Upload them onto the images / statusicons folder

Now that file will display on that forum, and you go like that for each forum you have.

I have uploaded a PSD file for you to use if you need to make your own.
Is a 40 x 40 px file.

Enjoy!
Ask if you have any question.

Thanks for your help.

most welcome if it helps but best lesson is how good questions get the best answers.

Or, as in this case ... physician, heal thyself.

I expect the more proper analogy was that a good dianosis was that once you stated your symptoms instead of you was having a heart attack that it became more appearnt that you only needed rolaids and not a doctor.

Folks looking for help need to learn to post meaningful post asking for it and they will find they get better help due to it.

In case anyone's interested (either in a happy ending or further busting my chops) ...



Kudos to the author of this mod. Many thanks.

[Gladhatter]

I am interested in chop busting that ends with a happy ending when no other method gets the job done.

Congrats on a happy ending here.

[Noosphere]

I see. In addition to pointing out the false dichotomy between the eventual achievement of said happy ending and there being "no other method" to "get the job done," I accept your sincere congratulations and thank you for nudging me to figure it out for myself. I am more learned today as a result.

With that, I am done. Please feel free to claim the last word.

[Gladhatter]

Word! Actually no falsity to it just a trasendsition you made from user to coder and thus became one and same and removed what was once falsely considered to be false but now is true.

The pleasure is all Ours. Yours, mine and the community for we have most all grown in the exchange and you the better off for it.

Now the floor is yours for your final new enlightment and acknowledgement of it.
