Hi, I've a question.

Will this hack automatically resize the icons or do you've to specifically choose icons from the same sizes?

I am a newbie here and have what may seem like a dumb question.

I understand how to do everything in the directions except - "run query."

Please inform.

Thanks.

blkatt57 · #45 01-03-2005, 01:55 PM

Figured it out.

Thanx.

If you want a spacer between your Text and the Forum Icon, you need to add a little HTML right after the code <img scr="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/homeicon/intros.gif" align="left"> in the Category Icon by this : <img src="spacer.gif" width="7" height="60" align="left">
Notice : try to reduce the icon image path length, something like <img src="images/homeicon/intros.gif" align="left"><img src="spacer.gif" width="7" height="60" align="left">, so it will be able to fit in the Category Icon Field , adjust the height of the spacer with the length of your forum description so all the text will be seperated with the icon. You don't need the spacer image .
Good luck

Hi,

Does anyone know how to reverse the SQL query of this hack.

It's

ALTER TABLE forum ADD (
forumhomeicon VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
)

And I un-installed the hack

Thanks in advance

I added images to my forum titles by simply doing template mods found in this thread at vB.com:

assuming that the "forumhomeicon" is not containing any needed info:

[SQL]ALTER TABLE `forum` DROP `forumhomeicon`;[/SQL]
