[Solved] Different Forum Icon For Each Forum?

[Bacon Butty]

Hi,

I am sure I have seen this but cant seem to find it via search.

Basically looking for a mod/method which would enable me to have a different icon next to each forum?;

Thanks, but I am pretty sure I saw a modification for this a while ago?

No Mod needed. Go to the Forum Manager > select your forum to edit > Prefix for Forum Status Images (This prefix will be used on status image filenames for a forum, it must contain A-Z, 0-9, -, _, . and /)

Prefix for Forum Status Images
Forum Status images are usually shown alongside the forum in a forum listings to indicate the read status.

This prefix must only contain alphanumerical characters, though the following are also allowed - _ / ., a folder name is also acceptable to be placed within the status icon directory.

The following images are currently in use for status icons, you will need to create images with the specified prefix to match.

• forum_link.gif
• forum_new.gif
• forum_new_lock.gif
• forum_old.gif
• forum_old_lock.gif

Thanks Lynne,

I have tried that by following this but despite the seemingly obvious instructions, I cant seem for the life of me to be able to figure it out

What is your prefix and what are the names of your new icons? Also, are you making sure to put your newly made icons into the correct image folder for your style?

My newly made icons are;

* blueroom_link.gif
* blueroom_new.gif
* blueroom_new_lock.gif
* blueroom_old.gif
* blueroom_old_lock.gif

They are in the correct image folder for the style.

I have tried several prefix in the "Prefix for Forum Status Images" section of forum manager, could you tell me how to display the above correctly?

Try:
blueroom_

[Bacon Butty]

I have, no luck...

[Lynne]

Do you have a link to the page that isn't showing the icons?

edit: You've got the names wrong, they should be:

* blueroom_forum_link.gif
* blueroom_forum_new.gif
* blueroom_forum_new_lock.gif
* blueroom_forum_old.gif
* blueroom_forum_old_lock.gif
