Forum Home Enhancements - Status Icons - Different Images for each Forum with opacity!

If you want to have different images for each forum that you have created inside your vbulletin board as you can see in this two picture:


Before (pay attention: there are some category with opacity 0.5: this are the category with old threads)



After (firefox icon is changed)



For doing this you have to install before this Add-on: Forum Icons (I put as attachment the product that you need)
BUT
1. Install only the product
2. Go Into Admincp --> Forum and Moderators; Modify each forum putting the path of each image where it says "Add the path to the icon image here."
3. Go Into Admincp --> Styles and Templates --> Manage Templates;
Edit forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Find:

            <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" />

Replace With:

            <vb:if condition="$forum['iconlocation']">
                <img src="{vb:raw forum.iconlocation}" class="forumicon" alt="{vb:raw forum.title}" style="opacity: <vb:if condition="$forum['statusicon'] == 'old'">0.5<vb:else />1</vb:if>;" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" />
            <vb:else />
                <img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_statusicon}/{vb:raw forum.imageprefix}forum_{vb:raw forum.statusicon}-48.png" class="forumicon" id="forum_statusicon_{vb:raw forum.forumid}" alt="" />
            </vb:if>

If you want, you can change the opacity searching "0.5" in my code.
Enjoy it and don't forget to Mark as Installed!

Ps: sorry for my bad english, i'm Italian

That other user didn't mark his code as reusable. Did you obtain permission before releasing this?

i think that it wouldn't be such a great problem, because i'm linking to his mod and i didn't make any change to his product...it's not a very big thing, just 5 rows of template modification...

thanks for the thanks :P
this is one of my first mod that I share with the community

I dont think it's ur mod, the old xml from elmer and the new replace code for vb4 make it become ur mod?

[Gamempire]

my mod is the replacing of some rows of a templates...
i specified that the product is of another person..

well guys, i'm a coder, and i spent time for doing this mod for me, and i decided to share my work with the community spending other time...
so, I do not care to spend time to be criticized by you, then tell me, and i remove this mod...

You are a community of ungrateful

thanks a lot!

[Gamempire]

i edited the mod, read at the top..

It worked and I like it but can we add some more things to this.
1) the pictures need to be bigger for each of the Forums, how to make them show bigger?
2) i don't like the way the picture is so faded when it is a case that the Forum contain old posts only. I'd like the picture to be bright and clear always the same as when there are new posts.
