changing each forum statusicons

[jayjayjay]

Hey there!

Any ideas where/how to edit forums so that I can change the status icon for each forum, so that each forum has a different icon..

I've created them and uploaded them as old and new so they're both the same, just need to edit the template now or something..?

Thanks in advance.

1) Goto your admincp -> forum manager
2) Edit your forum witch you want to have a personal statusicon
3) Look for the Style options -> Prefix for Forum Status Images
4) Put here this code "f22/" were 20 is the forumid, now hit save.
5) Make in your style/statusicons folder a mapname "f22"
6) Upload your new icon like "forum_new.gif" and "forum_old.gif"
7) Done, refresh and have a look at your forum.
Repeat these steps for your other forums id's

Don't make the images to big as it would stretch your layout.

Cheers.

If someone is having truble, just go and edit:

• forumhome_forumbit_level1_post
• forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

Note: I'm using png images, if you use gif just search gif isnted of png...

Find:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].png" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

Replace with

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].png" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

The $forum[imageprefix] will identify wich prefix each forum has, and then insert into the image path.
This is very useful when you want different forums with same icons, but not every forum with the same.
