[vB4] StatusIcons Change Extension .PNG to .GIF

[olijo]

I try to find in the stylevar and template manager how to change the statusicon extension.
Example : "category_forum_old.png"
If i want to make : "category_forum_old.gif" How to do it ?
I don't found in the template and the stylevar, so ?

For people who want to know WHY : simply to have animated icons.

You'd need to edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post templates. This isn't a stylevar, you need to edit the templates and manually update the way the image is called.

The easiest way would be to add a replacement variable. (Admin > Styles & Templates > Replacement Variable Manager)

The search for text would be category_forum_old.png and the replacement would category_forum_old.gif

If you have a fair few styles, you can add the following code to config.php and then you'll see a style called Master Style, if you add it to that style, all of your other styles will inherit it saving you the hassle of entering it multiple times. Well I'm pretty sure it would, I've never tried it myself - I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

$config['Misc']['debug'] = true;

Please never use debug mode on a live site.

If any of those Child Styles have modified templates where the image would be displayed, this change would have no effect, save that of introducing the danger of someone wrecking their MASTER STYLE and having to reimport it.

There's no need to touch that style, just make a new Style and move all the others under it if you want to try something like that.
