Custom icons per forum - where?

[Razasharp]

Kier said there would be custom icons per forum... but I can't see where to specifiy these

Anyone know where to look?

(It's not in ACP > Post Icons)

[Mez]

ACP => Forums & Moderators -> Manage Forums -> Edit Forum -> Prefix for Forum Status Images

[Razasharp]

That's a bummer! I thought they were going to be custom post icons per forum

Can we use images for thread prefixes?

[Sir_Brizz]

You can for the rich text version, just put the <img> html right in there and point it to one of your post icons.

Now, I am confused. Is there a way to use this 'prefix for Forum Status Images' function to add the custom icons per forum Kier talked about in the announcement?

I would also like to know if this is possible?

I believe that's already possible you just have to create a different folder on the server for each forum and put it's custom forum icon in there. (For every forum you want to have a custom icon). For me, and many of us, that means a bunch of folders! LOL

Or have them all in one folder and name them all differently like this:

1forum_link.gif
1forum_new.gif
1forum_new_lock.gif
1forum_old.gif
1forum_old_lock.gif

2forum_link.gif
2forum_new.gif
2forum_new_lock.gif
2forum_old.gif
2forum_old_lock.gif

Im' having a lot of trouble with this. It seems that it doesn't work at all. I've already done the above. Is it correct that if i put the prefix "h3" and have the files in statusicon names "h3forum_new.gif", would that be correct?

[holyrhapsody]

A little help?

It wasn't mentioned you also have to goto:


ACP -> Forum Manager -> Edit Forum -> Prefix for Forum Status Images

put the prefix for the image you want.

Edit: I haven't tested it but I believe you will also have to make sure you place the same icon in all your style/statusicon folders or you may have broken images.

Anyone any ideas on how to get this to work? I have tried all kinds of ways.I just get a blank area where the icon is suppose to be.

[Crashys]

I'm also with same problem... :|

Here are some example's on how it works.

Simply create your prefix. Try to be consistent.


Then name your status icons like below. Make sure the prefix has the / for folders.

Isn't it just possible to have different folders, and have the folder name as prefix???

Then name your status icons like below. Make sure the prefix has the / for folders.

1. ACP>Thread Prefix>Create new. I created "custom1_"
2. I created a "custom1_" directory at forum root. I created all of the forum icons exactly as you point out in the "custom1_forum_link.gif and so on and so on
3. ACP>Forum Manager>Forum Edit>added my prefix /custom1_

Saved and checked my forum. Nothing changes
