You can now do this by using a conditional in the template.

<img border="0" src="img_$forumid.gif" />

and then just upload the img_n.gif where n is the number of the forum

If you just have a few categories, you can narrow this down.

<if condition="($forumid == 1) OR ($forumid == 5) OR ($forumid == 19)">
<img border="0" src="img_$forumid.gif" />
<else />
normal vbulletin code
</if>

see...i don't get this. Where do i put <img border..... ?

I usualy have about 20 forums and some of them also have subforums.

The forumhome template set templates.
Like forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost is used for the categories and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post for the forums in it. The others are used for forumdisplay.php pages (after clicking a category).

You can upload the images into the images/misc dir and link to them in the <img .. /> tag with src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/img_$forumid.gif"

For example, if you want to add the images to the category, you can edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost template and find the code just after:

<tbody>
<tr>

and in front of:

<td class="tcat" colspan="<if condition="$vboptions[showmoderatorcolumn]">6<else />5</if>">

You can add another table cell there, so you can include an image:

<td width="30" class="tcat">
<if condition="($forumid == 1) OR ($forumid == 5) OR ($forumid == 19)">
<img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/img_$forumid.gif" />
<else />
<img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/img_default.gif" />
</if>
</td>

Of course, modify the <if conditional> to your forumid's.


You can do the same for the other templates, to replace the on/off images.

In the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post

find this code:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" /></td>

and replace it with something like:

<td class="alt2">
<if condition="($forumid == 6) OR ($forumid == 18) OR ($forumid == 25)">
<img border="0" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/img_$forumid.gif" />
<else />
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" />
</if>
</td>


I hope this guides you
