I am not sure, but I didn't find such option in MyBB, and at least on the mods page I didn't find anything like it...
Basically what I need is the option to add
individual icons for each category or forum. Currently I think you can only add icons for forums, which would same for each forum.
Thanks
Well you can add an icon to any forum or category, by using html image tags to the forum or category description in the forum managment.

Thank you, that's one possble solution, but i'd like to be able to add those to the left of category name and description, because the description size would be huge, if I added the images there. ^^
Has anyone made a mod like this yet? I would also like to have icon images for each of my forums, so I can use them in my portal page along with multiple announcement forums to make a portal page similar to Slashdot.
I have this setup with phpBB using this mod:

If nobody has attempted this, I can try to hack something together, but I am very new to MyBB.

Yes... sort of. I don't think they have done any mod to achieve this. They are simply putting an image in the Forum Description text field. The Forum Description allows HTML tags, so you can just put <img ref="icon.gif"> in there and it should show up on the index like they have.
But what I would like is to show the icon by itself (without the description) on the portal annoncements, next to the thread name. I actually want to use the portal as a sort of blog-style view of my whole forums, not just announcements. By default, if you specify multiple forums for portal announcements it does not show which forum the announcement is from. I think to do this the icon needs to be stored in the database separate from the description of the forum.
This is what I think is needed:
- new column in the forums DB table to store the icon filename
- new field in the admin CP page for editing forum configuration to specify the icon path
- change the template that lists forums on the index page to show the icon in a column next to the name
- change the portal template to show the icon next to the announcement titles
Unfortunately I've only been using myBB for about a week, and the template system especially is very confusing to me. I tried to do this myself but I have no idea how/where to edit the templates. Also, even if I figure out how to do it, I don't really know how to make it a mod others can use... so I would prefer someone with more experience to attempt it...
