Hi guys,
How can I make custom icons for just 1 category with couple subforums?
I just want the subforums in my forum 'Tutorials' to have custom icons, not the Index!
[attachment=29432]
I do NOT want another row in it near the excisting icon, I want the icon to be replaced with the custom one.
Thankiesssssss!
This is a bit of a hack to get this going, but it works!
The easier version requires Google SEO. From your past threads it seems you already have it installed
.
Open Admin CP
Themes > your theme > templates > forumbit templates > forumbit_depth2_forum
Find:
<img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" />
Replace with:
<div class="{$lightbulb['folder']} ajax_mark_read {$forum_url}" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}"></div>
Head to your forum homepage, right click on the icon of the forum you want to change. on the bottom it should say something like "img@mark_read_11.ajax_mark_read.forum-announcements"
Now go to: Admin > themes > your theme > global.css
Add to the bottom:
.on, .off, .off-lock {width: 22px; height: 22px; }
.on { background: url(images/on.gif) no-repeat; }
.off { background: url(images/off.gif) no-repeat; }
.off-lock { background: url(images/off_lock.gif) no-repeat; }
.forum-announcements { background: url(path/to/your/img) no-repeat; }
Replace forum-announcements with the name we got earlier.
You can do this for as many forums as you'd like and is much easier/efficient then using a plugin to do it.
This is based off of the default theme so the 22px may need to be changed accordingly.
Hey,
It worked! Thanks so much
Some information:
- the forum announcements were divs so # not a .
- and I had to change my .off an .on image directery because of my theme
- And width & height were 30px
I got 1 issue though, but not with the tutorial.
A lot of the images are not showing in IE and Chrome, all work in firefox.
They are all .png files.
I've had this before, when I was helping someone with his website, but I forgot..
Anyone knows?
Try clearing the browser cache and cookies. Chrome is known to cache data and will not browse fresh contents.
Nobody?
This is how it looks like in Chrome/IE:

And this is what it looks like in Firefox: ( as it should be )

^ background image code for your subforums should be like below
.forum-internet--79 {background: url(images/Internet.png) no-repeat;}
not like this --> #mark_read_79.off.ajax_mark_read.forum-internet--79 {background: url(images/Internet.png) no-repeat;}
Cheers bro, u always got the right answer!
