Full Version: How to replace Font Awesome with forum icons?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I recently upgraded my forum from 1.6 to 1.8. Everything works fine now, even better then before. I now use the Vienna theme with the Awesome Fonts. 

I like the font-iconts, except before the topiclist with the active/unread/new topics etc. I would like to change them back to images I can replace myself. I already replaced it on the indexpage with 'unread' and 'all read' category. But I can't seem to find out how to get it working wit the icons for new posts/hot thread/locked/contain posts by you etcetera. 

Do I have to change something in the threadstatus.css or somewhere else?

I searched this forum, but could only find tutorials the other way around and other ones did not bring a solution: http://community.mybb.com/thread-156711.html

I hope you can help me. Thanx in advance!
i think you need to reverse everything thats done in that tutorial Toungue
You should edit forumdisplay_thread template and/or threadstatus.css.

If you want to use separate images, make the template use <img> with a proper src instead of the Font Awesome <i>.
If you want to use sprite image, make the template use a <span> with a proper class and revert threadstatus.css. You can check the default theme for the code.
@Expat, I thought of that, but I want to use some of the other Awesome Fonts. I just want to replace the ones 'new post in this topic' etc. There are many more in the Vienna template ;-)

@Destroy, I'll take a look at both files, thanx!

@Destroy, I think I got it! I replaced the treadstatus.css with the default one. Now I have the images of the folder_sprite.png. With a little help of Photoshop, I'll be able to replace the image(s).
