Great TUT I am slightly screwed Sad I have a custom theme, so I am missing some of the code which is needed to change, e.g "<td class="tcat" colspan="2"><span class="smalltext"><strong {$lang->forumbit_forum}</strong></span></td>" mine is different to this.

Can you please paste your template codes here ? So I could find what needs to be edited ?

Yeah sure bud, that would be great. Perhaps you can let me know where I am going wrong.

Hi I have managed to locate the code, it was correct but after saving them the Ficions are not there, below are the different codes so you can see that I have followed them correctly.

Step 1
Quote:<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<thead>
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="6">
<div class="expcolimage"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$expcolimage}" id="cat_{$forum['fid']}_img" class="expander" alt="{$expaltext}" title="{$expaltext}" /></div>
<div><strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong><br /><div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}</div></div>
</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody style="{$expdisplay}" id="cat_{$forum['fid']}_e">
<tr>
<td class="tcat" colspan="3"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_forum}</strong></span></td>
<td class="tcat" width="85" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_threads}</strong></span></td>
<td class="tcat" width="85" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_posts}</strong></span></td>
<td class="tcat" width="200" align="center"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_lastpost}</strong></span></td>
</tr>
{$sub_forums}
</tbody>
</table>
<br />


Step 2
Quote:<tr>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="uploads/ficons/{$forum['ficon']}" alt="{$forum['name']}" /></td><td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" /></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top">
<strong><a href="{$forum_url}">{$forum['name']}</a></strong>{$forum_viewers_text}<div class="smalltext">{$forum['description']}{$modlist}{$subforums}</div>
</td><td&nbsp;class="{$bgcolor}"&nbsp;align="center"&nbsp;valign="top"&nbsp;width="1"><img&nbsp;src="images/ficons/{$forum['fid']}.png"&nbsp;alt=""&nbsp;title=""&nbsp;class=""&nbsp;id=""&nbsp;/></td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">{$threads}{$unapproved['unapproved_threads']}</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap">{$posts}{$unapproved['unapproved_posts']}</td>
<td class="{$bgcolor}" valign="top" align="right" style="white-space: nowrap">{$lastpost}</td>
</tr>



Step 3 and 4
Quote:<table border="0" cellspacing="{$theme['borderwidth']}" cellpadding="{$theme['tablespace']}" class="tborder">
<tr>
<td class="thead" colspan="6" align="center"><strong>{$lang->sub_forums_in}</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tcat" width="2%">&nbsp;</td><td class="tcat" width="2%">&nbsp;</td> <td class="tcat" width="2%">&nbsp;</td><td&nbsp;class="tcat"&nbsp;width="2%">&nbsp;</td>
<td class="tcat" width="59%"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_forum}</strong></span></td>
<td class="tcat" width="7%" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_threads}</strong></span></td>
<td class="tcat" width="7%" align="center" style="white-space: nowrap"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_posts}</strong></span></td>
<td class="tcat" width="15%" align="center"><span class="smalltext"><strong>{$lang->forumbit_lastpost}</strong></span></td>
</tr>
{$forums}
</table>
<br />


I have then created a folder and called it ficons, and also located the section here which is 83
[Image: section.png]

I have added the image into the folder, which I have our into images, but when I check the Forum the image is not on there.

How to exclude Sub Forums?
Thanks!

RE: Custom Forum Icons ~ A Unique icon for Each Forum - lifesteal0r - 2011-06-15

Did you take that from labrocca's plugin?

RE: Custom Forum Icons ~ A Unique icon for Each Forum - nadlerz - 2011-06-16

I don't use any plugin for my custom icon, i just manually embed them
using this tutorial.
Is there any way to exclude sub forum?

In ACP > Templates > Your theme's templates > Forumbit templates > forumbit_depth1_cat >

I can find
<td class="thead" colspan="5">
instead this my theme has
<td class="thead" colspan="3">

And in ACP > Templates > Your theme's templates > Forumbit templates > forumbit_depth2_forum
I cant find this
<td class="{$bgcolor}" align="center" valign="top" width="1"><img src="{$theme['imgdir']}/{$lightbulb['folder']}.gif" alt="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" title="{$lightbulb['altonoff']}" class="ajax_mark_read" id="mark_read_{$forum['fid']}" /></td>
