IMHO, using a simple dash between them would work out fine... on12.gif, , on12-2.gif.

True, and very easy to do.

// This board doesn't have new posts, but its children do.
   elseif ($board['children_new'])
   echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/on', $board['id'], '-2.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';

ehm.. i have the board id's on my forums/boards but what if i have more than one subboard so i case

i have named a board called windows

which has sub-boards

-windows 95
-windows 98
-windows ME
-Windows XP
--windows XP Home
--Windows XP Pro
-Windows NT
--Windows NT WKS
--Windows NT SRV
-Windows 2000
--Windows 2000 Pro
--Windows 2000 Server
--Windows 2000 Advanced Server

How it's set up then
for the main board i got now this

board id

on_xx.gif
off_xx.gif

for the first sub board on2_xx.gif

!?

how should i declare that in order to work nicely

so when one post is posted in win95 so the board logo should give me a windows logo within a text as 95 is on the main board but actually it's a sub-board posting...
and so on for each sub board

so look at this URL

I'm afraid you don't know, in that template, which child board it is.

i read all the discussion here, but i think there are something new in 1.1 beta 3 as i couldnt make it.
anyone to do this for 1.1 beta 3 ?

Kindred · « **Reply #65 on:** September 06, 2005, 03:14:55 PM »

Code: [Select]

it works fine in SMF 1.1 beta 3 and beta 4...

this code is in BoardIndex.template.php
[code]
				// If the board is new, show a strong indicator.
				if ($board['new'])
					echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/on.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
				// This board doesn't have new posts, but its children do.
				elseif ($board['children_new'])
					echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/on2.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
				// No new posts at all!  The agony!!
				else
					echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/off.gif" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" border="0" />';

replace it with this code:
            // If the board is new, show a strong indicator.
            if ($board['new'])
               echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/on_' . $board['id'] . '.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
            // This board doesn't have new posts, but its children do.
            elseif ($board['children_new'])
               echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/on2_' . $board['id'] . '.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
            // No new posts at all! The agony!!
            else
               echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/off_' . $board['id'] . '.gif" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" border="0" />';
[/code]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, a question for [unknown] or other power php coders...

Is there a way to determine if a file exists... and if not, default to the un-numbered icons?

[Unknown] · « **Reply #66 on:** September 06, 2005, 03:34:02 PM »

Yeah, using file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/...gif').

-[Unknown]

Kindred · « **Reply #67 on:** September 06, 2005, 03:42:08 PM »

so, in theory... this should work... right?

(just a sanity check...)

Code: [Select]

// individual board icons!
	if (file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/on_' . $board['id'] . '.gif'))
			$board_new_img=$settings['images_url'], '/on_' . $board['id'] . '.gif';
	if (file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/on2_' . $board['id'] . '.gif'))
			$childboard_new_img=$settings['images_url'], '/on2_' . $board['id'] . '.gif';
	if (file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/off_' . $board['id'] . '.gif'))
			$board_nonew_img=$settings['images_url'], '/off_' . $board['id'] . '.gif';

				// If the board is new, show a strong indicator.
				if ($board['new'])
					echo '<img src="',$board_new_img,'" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
				// This board doesn't have new posts, but its children do.
				elseif ($board['children_new'])
					echo '<img src="',$childboard_new_img,'" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
				// No new posts at all!  The agony!!
				else
					echo '<img src="',$board_nonew_img,'" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" border="0" />';

[Unknown] · « **Reply #68 on:** September 06, 2005, 03:43:21 PM »

The theory is right, but that code won't work, because you don't assign $board_new_img except when the file does exist (so it will be undefined/whatever it was before otherwise.)

Ok

This is what I have

Code: [Select]

 // If the board is new, show a strong indicator.
                                if ($board['new'])
                                        echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/edu/on', $board['id'], '.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
                                // This board doesn't have new posts, but its children do.
                                elseif ($board['children_new'])
                                        echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/edu/on2', $board['id'], '.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
                                // No new posts at all!  The agony!!
                                else
                                        echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/edu/off', $board['id'], '.gif" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" border="0" />';

                                echo '</td>

It works great, however, I only need to have this on 5 boards under category 'colleges & universities' and I have 30 other boards. How do I avoid creating duplicate images for the other boards that require no special image icon?

Actually, you've got a bug in there as you're concatenating the code with a , instead of a .

Here's the entire block, with that fixed.

Code: [Select]

				// Individual board icons. If a custom image exists, use it. Otherwise use the default image.
					if (file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/on_' . $board['id'] . '.gif'))
						$board_new_img=$settings['images_url']. '/on_' . $board['id'] . '.gif';
					else
						$board_new_img=$settings['images_url']. '/on.gif';

					if (file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/on2_' . $board['id'] . '.gif'))
						$childboard_new_img=$settings['images_url']. '/on2_' . $board['id'] . '.gif';
					else
						$childboard_new_img=$settings['images_url']. '/on2.gif';

					if (file_exists($settings['theme_dir'] . '/images/off_' . $board['id'] . '.gif'))
						$board_nonew_img=$settings['images_url']. '/off_' . $board['id'] . '.gif';
					else
						$board_nonew_img=$settings['images_url']. '/off.gif';


               // If the board is new, show a strong indicator.
                	if ($board['new'])
						echo '<img src="', $board_new_img,'" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';

               		// This board doesn't have new posts, but its children do.
                	elseif ($board['children_new'])
						echo '<img src="', $childboard_new_img,'" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
                    // No new posts at all!  The agony!!
                    else
						echo '<img src="', $board_nonew_img,'" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" border="0" />';

In your opinion what happens if a comma used instead of a dot ?
