want to change the new post icon from the smf theme to another picture, how do i do this?

[SiNaN]

Welcome mrbolsonator.

../Themes/your_theme/images/

on.gif => for unread board
on2.gif => for a read board, having an unread child board
off.gif => for unread board

Change them with the images you want.

i cant change the files to .gif, is there a script that i can change the name/location of the pictures to?

[SiNaN]

Of course. In

../Themes/your_theme/BoardIndex.template.php
../Themes/your_theme/MessageIndex.template.php
../Themes/your_theme/Help.template.php

files, you should search for those and replace the extention as you whish.

so it came up with an X and not my image, does the image have to be in .gif format to work?

[SiNaN]

No, if you make the edits correctly. May I have a link to your forum to check it?

Don't you mean off.gif => for read board ;)

mrbolsonator

[SiNaN]

Can you try a hard refresh? (ctrl+f5) It works perfect for me.

It works good for me to. :P

mrbolsonator

on internet explorer it is not working, and on mozzilla the images are huge

now i have two problems...i need to shrink the pictures, and get them to show on explorer

mrbolsonator

third problem, so i singed out and ur right, it works...but it didnt on my page being the admin, is something else wrong?

Marcus Forsberg

Shrinking the pictures should be done by adding width="XXpx" height="XXpx" to the IMG tag, I think.

<img src="image.jpg" width="25px" height="25px">

I may be wrong as I haven't had a closer look at the actuall code affecting all this.
Maybe I should just let [SiNaN] handle this :D

mrbolsonator

ok so one problem delt with, the pics work and i shrunk them...now for my admin page why cant i see them? does anyone know

[SiNaN]

You should resize the image with a picture editor if you want it to look better rather than just using HTML to resize them.

What do you mean by admin page?
