Mod Available cbi (Custom Board Icons)

Original Post


Hi everybody

In yabbse we had discussions about different Icons for every board. Is in smf also something planned?
look here to see what i mean:

This is easily accomplished.  You can use the BoardIndex template to have a separate on.gif or off.gif for every $board['id'].  Where you want to look is after this comment:

// If the board is new, show a strong indicator.

Before each .gif, just add ', $board['id'], ' and then make onID.gif's for every board.

hey, sorry to be digging up older threads,

QuoteBefore each .gif, just add ', $board['id'], ' and then make onID.gif's for every board.

Ive been trying to do this, and due to my very limited knowledge of scripting I can't manage it. If someone could elaberate a bit more or post a sample bit of script as to point me in the right direction that would be great...

where do I add in the ', $board['id'], ' to

// 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" />';

  echo '</td>


!?

Thanks for the help!

Hi edi67!

yes that is what I am trying to achieve! Thanks to the help above though I'm just about there!

Just a matter of putting it live now...! me thinks maintenance mode might be required for a min!  ::)

Cypher7

ok thats done... working fine... thanks for the help!

I just can't figure out how to make Child Boards have different icons...?  Is it possible?  :-\

[Unknown]

Do the same thing, but in MessageIndex.template.php.

I'm sorry for digging up such an old thread but I need a bit of help with this.

I found where the code goes.....no problem there. But how will it know which icon to use for which board? Do I need to name each .gif the board Id number? Do I still put the .gif in the images directory?

I'm so new to this stuff it is still very confusing to me. If someone could walk me through this step by step that would be a great help. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Just asking for them doesn't mean you can take them. Get a reply okaying it first. It's common sense, at least to me it is...
