Title: How to change topic post icons to Font-awesome?
Post by: Wellwisher on February 12, 2016, 04:47:33 PM
Hello SMF developers and community members,

How do I change topic post icons to Font-awesome? These are the icons I mean:

I have a whole bunch of them in the folder named "Topics" (pictured below) I just wish to change a few e.g: hot-topics, normal-posts, polls, sticky-posts icons etc.

I searched the whole SMF folder, tired changing a few icons in MessageIndex.template.php but the icons still remain the same. I know I have to edit the Display.template.php but that means I can only set it to one icon which is not what I want.  ::)

As always devs and smf community, any help or guidance will be much appreciated.

These are the topic icons I wish to change:

My theme icons in the topic folder:

It require a mass of changes throughout SMF, more than anyone wants to deal with.

I did this on my forum not too long ago. Took 1 hour of core changes, well worth it. I believe the main places are message, display, and recent templates, alongside source changes.

What's your forum, can I take a look?
