Hello, I currently have tons and tons of icons, and I am not sure how to use this mod on Black Rain V.2 Custom Theme. I currently on have 1 mod installed called PortaMX, but Need assistance in how to use this CBI Mod...
I read the parse code thing, but Black Rain V.2 has none of those files, so then I checked my other themes, but they are the same, I am not sure how to use it now, so please someone help me out.  :'(
Thanks in Advanced;

Manual Installation of Mods

Also, try moving any images that are in the mod to the theme's /images directory.

Also, when a theme's template files don't exist, they fall back on the default templates. In other words, if your theme does not have a BoardIndex.template.php, it will fall back on the default BoardIndex.template.php so no manual editing is needed unless it fails on install.

Wow, Thanks, that means that all I have to edit is the language files. Thanks JBlaze, Ill test this out and tell you...

REDSEW

Umm, I checked the parse for the mod, and it came up to this: Modification.english and I only have Index.php and Settings.English.php, should I post it in the settings???

REDSEW

I added $txt['no_icon'] = 'No icon set'; and there seems to be no change in anything, Ill install the mod and test it and let you know...

JBlaze

Nope, all language strings are also taken from the default theme.

The only thing that is used in conjunction with the custom theme are the ones that come with the theme, including images. Anything else that is not included with the custom theme falls back on the default theme.

I tried every single method, .gif, .png, .jpg, and I got the folders right: /images/icons/1/ong.png
Im not sure whats wrong... Is it that the possibility is that I renamed my theme???

REDSEW

I changed the name back, but it still doesnt work...
I even put the images in every theme I used incase, but still get that big red X mark.
Im not sure what im doing wrong...

Cant the SMF team just setup something like what PHPbb does?
When you make a board, you can add the link to the image you want for that board icon to be, and if you leave it blank, the image would be the Theme's icon. How about that feature? I am currently lost so yeah... Best way to get noobs attention...

First: Please use the mods support topic, which can be found by clicking on the support and comments button on the mods page. People may have the same question as you and they go to that topic to find it. It makes it hard if answers are spread everywhere :(.

Second: Please link to the mod so we could help you faster. Sometimes there's several mods with the same name or function and we don't always know. For the record I assume you mean this mod: http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=511

The description says: This mod was packaged from some code found here on simplemachines.org What this mod does is give you the ability to change the default board icons to custom ones just by uploading a new .gif file named on_##.gif, on2_##.gif and off_##.gif to the images directory of the default theme.

The readme says:
Quote
Create icons folder in to your /Themes/default/.
In the icons folder create folder which name is the boards id,(meaning only the
number of the board) where you want custom board icon.
Then put on.gif, on2.gif and off.gif in that folder.

Structure:
forum/Themes/default/icons
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/on.gif
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/on2.gif
forum/Themes/default/icons/board_id/off.gif

(Where "board_id" is the id number of the board you want the icon to show up for. So for example for your first board on your forum it would look like this:

forum/Themes/default/icons/1/on.gif

)


If you're using a different theme, change the "default" folder for that themes folder :).

I know what to do, I tried the readme as I am using the latest, and it doesnt work... Ill try the description... But in the description it also says: But if you use the latest file, it only picks up .png files...

REDSEW

It still doesnt ring any bells... Tried what you posted... No answer... Just "X No Icon Set"

Are those images in all themes?

Not just /default/, but /black_rain/ or what ever as well?

Do you know what your board ID's are? Can you tell me the ID of the board this topic is in? SMF 2.x Support?
