Custom Board Icons

[smurfyforum]

I am working on updating forum to SMF 2.0 RC3 but there is one hitch holding me back now, I cannot do custom board icons in the forum. I have tried the MOD but it cannot be installed - EVERYTHING about it fails!!( on a fresh install without any MODS or hacking)

I had found a while back a hack you could do to the baord.index.template to do this, but with all the new changes I cannot get the code to work with the new board.index.template correctly without losing some look or features. Could someone do this?

Here is the section from my "old" board.index.template from 1.1.11

/* Each board in each category's boards has:
new (is it new?), id, name, description, moderators (see below), link_moderators (just a list.),
children (see below.), link_children (easier to use.), children_new (are they new?),
topics (# of), posts (# of), link, href, and last_post. (see below.) */

{
echo '
