You use this when you goto forum -> boards -> modify boards ->
Then when you either create or edit a board, you have 2 options for Color and Icons under board name.

I suppose. If you send me the required scripts that need edits I can make them compatible for you.

You need to install themes before applying any modifications other wise the mods will not be-able todo the required edits to the templates for the themes.

I've got a custom theme and i have succesfully added colour and an icon when it shows up in the "Manage boards and Categories" section in the ACP. However it doesn't show up in the forums. It's still the default.

I have added;

<a class="subject" href="', $board['href'], '" name="b', $board['id'], '"', !empty($board['color']) ? ' style="color: ' . $board['color'] . ';">' : '>', $board['name'];
if (!empty($board['icon']))
echo ' <img src="',  $board['icon'], '" style="width: 18px; height: 18px;" alt="" />';
echo '</a>';


To the custom theme aswell. Any advice please?

Same problem with me. Except I didn't put that code in -- or any code. I have a custom theme, and the color/icon only shows in the Admin Panel, not the actual forums. Help?

I'm using Zone99 theme and it doesn't work with me any help please?

As the author of this mod hasn't been here in 7 months it's unlikely you'll get much help unless someone wants to look through it to see how it works. :(
