Different board Icons

[pinoy123]

I don't want to interupt this conversation at all. I just wanted to say that there has been a new version of cbi (custom board icons) uploaded to the mod site. it now handles child boards and is compatible with SMF 1.1 Final.

http://mods.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=511

it only customizes the default core theme. im using dilbermc theme. is it also compatible with my theme/?

If you do the edits manually to the 2 files or if the two files are not in your themes folder. Otherwise no.

Hi, is there any not hard way to make each forum with different icon BUT some of the forums to be with one icon with same name(not same icon uploaded 10 times with different names like on10 on11 and so on)?

[Kindred]

No....

[Sunerphey]

And.. a hard way ?

[Kindred]

not without a lot of coding...  including hardcoding (which is not recommended) or re-coding the entire structure to take informaiton from a table...

really, what you are talking about is completely re-designing the board icon interface and adding an admin section to set board icons...    go for it if you want...  but I think most people will just use the duplicate files with different names.

[Sunerphey]

ok, thanks.

hi am i tried this but it isn't working, am not using the default theme. this is what i did. i manually added the code from the mod in to BoardIndex.template.php and    MessageIndex.template.php and the uploaded a folder in the icon folder which contained the images. The folder name as the board id no. where did i go wrong??

my board link is ..../index.php/board,30.0.html so the board id is 30 right??

[Bigguy]

The icon folder must be made and named to "icons" then the board id, so:

Themes/{theme name}/icons/30/on.gif,off.gif,on2.gif

Hello,
I installed cbi 1.0  and my forum is using the amber template.
It seems that the icons are working only with the default template... What should I do to make it work with the amber template?

thanks a lot for your help

[Kindred]

read through the mod XML file and apply the modfications to your own theme files.

Also, you'll have to make the icon directories and files available in your theme directory as well.

hi ive set myself up a test forum & i trying to have different pictures for each section
so ive done the code from page 3 (i have not changed it in anyway) & setup the 3 pictures for each section which has worked fine......
but when i make new threads the picture does not change & when you hover over the picture it still says no new threads

code i used

Code Select Expand

// If the board is new, show a strong indicator.
   if ($board['new'])
   echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/on', $board['id'], '.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', $board['id'], '.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';
// No new posts at all!  The agony!!
   else
   echo '<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/off', $board['id'], '.gif" alt="', $txt[334], '" title="', $txt[334], '" border="0" />';

  echo '</td>

pictures are
off1.gif, on1.gif, on21.gif
off2.gif, on2.gif, on22.gif
off3.gif, on3.gif, on23.gif
etc, etc, etc

sorry it is working but not on my admin account but it works on all other accounts
so im happy

I got a problem with this, I was going to try to apply a different theme than default one. But i don't even have those files in my theme (BoardIndex.template.php, MessageIndex.template.php).

Can someone tell me what i can to do get this mod work?

I'm using 1.1.2, camo theme.

[Kindred]

if you don't have the boardindex or messageindex, then you need tro apply it to the default copies, or take a copy of the default, place it in your own theme directory and modify those...

echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/on.gif" alt="', $txt[333], '" title="', $txt[333], '" border="0" />';

echo '
<img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/green/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!!

If you run it through a package parser like this one here it will tell you all the edits and were to put them.
