Installation Instructions

Step 1: Upload the .xml file to the Product Manager
Step 2: Read the install.txt file for template edit instructions
Step 3: Click INSTALL (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=102025):D

Requested by: nonamer69

What does this Plugin do?

Basically, this will allow you to have Custom Forum Status Icons for each forum - To have one image constantly displayed simply edit the options for each image replacement to the same image :devious:

Are there any screenshots?

See post below :)

Version History:

1.0.0: First release

Forums arranged in columns on forumhome (by Xenon):
See here (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=851935&postcount=96) for the function and template change you need to make (Thanks to Danny.vBT for this)
Please Note: This modification is only required if you wish to use Custom Status Icons in conjunction with Xenon's hack...

Hope it does what you're looking for - I tested it thoroughly but it's possible a bug or two skipped through the cracks :)

By the way - The Forum Manager screenshot shows images named "custom_new.gif" etc - You can name it whatever you like, I just named it "custom_new.gif" for my own ease :)

For example, "bananahammock.gif" is equally valid an image name :D

very nice. i, like Danny, used template conditionals to make this happen. installed.

i modified the template code slightly so i could apply different images based on a chosen style. i have multiple styles that use the same image...but different background colors based on the colors of the style chosen.

this is what i did:

changed


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



to


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


then created a directory in "images/statusicon" called "forum" for each statusicon directory i specified in the style options (under image paths) and placed my images there. then, for each forum, in the options, i just specified the file name.

i hope you dont mind me posting this in this thread.

Chris M
02 Dec 2005, 18:22
can a picture be changed if no new posts were made since the last visit?

This plugin allows you the ability to assign images for each status of a forum - No new posts since your last visit would be another image you assign to the forum in the "No New Posts" replacement image setting :)

I recommend finding an image you like for the "New" image, then altering it with something like photoshop, and change the opacity to maybe 50 or 60%, as a "No New Posts" image :)

A question. This icons, will be applied even if the forum is a subforum ? (and i mean the icons will be showed in the lvl 2 view)

I also used conditionals, but its seems no more:D

Thnx Paul:)

PS

I found a major flaw in the whole system that made me uninstall it just for now. The flaw is:

If you use different styles in your forum, and therefore u need to have different icons to them, so they can "apply" better on the skin, this hack cant applied as it uses only one of them. Can we fix this, so we can "choose" in what style each one will work?
(with my conditionals i can, but its a pain on the ass to always change the codes so this hack will come very handy:))
Hope u can add a feature like this paul, thnx for any possible reply :)

This works absolutely fine with other forums as you can see in the picture I have added but I have the same exact picture pointed at the " West Coast " forum icon also but it doesnt show up. Pretty wierd to since those are not sub forums, just a different layout basically

Thx Chris but its still a no go. Its wierd because if i make the forum column 1 to where it looks like a regular forum, then everything works fine but as soon as I change the forum column to 3 then it wont show. I have edited the forumhome_forumbit_columncell, forumhome_forumbit_level2_post, forumhome_forumbit_level1_post & I even edited the plug in. I am completely out of ways to try to get this to work. Once i'm done with this then I should be good to go. Ive went thru all of those files that I mentioned above & changed

How can I do this?

Nevermind I got it working. If your icons are blank, try using no slash in the image path i.e.
images/icons/whatever.gif
instead of
/images/icons/whatever.gif

This add-on works graet.

I am using it with xenon's columns and it solved alot of my problems.

Not also if you don't want to have an image icon you can just enable custom status icons "yes" and not put any images in.

Example at http://www.ftalife.com

I'm also on 3.5.4 working great with or without pic. Fully tested.

There's some flaws with this, even though it works. The icon wont change to unread or the other way around unless you CLICK ON THE CATEGORY name. Even if you click on a thread inside the cateogry (from the main page), it will stay the same icon (as unread).

Also this is have an affect with the sub forums too.

Simon Moon
29 Aug 2007, 21:19
Make sure when using this in 3.6.8 or later to not blindly copy the template edits. The templates have a bit more in them in the 3.6.8 than the installation shows. Essentially, just search for


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


and replace it with


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

That does the trick already and leaves the rest untouched in the templates. Mainly the id of the forum is removed with just copy pasting it, which can be very tricky if you have some style that depends on this.

Thank you for highlighting this...

I haven't had a chance to port any of my modifications to the latest version as I haven't even had the time to renew my licences yet ;)

I plan to do this after I get back from Holiday in October, so expect a new update confirmed to work on whatever the latest version is in approximately mid-October time :)

I use this mod in my forum for quite a long time and like it very much :) Actually, I modified it to show other custom infos for every forum as well.

http://www.fehler-im-film.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=389

You can see the images, but also "IMDB", "OFDB" and "Kino.de" custom links.

I added a field "Kinostart" (theatrical release) which has the date. But the format is english. I tried to get the german format without any success.

What I tried so far is



Code:

Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

There doesn't seem there is much action in this forum but I'll try in anycase..

When you have more than one style active is there a way of making each style having it's own forum icons?

If you're using this particular hack, I would suggest that you just edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template & the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template, for each of the styles you want the modification to work on.

My icons ain't changing. I installed the xml. I created a customicons directory and placed it at forum root. I edited the following:

I had this same issue there.
'Search this mod' is a useful function; try searching for 'xenon'.

You are the best! Finally. Question though.

How do you get the information to show up next to the icon? Mine just shows the link to the forum, ie. music forum. I'd like to have the latest thread info like this.

In the template Forumhome templates >> forumhome_forumbit_columncell

FIND
<if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><div class="smallfont">$forum[description]</div></if>

ADD AFTER
$forum[lastpostinfo]

This will just show it the way it normally shows up on the regular index.

To play around with the positioning of the text, find the last poster information in the template forumhome_lastpostby

It works, but it creates the status icon next to the last post info. Basically you have your "forum" icon, then below it, the thread icon with the post info.

Put it in its own div like this
<div>$forum[lastpostinfo]</div>

And then work with aligning the divs together.

You are a saint, I can't begin to tell you how long I've been trying to get this worked out. Worked like a charm. Cheers.

There is no need to use mod for this feature in vBulletin 3.7 because the feature comes as standard with the software. Please see this thread:

I had this hack along with forum home in columns hack working fine till I upgraded from vb 3.71 to vb 3.72. Now I get red X's and when I right click on the X it shows me this .../statusicons/forum_new.gi%3C/a%3Ef not showing the right gif. Anyone know what might be causing this?

As you notice i have an extra variable in my code - imageprefix - if i remove this section and replace it with yours will i have problems with my board ?

you will have problems if you have any image prefixes set up on your forums, but as you are wanting to use this mod my guess is you don't have prefixes set up, so this will not effect the forum, i had the same code, as you but just replaced it, apparently that extra variable is vbulletin built in way of showing icons, but i couldn't get it to work and find this mod much easier by far :-)

Installed and working perfectly on 3.8.2 - thanks for the mod! Nominated!

But OHHHHH... there is no need for this mod- it's built in to vBulletin now... No, screw that. The vB default way is WAY too complicated to set up. This mod is, by far, easier.

When you click on the icon on the forum nothing happens.. You can't mark that forum read and it's really ticking my users off.. Any way to fix it? And I searched but couldn't find, is there a newer version that is compatible with 3.8.2?

And another thing :)

I activated the option to show the forum infos on the forumdisplay with no subs also

http://www.fehler-im-film.de/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=53
(Herr der Ringe - Die Gefährten 2001; R: Peter Jackson; Mit: Noel Appleby, Sean Astin, Sala Baker, u.v.a. in this case).

I want to show the custom icon there as well but didnt get it to work. How can I do that?

I am still looking for a solution, how to fetch "$forum[customicon]" on another page to display the data. Any ideas?

Hi guys,
I can't understand why this plug-in is not working to me.

I have Vbulletin 3.8.4

The code in the file "forumhome_forumbit_level1_post" is:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].jpg" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

instead for the file "forumhome_forumbit_level2_post" the code is:

<td class="alt2"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/$forum[imageprefix]forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>.

I've installed the plug-in as explained in the instructions and i've replaced the code with the new one.

Does anyone knows why the plug-in is still not working?

Anyone get this working for VB4? I desperately need it working! It worked fine for me under VB 3.8.4. I just upgraded to vb4 and it doesn't work. The template edits are very different.

I have the same code in 3.8.5 and this is what I did which worked:


Step 1: Upload the Plugin via the Product Manager!


Step 2: Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level1_post template

Find:
-----

<td class="alt1" width="30" style="border-right-width: 0;"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>

Replace with:
-------------

<td><img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" /></td>


Step 3: Edit the forumhome_forumbit_level2_post template

Find:
-----

<td class="alt2" width="30"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif" alt="" border="0" id="forum_statusicon_$forum[forumid]" /></td>


Replace with:
-------------

<td class="alt2"><img src="<if condition="$show['customstatusicon']">$forum[customicon]<else />$stylevar[imgdir_statusicon]/forum_$forum[statusicon].gif</if>" alt="" border="0" /></td>
