I guess this si the same as this post why take the risk of running queries at the database
Nice hack anyway
Logikos
12 Oct 2004, 12:04
This hack does not run queries at the database to grab the icon. I've installed a clean default vBulletin version 3.0.3 on my localhost, and there are 9 queries executed when going to the forumhome.
After installing my hack there are still only 9 queries executed when showing the forumhome, and you can have 100 forums with 100 icons, and no addtional queries are executed. The diffrence between that one and my, besides the fact that his is a template mod, mine makes it much more more orginized, and easy to get to.
But we're in a world of choice.... ^^
I am stuck halfway thru the hack instructions. I don't know where to add the last instruction part- I am a newbie:
Add $forum[forumhomeicon] in your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
to display on all your forums, and sub forums.
=======================================================
Logikos
13 Oct 2004, 03:03
The $forum[forumhomeicon] will call the image being used.
$forum[forumhomeicon] = <img></img>
So you would place $forum[forumhomeicon] in those 2 templates to show the icon.

I'd like to use this but I would want some limitations.
I want my users to either use this, or use a text signature.
I do not want them to be able to use the IMG tags to retrieve their signature from else where. I am tired of the HUGE sig images. With it done this way, I can control the image size.

How ?
And many thanks, great hack !
If you want a spacer between your Text and the Forum Icon, you need to add a little HTML right after the code <img scr="http://www.yoursite.com/forums/images/homeicon/intros.gif" align="left"> in the Category Icon by this : <img src="spacer.gif" width="7" height="60" align="left">
Notice : try to reduce the icon image path length, something like <img src="images/homeicon/intros.gif" align="left"><img src="spacer.gif" width="7" height="60" align="left">, so it will be able to fit in the Category Icon Field , adjust the height of the spacer with the length of your forum description so all the text will be seperated with the icon. You don't need the spacer image .
Good luck

Naturally, change the table width (shown as 20 above) to the width you want. Note that if you do not have a category icon, this will put a blank space in front of each category. I think i tlooks better than having categories shifting back and forth, but that is just me. Hope this helps!

A quick question, I installed you hack, and clicked install, I got it working and everything. When I downloaded it I thought it did something else, it doesn't but I find this as useful. The question that I had is could you tell me how to change it so that I could use this as the forum new thread or no new thread icon? So it shows up on the very left? I would find this very useful and think it could be change easily. The best thing I oculd think of is if I could do what you did plus what I would want to do. I think I would just have to add another phrase, and put the equivalent $forum[forumhomeicon] in the right area. You could do a couple different ones each forum and make multiple phrases, with the image you want ot show up.
What I was planning to do was to take the logo of the major sports leagues, When their is a new post I would make them regular, when no new posts, they would look the same, but faded.
Thanks alot

ok issue. everytime i try to run the querry i get this:
Error
SQL query:
ALTER TABLE forum ADD (
forumhomeicon VARCHAR( 200 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
)
MySQL said:
#1146 - Table 'aex4.forum' doesn't exist
do i have to change the forum part to vb3_forum?
nevermind i answered my own question. lol the answer is yes. so i guess anyone installing this that has a prefix for their forum in the db needs to tye that in into the query.
for example i use vb3_ as a prefix so to make this query work i had to run
ALTER TABLE vb3_forum ADD (
forumhomeicon VARCHAR( 200 ) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
)

A quick question, I installed you hack, and clicked install, I got it working and everything. When I downloaded it I thought it did something else, it doesn't but I find this as useful. The question that I had is could you tell me how to change it so that I could use this as the forum new thread or no new thread icon? So it shows up on the very left? I would find this very useful and think it could be change easily. The best thing I oculd think of is if I could do what you did plus what I would want to do. I think I would just have to add another phrase, and put the equivalent $forum[forumhomeicon] in the right area. You could do a couple different ones each forum and make multiple phrases, with the image you want ot show up.
What I was planning to do was to take the logo of the major sports leagues, When their is a new post I would make them regular, when no new posts, they would look the same, but faded.
Thanks alot
I'd also like a way to be able to do this with the forum new thread no new thread? anyone know how?

hey live wire, could you make it so the admincp only needs an image path, not a whole <img scr= business?
Or does that allow you more flexibility, if so, how have you used that to your advantage?

LOL, thanks...I didn't see that option when I went to edit the forum, which is why I asked. If I would have uploaded the forum.php file I edited, maybe I would have seen it sooner :)
Thank you! (I pressed install :D)

Umm, sorry to bother again...I uploaded forum.php and i added the <img> tag to all the forums, but when i go to the forum, they are not showing up. I am using vB 3.0.9...any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

Did you edit the template? Please read the directions carefully. $forum[forumhomeicon] holds the <img> info...

I figured it out!
When editing the forums in the FORUM MANAGER in my ADMINCP, this is what I had as the URL for the icon:
<img src="/images/pics/book.gif" border="0">
Then when I changed this to the following:
<img src="images/pics/book.gif" border="0">
And NOW it works! The thing to note here is the forward slash "/" I had added in front of the word "images" - this is what caused my images to show up as empty spaces in front of my forum titles.
Thanks!

If you able to post in this section then you should be able to download, otherwise create a new thread in the site feedback section.
