With this modification you can set icon for every or only selected forums.

Features:

• set allowed extensions,
• set maximum file size,
• set maximum dimensions for icons,
• enable/disable icon per forum,
• tool to convert old settings from old version

I am liking this modification, but is there somewhere I can get more .gif images or is it possible to change/edit the modification to allow .png's rather than .gif's and the size allowed?

[+DawPi 1,351]

Bry5012: yes, you can add more images. Just upload them into FTP to folder with icons. It's quite simply.

In the new version of this mod ( which should be in the next few weeks ) this mod will be completely rewritten, though.

I seem to be having issues with this working and then not working...I have tried .png files to use and all I get is a blank box with the text "image" in it

[+DawPi 1,351]

Of course you should also change in the code.. Please be patient. In the new version this will be more advanced and more easy to set.

[+Bry5012 11]

ok, thank you...I hopefully will be able to use the new one easier...I appreciate your prompt replies...thank you!

version 1.0.1

seems to have a subfolder issue....I made my "off" images faded out...yet when viewing subforums, the icons from this mod still shows the regular image and not the "off" image..and a mouse over still produces "Mark forum as read?" when the forum has been read..using default icon does produce the correct image and mouseover

I can confirm this behaviour.

BUG (possible), with altest Forum Icons 1.0.1 & 3.0.5 IPB

Even after the forum is read, still the original image shown, rather than the _off image. Hopefully will be fixed soon with the new update.

DawPi: Any updates on the progress for the next version?

Thanks

I also have a question/request.

Attaching custom images to forum topics is great. But, is it possible to extend this to Categories, and possibly to IP Downloads categories as well?

Thanks

Any updates on this DawPi?

can anyone help.. I installed the form icons and changed all the settings,but still only get default

[+DawPi 1,351]

Well, i must write it again: this mod works good, hovewer has one issue with ajax function, but icons are okay.. Please re-read instruction carefully again and check all edits.

Any news on the latest version? With this mod do you have to change every forum icon? It would be nice to only have a few select forums that have custom forum icons, but still have others left default?

I can't understand why you need a mod to do this. I just delete the forum icons in the skin folder and upload my own.

Any updates on this DawPi? I remember something about that the mod will now be an app, not requiring any edits.

Would appreciate an update.

Thanks

[+DawPi 1,351]

To assign more different icons to different topics (in your case, you are using the same icon for all topics)

[+DawPi 1,351]

I'm working on new version.

For now i have forums list with 'blank' icon:


I'm open for new suggestions, ideas etc. :)

Just reporting one bug. Sorry if it's report before!

When their is no new topic in the category/forum it shows forums default icon. So basically any icon with xx_off.gif is not working. If their is new post in that category/forum xx.gif works perfectly well.

Thanks Dawpi. Nice mod. :)

Any timetable as to when this issue can be fixed? I'd love to download it but I wanna make sure it's ok before I do..

[+AlexJ 415]

Is their anyway I can use png images rather then gif? What things I need to change to use png images?
