Group Icon Image Please consider

[Woodsman]

This theme design issue has been plaguing me for some time now and it is turning into an obsession.

In 3.x We could call up a team icon per skin theme as so.

How do I go about creating a field in 4.0.x?

As of this moment it can't be done.

Yes I can add this to the phtml template as so.

html - forums - front - topics - postContainer.phtml
Add after
<li class='ipsResponsive_hidePhone'><img src='{file="$comment->author()->group['g_icon']" extension="core_Theme"}' alt='' class='cAuthorGroupIcon'></li>
{{endif}}
at or near line 39.

<li class='{expression="\IPS\Member\Group::load( $comment->author()->member_group_id )" raw="true"}'></li>

But I have discovered that this is an impractical method and not the way to go for production themes.

I have tried this also as a profile field as

background-image: url( {resource="team_icons/admin.png" app="core" location="custom"} );

But for every attempt I get an error that it is invalid.

So please bring this back....

For this I promise not to pick on Lindy's love for Chevy's....

OK that may be stretching it a bit on keeping that one. But I did type it without laughing.............................................................(much)

Thanks-
