Nice hack m8

Terminatoronly1 · 05-19-2006, 07:16 PM

Thanks very much

snakeboy · 06-11-2006, 10:54 PM

The listing of this thread on the forum's main page seems to indicate version 3.5.4, but it clearly says it only works on 3.5.0 R C 1?

I tried installing it to 3.5.4 and the option doesn't appear to add the icon when creating (or editing and existing) forum. So I guess it doesn't work with 3.5.4. :(

Could someone please advise how to get this working with 3.5.4? It's just what I've been looking for.

celtic_babe · 06-16-2006, 01:05 PM

Im a bit confused, I dont know where to put $forum[forumhomeicon] in both templates. I want the image to appear as the statusicon instead of having the image that shows if there is a new post in the forum.

Any help?

waqar · 08-09-2006, 07:55 AM

i cant understand this hack (how to use it )can any one tell me

MONKEY_MAN · 08-09-2006, 08:58 AM

look in your templates you have to mod for this hack and where is says statusicon change it to $forum[forumhomeicon]

good2laugh · 08-15-2006, 11:14 PM

I see this says for vB 3.5.4, but wondered if anyone had installed it with Gold 3.6 or if there was a 3.6 version.

TIA
