Fill in you Forumhome Custom Icon with

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

i noticed a typo in your <img> code. Maybe that is why. If your still having problems just let me know and maybe i can take a look on your board.

Nice Hack!

I've done what you said but it still doesn't show up

EDIT: Hey, maybe it's because I'm using Forums2 instead of Forums as my link. E.G, I use www.*.com/forums2.

Would that cause a problem?

Ken Iovino · 05-08-2004, 12:04 AM

Well if you uploaded to your images dirctory then all you would need to do is

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

his would work also:

You must first be a registered member to view any code.

In these templates were would I add:
$forum[forumhomeicon]

would be anywhere under
<tbody>

All depends on what you want, and were you want it. $forum[forumhomeicon] is just an <img> call in HTML.

O.K. I put $forum[forumhomeicon] in forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost and the icon is showing on my forum home page categories but I don't understand how the other templates will be changed, what should i expecto to see in: forumhome_forumbit_level1_post, forumhome_forumbit_level2_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost, I put the code in these three templates but I didn't notice a change on my forum, if I put the code in these templates where the icon should appear and I have another question, I will like the icon to appear also when you make click on the title of the category and the new page only show the title of the category and the sub-forums, could this be done? Thanks
