Run this query

ALTER TABLE forum ADD (
forumhomeicon VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL DEFAULT ''
)

Open admincp/forum.php

Find:

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

Under Add:

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

Still in admincp/forum.php

Find:

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

Under Add:

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

Add this phrase:

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

Add $forum[forumhomeicon] in any of your forumhome templates were you want your icons to appear:

Note:
In you admincp you must define it as <img> tags. See attachment.

Done!

Don't forget to click install! ;)

Hello all !
I am not a really good php coder , so i don´t know much about editing ..
Here my problem : I added all like u sayd (sql query and file change in admincp/forum.php), now i want that the icon displays on forumhome , on the index of my forum , but i don´t know where to add the $[forumhomeicon] tag !

I attached my forumhome_level1_nopost (i hope it´s the right template to edit)

I only felt like installing it on forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost, the main forum home page.

I also nicked some of this site's icons

<looks guilty>

I can credit you guys somewhere if you'd like!

But this hack I loved so much, but most members are apathetic, and a small amount pushed to get them removed! I ended up having to make these icons optional via use of alternative child skin sets.

Ok here is the SQL-Query you need to run:

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

Replace YOUR-PREFIX with the table prefix chosen in your config.php . If you don't use a prefix del YOUR-PREFIX

Wow, this is an inactive thread now...

Anyhow, I used your forumhomeicon hack a while back now, I thought I'd come back for some help with some extras.

Which code do I replace to make custom icons for the link icon?

This is my forum currently with its lots of links:

http://www.wordforge.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14

I want to customise the

icons if possible.

Any ideas? Thanks a bunch
