Replacing folder icons?

[God Less America]

Hello everyone. I would like to know the method for replacing the folder icons in each forum...

I have all the logo icons ready but would like to exchange them from the folder icons shown above.

Thanks in advance.

Hey God Less America,

those can be changed through the themes images panel: admin > themes > theme manager -- once you're on that page, there should be a list of themes you have on your forum. hover over the one you want to add your custom icons on, and an "images" button should appear (It'll be under the "images" heading). click that and it will take you to a page that shows all the default images on the theme. The folder icons you have indicated are underneath forum icons, in the fourth row. You can either upload or link the custom icons you want to use.

All sounds complicated @tis ✻ bry but that's how things seem at the start - you soon get the hang of it!

I will try this out soon and hopefully get my new board rolling, thank you!

It's actually pretty simple--I just tend to be a little long-winded sometimes, oops

Let me know if you have any problems!

Okay well I have found forum icons but I am none the wiser because I want to replace each of the above; Fantasy / EPL Discussion then The Championship / League One / League Two / National League with their respective logos - right now there is an icon of a folder in each section, see? Where would I do this please?

[God Less America]

I think feasibly it may be done under board and structure?

[God Less America]

Or maybe not! Okay, let's say look at the home page of Proboards and down the left hand side you can see all folder icons (some have NEW on them) - I want to know how to place an image where the folder icon is - hopefully that will make things easier to comprehend?

I've given this some thought since I last replied, and unfortunately I do not know how to set the board icon individually-- I'm guessing that it will have something to do with the layout templates/board descriptions, or a plugin, but I might be mistaken. If I may, let me tag some members/administrators who might be able to help.

God Less America, sounds like you want to use this plugin: Different On/Off Icons for Different Boards

Thanks, I will wait for instructions. I do know that it can be done but can't think of where exactly - I had a look in Layout Templates - obviously I need to access a particular area some place - I don't think it's anything to do with a plug in though.

You can place an image in board descriptions although I did try that and it didn't pan out - it's the area where the folder icons sit that I need to target and replace with my own images.

tis ✻ bry,

There is a plugin called Different On/Off Icons for Different Boards that, I believe, does this.

HA! Ninja'd by Scott!

[God Less America]

Shows how much I know - Scott and MSG have just suggested a plug-in!

[God Less America]

I'm not sure this is the right tool OR, I simply do not understand how to work it.

Without me asking it to do anything, a football smiley has appeared between the words ENGLISH and LEAGUE - here...

epl-fantasy-football.boards.net/

and I can select the boards that I want the image replacements at but haven't a clue as to how to insert the images for each?

[God Less America]

Okay I figured why the image appeared - I have a smiley called football just added so it appeared there, I just rename the smiley and it will go.

God Less America, you still stuck or were you able to get it sorted?
