Change Category Text/Title to Image

[TornadoGTS]

Like to request a plugin to ba able to replace the category title text with an image, here was the 4.5 code....


<script type="text/javascript">
<!--

// Category or title text to image

var tCat = document.getElementsByTagName("td");

function textToImage(text,image){
   for(t = 0; t < tCat.length; t ++){
       var re = new RegExp("<b>" + text.replace(/([\*\+\.\/]+)/, "\\$1") + "</b>","i");
       if(tCat.item(t).className.match(/^(cat|title)bg/i) && tCat.item(t).innerHTML.match(re)){
           tCat.item(t).innerHTML = tCat.item(t).innerHTML.replace(re, "<img src='" + image + "'>");
       }
   }
}

textToImage("category","image link");



//-->
</script>

I read that this might be a feature...

No problem

So, either I can't find it (a distinct possibility) or it isn't actually an option and would love a plug-in for this.

If I can't find it, can someone give me a boost and tell me where you did? Because individual category title images isn't anywhere I can find and is a big deal to my forum image.

Also, what that guy wanted to do isn't quite what that code is doing. His is just allowing there to be images in the category title, methinks, like an "img src" function. What I'm looking for is a complete replacement of the board name with a category image.

Example:
vampst.proboards.com/

This is an easy plugin for any coder who wants to try. If not, I'll do it.

Nice forum by the way sethron, it looks really cool.

I thank you. For both the fact that you know how to do it and the compliment.

It'll be a much less cool forum if I don't figure out a way to convert it. *rubs head*

I was able to put images in my category display name using url to image[/img].



The problem with doing that is that the category default gradient and spacing really messes stuff up... Hopefully a plugin can be made for this which re-sizes the forums appropriately and gets rid of all the weird margin and gradients behind the image causing the overlap.
