Brian : I'm using the non-plugin version as my staff and I are attempting to reduce the number of plugins that we have if we can go the code route. With that being said, I was wondering if it was possible to alter the code a bit to make it so the legend shows what the hot topic is (like it did before it was removed, if my memory serves.)

Thanks so much!

There's no need to alter the code. You can modify the HTML of the legend itself in Themes > Layout Templates > Board.

You're right! Makes sense, Brian

So for the default theme, I've added the custom images to the theme's images and I've added the code for thread_hot and thread_sticky in the forum wrapper, but it's not working.

You need to replace all 6 if you're going to use that code. It's completely overwriting the pbp.hot_topics.images object.

I'm also no longer seeing the code anywhere in your global header.

Please bear with me, Brian . I'm a bit confused.


From what I'm now understanding, I simply put the code in the global header and then insert the Forum Wrapper code and only the TWO custom images in the image section of the theme and that will do it?

The Forum Wrapper code requires you to specify all 6 images. Otherwise the code will either break completely (at worst) or your images will be changed to broken links for those that you didn't specify.

Ok, Brian , the Global Header code is inserted; the ENTIRE code is in the Forum Wrapper; the two icons I want to change are in the Custom Images in the default theme, but it's showing PB's icons on the default theme.

I think I see the problem.

I've updated the code in the first post. Give the new iteration of both a try.

Sorry, Brian , that didn't do it.

As you saw, the first code put the default icons on the theme.

This version, with both the new Forum Wrapper code and new Global Header code, it doesn't show any of the icons now. It's reverted to the way it looked without the code in place. The first two threads on that board are hot and sticky. Now, they're back to just sticky.

Okay, now it should be working. I made a typo.

No problem, Brian .

You deal with so many diverse issues, I don't know how you keep track.

Which needs to be changed? The Forum Wrapper or Global Header?

Profile notifications help.

None of them need to be changed. I made the most recent correction for you.

You did, you did. Thank you so much!!!!!

I'm so happy to see those custom icons back.

Good job, as always, Brian .

Now, I have a daunting task ahead with all of my themes.

There's no need to alter the code. You can modify the HTML of the legend itself in Themes > Layout Templates > Board.

You wouldn't happen to have the code for the Hot Topics so I can put it back to the way it was originally, would you?

Thank you. I will look into it and report back!

I'm not sure what you mean. The purpose of the plugin is to do exactly that.

Sorry, I meant in the Legends. I put the code into the Global Headers, but it doesn't put the Hot Topic back into the Legends.

[Brian]

Correct, as that's not something that's included in the plugin. You'd have to modify the layout template and add those manually into the HTML of the legend as I specified previously.

Hi, Brian ~

Could you check out this board, please?

The Hot Locked icon isn't showing.

Thank you!
