Hi, Brian ~

Could you check out this board, please?

The Hot Locked icon isn't showing.

Thank you!

You don't seem to have a thread_locked image specified on that theme, so there's no image for it to display.

I see the code and link for thread_locked, Brian , in both the Global Header and the forum wrapper in the Valentine's Glow theme, Brian .

I'm referring to your custom theme images, where you only have two of the six necessary images specified.

That's because I'm only using two custom images, Brian . The two most used and seen.

The others I've kept as your ProBoards' default images ~ and the links to those PB images are in the Global Header.

You still need to specify the images in your theme. Otherwise $[theme.image.thread_locked.src] doesn't return anything in the Forum Wrapper code and the value of locked is a blank string in the final product:

locked: "",

The Forum Wrapper code overwrites all of the images from scratch as the plugin/code checks against it to completely replace the variable containing the images that were originally specified. The code does not check to see if no image exists. It outright replaces the variable that was in the code with the images that were specified in the Forum Wrapper template.

If you want to use the default image you'll need to replace its respective $[theme.image.thread_abcxyz.src] variable with the actual image URL similar to how it's listed in the original incarnation in the Global Header code.

EDIT: Got it ~ Finally! The Forum Wrapper isn't reading the links from the Global Header. So yes, adding a custom image to the theme for that icon is necessary. Otherwise, the images wouldn't be custom to that theme only if the wrapper was picking up the header links. The light bulb finally went on.

REsOLveD!

And btw, thank you again for providing this code to those of us who do customized icon images.

Your forum's theme seems to have removed the column that originally contained the thread icons, so the plugin isn't finding anything to change. You also have two copies of the plugin installed when you should only need one.

The easiest way to fix this on your theme is to find $[thread.icon] in Themes > Layout Templates > Board > Thread List and replace it with this:

<span class="icon">$[thread.icon]</span>

Got it! Thanks Brian !

Hi,

Thanks for this plug-in.

Is there any way I can get it to appear in the Legend and announcements? As you can see here: politicsforum.boards.net/board/119/soapbox, it doesn't appear in the announcement sticky.

Thanks.

Thanks.

It looks like this was due to the thread being an announcement but still being stickied, which the if statement that handles announcements is explicitly ignoring.

This should now be fixed in 1.0.3 on the library.

I unstickied it and now it shows, but is there any way to put an icon in the Legend to identify it like the others in the Legend?

You'll need to modify the Legend's HTML in Themes > Layout Templates > Board to include the icon. The plugin does not do this on your behalf.

Hi Brian
I was wondering how would it be possible for me to do this as well, how could I include the icon in the legend? I don't know how to code.

[Brian]

In Themes > Layout Templates > Board find this section:

{foreach $[legend]}
    <td>$[legend.icon] <span>$[legend.name]</span></td>
{/foreach}

For each new icon you want to add insert a new line after the above section and add this to that new line:

<td><img src="URL TO IMAGE"> <span>Icon Name Here</span></td>

The end result should look like this:

{foreach $[legend]}
    <td>$[legend.icon] <span>$[legend.name]</span></td>
{/foreach}
<td><img src="URL TO IMAGE"> <span>Icon Name Here</span></td>
