Change thread icon per category

[Chrissiest Chris]

Is it possible to make each board have a different icon for thread, locked, announcement etc?

[Chrissiest Chris]

Well?

If it's not possible please tell me so I don't waste my time.

You can try inserting something similar to the following into the header of each board or category for which you wish to display alternate icons:

<style type="text/css">
/* ==hide the standard icons for this board== */
.container .item.thread .icon img {
width:1px;
height:1px;
}

/* ==define new icons just for this board== */

/* sticky locked */
.container .item.thread.locked.sticky .icon::after {
content: url(//images.proboards.com/f/icons/thread-locked-sticky.png);
}

/* locked announcement*/
.container .item.thread.locked.announcement .icon::after {
content: url(//images.proboards.com/f/icons/thread-locked-announcement.png);
}

/* sticky */
.container .item.thread.sticky .icon::after {
content: url(//images.proboards.com/f/icons/thread-sticky.png);
}

/* locked */
.container .item.thread.locked .icon::after {
content: url(//images.proboards.com/f/icons/thread-locked.png);
}

/* announcement */
.container .item.thread.announcement .icon::after {
content: url(//images.proboards.com/f/icons/thread-announcement.png);
}

/* thread */
.container .item.thread .icon::after {
content: url(//images.proboards.com/f/icons/thread.png);
}
</style>

You would of course change the image urls to the urls of the images you wish to use. One caveat with this however, is it will not affect the legend at the bottom of the board since that lacks sufficient classes to correctly identify replaceable elements, but you can easily hide that container with CSS and create your own in the board or category footer. The other option would be to expand on the code presented in this thread which would then be able to deal with legends, your choice...

ETA: Here is a plugin: Judge a Thread by Its Icon

That plugin was a life saver. Thanks.

Locked announcement doesn't seem to be working though

I only accounted for locked-announcement  not the  locked-announcement-sticky combination as you have it in the "American Dad!" board but I'm not sure when I'll get a chance to address that since I'll be pretty much unavailable for the rest of the week. Hopefully when I am settled in my new place I'll get internet access fairly quickly.

[Chrissiest Chris]

Alright. There's no rush. I'm grateful enough you actually made this.

[Chris]

try this quick fix, if no joy then what I said earlier regarding short on time still applies

[Chrissiest Chris]

Didn't work. But I'm patient. Like I said no rush.

[Chris]

Probably not obvious but did you go into plugin settings and change the image you have assigned to the "locked announcement" to instead say "sticky locked announcement"(new)? In other words what you have now would work if there was no sticky on the announcement which seems redundant to me but since it is allowed then the newly added sticky locked announcement should handle that case.

[Chrissiest Chris]

Ohh I didn't realize. I assumed locked announcement and locked sticky announcement was the same. It's working now, thanks.
